Has Shimano released new firmware for the E8000 that alters the assist levels? As far as I can tell only 3 FW versions exists. 4.0.7 from dec/17 is the latest, description says "bug fix". Or are you talking about tuning the motor, which can be done with the eTube app?First ride dialed in. The 3.0 Dirt Wizards really woke it up and I did the firmware update that made the trail mode like the Bosch EMTB mode which I have on my Haibike and really like it. I was able to leave in trail mode the whole ride. The bike is amazing.
Why's that Rob?Please keep all chat of deristricting in the correct section:
Thanks, I saw that on eBay also was wondering if it worked, reviews were good on it.Has anyone else tried the PearTune de-restricter for E8000? I find it works well on shimano - only drawback is that the speed displayed is 50% - so it show 10mph when you are doing 20 But who really looks at their speedo when hurling down though a forest? I also used PearTune on my Bosch and that was superb Both Available on e-bay.
We had a bit of a debate on deristricting talk allowed or not the forum. That was the end result - alll talk of deristriction is only allowed on that section ?Why's that Rob?
Makes sense to me. When ebikes were allowed on trails in my country, most concerns against the proposed law was that it was a fast motorbike that would tear up the trails. But the thing they were describing wasn't a pedelec which stops at 25kph. What they "feared" is a tuned ebike, with increased speed and/or increased power. If enough people hit the trails with these bikes, chances are all ebikes will lose access to trails. I think the opportunity we're given, to ride pedelecs on trails, is a great oportunity. There's quite a few people that are struggeling with illness, injuries or just age, that are now able to ride the trails again. We shouldn't risk it by acting irresponsibly. That's the case where I live at least.We had a bit of a debate on deristricting talk allowed or not the forum. That was the end result - alll talk of deristriction is only allowed on that section ?
The bike came with 2.5 Maxxis hi roller in front and Agressor in back. Good knobby tires, I just prefer plus tires, I put 27.5x3.0 Surly Dirt Wizards, Mad traction now.What tyres did yours come with , they look different to the uk bikes in that pic , I presume you’ve changed them
Freehubs do seem to need quite a bit of attention on all mtb , good idea to pop it off and service it check renew bearings etc I expect the bearings or one of them usually the inner has gone , iam not familier with this particular hub. There’s usually a vid somewhere on how to service take apart if not post some pics see if we can helpMy eE-Thirteen rear hub is starting to act up, freehub sticky not spinning consistently. When its sticks causes chain to move down the cassette. Anyone else have problems with these hubs. I read that they are prone to dust and water getting past the seals. When spinning the pedals in a stand by hand and let go the pedals move backwards instead of staying still.
Found that the chainring is on a freehub not connected to the cranks. It's the front freehub that is not connecting. Concentrating so much on the rear hub didn't notice until a friend told me that the chain ring and cranks were moving independently have to find me a Shimano Service center and get it checked out does not sound too serious
A normal bike shop will be able to service the hub it’s no different to a normal bike . It’s worth getting it looked at sooner rather than later , if the inner bearing breaks up in a feehub it can cost you a new hub or even more damage as the cassette will go out of alignment and your chain could come off over the top and take out the spokes or duailure , a bearing is about £3 and half hour to fit maybe .or It may just need a lube serviceNothing major I think motor still strong shifts and pedals

Iam completely confused here , sorry if Iam being a numpty , was your problem just with the rear freehub , or freewheel ,Yes was reading up on it and it is a regular chain ring but connected to a free hub independently from the cranks
