Ep801 solution

[Fielonator]

Howdy. It's not a stunlocker thing, but I've cracked my ep801. I used e-max tuning. They haven't yet released software for the ep801 but offer a personal service done remotely. Best 119 euros I've spent in a while. I needed to get my hands on a Shimano dongle to connect to my p.c. but they did the rest. Few emails, sent some screenshots of my bike connected to their software, made and appointment and Markus did the rest. I now have a bike derestricted up to 50km/hr, accurate speed and distance readings on the display, and the license to use on my bike as often as I need to once they release the new software. I'm really impressed and highly recommend doing it.

I posted this on the stunlocker thread as it seemed people were struggling with the ep801 system. There's no need to struggle, just use e-max tuning. I've got nothing against stunlocker, never even seen it, but if it doesn't work for the motor system you have there's a very good alternative. Just saying. Not sure why this is in italics, but it is.

Peace brothers and sisters.

 

[aarfeldt]

I will do the same soon.

speed are not half speed on display ?

 

[Fielonator]

Everything is displayed correctly, the limit is changed to 50km/hr in the software.

For the ep8 and older systems it's possible to change region and wheel size to get a higher speed limit, and this makes the indicated speed incorrect.

I've had a few rides now and it's been faultless.

This is the info. They were very quick to respond, not sure if he's a one man band or not so you may deal with a different person.

EMAX TUNING unlocked my EP801 RS speed and power !

I'm assuming that your EP801 is still under warranty but you went ahead with the derestriction anyway, correct?

Yeah that's right. It's all reversible with no evidence of it being done, apart from the speed stats. I guess if I ride consistently way over the normal cut out somebody may smell a rat. Fingers crossed it won't need any warranty work done. So far so good!

I can fully understand why you would do it, I want to too as the cut-out is like hitting a brick wall. I am just very reluctant to do so whilst still under warranty, these toys are not cheap.

 

[Fielonator]

So much more fun. Get in touch with the guys at e-max. They were really helpful when I was looking at my options, they were happy to answer the questions I had.

 

[Backflip]

That sounds great - thanks for your advice. I think I will give it a try too.

I think it is not my duty to convince you and to create a video to satisfy your purposes - I´m happy if my bike works well and if you don´t believe in this, it is up to you.
Is there any reason why I should write publicly that the mod is working if it is not - that makes no sense for me, but maybe for you...
Just have a look around in this forum and others and you will see that there are a lot of users which have done this EMAX solution for the 801. Also there are already videos of this tuning in the net.

 

[Fielonator]

Agreed. E-max have their own video on YouTube. I'm not making one.

 

[SEBA]

emax programmer is talking me because

first he said that is a complicated thing to derestrict ep801

but now after several mails

it 's a doable task and no risky at all to derestrict ep801

now let me in peace thank you.

[SEBA]

[Amber Valley Guy]

What's your cadence at 50kmh (31mph) it's got to be 200-230 ish on a EU spec bike surely?

I'm running a 38t chainring. I've only reached the top speed on a couple of road commutes, not spinning out by any means. Off road I don't get close to topping out the assistance.
