Answered Shimano e8000 power switch issue

[S D]

I noticed after my last ride that when the bike is switched off and bounced on the front wheel or shaken (think removing from bike rack and placing it on the ground or leaning it against a wall)
Then the power light illuminates for a few seconds and goes off.
Loose connection somewhere is what I’m thinking?

What bike is it?

What bike is it?

Jam2
Internal battery only at the moment

I have the same thing happening. And other people on this forum as well. Probably nothing to worry about.

Same on my Jam2.

That’s good to know, I can’t understand why I’ve only just noticed it as I’ve definitely moved it around plenty before now.

Thanks, I did a quick search but could not find anything, has no one questioned their dealer?

Like they're going to:

a) Know
b) Be bothered.

Confirm my Focus Jam2 does this also. Especially post being washed.

Happens on my Lapierre AM Overvolt too. Could just be designed as a reminder that the battery is still in? (For removable batteries!)

That rules the Jam2 out then. (battery not designed to be removed).
Guess it's just a design weakness with the control system.

Yeah interesting to know why they do this. Doesn't make sense to me...

I don't currently have my Jam2 with me but I'm sure my power button lit up when I moved the bike backwards... like it generated power via the motor.

 

[Danijel]

The funny thing is that the light also lights up when i wash the bike...

Perhaps it's getting turned on by having it's undercarriage washed
