    Shimano Battery Life Poll

    Interestingly, after 2928km and 30 cycles, my battery health ticked-over to 94% (NB. at 29 cycles it still showed 96%). So my average full battery range is ~100km, however… If I ride in Eco (36% assist) at 20°C my theoretical range is 170km, and I am confident I could do 150km, based on my...

    E-bike speed restrictions (agree or disagree )

    Speed restrictions on e-bikes should be adjustable. Cars on the road are capable of much higher speeds than we drive them. I personally think that riding on the road at 15 mph is more dangerous to other road users than doing 20-25 mph and blending better in the traffic. Once I am off-road...

    Shimano BT-E8035 Integrated Battery Issue: very fast degrading and loss of range

    Sorry for the delay… interestingly, I have 96% battery health at 28 cycles and 2840km on the clock. This indicates that my average range is 100km. However, on full battery stored in a warm place the bike still indicates theoretical range of 170km in Eco mode. Riding in 0-5° C the battery...

    BHF - London to Brighton

    For completeness, I thought I would share some intel from the L2B OR 2022. It was an epic event, very well organised, with marshalls, pitstops, mechanics and medics. Last year (with range anxiety) I rode first 40km in manual (motor-off). This year I rode almost entire ride in Eco mode (Lv4/10...

    504wh / EP8

    To @Zimmerframe point, I did recently L2B off road 2022 ride on my Ducati/THOK with EP8 motor and 640Wh battery. 96km ride, 3636 ft up and 3638 ft down. At the end of the ride I had 29% battery left with theoretical range shown on my bike as 45km. I rode mostly in Eco (Lv4/10, 34Nm), some easy...

    EP8 range

    Fair point, my weight is just under 80kg. Also the indicative range is sensitive to effort given, assistance settings and terrain. My settings are as below… my theoretical range is 170km on #1 Eco and I have done about 120km, but never tested from full to flat. The other day I have done 40km...

    EP8 with 630 battery maximum range ?

    Hi @emtbeast Last year L2B off-road was ~95km. Very well organised and run event. I saw 8-ebikes on the day, but must have been more, as there were ~3000 riders in total. Registration is open for 2022 and I am doing it again. There are check-points / pit-stops every 20km, so you can stop to...

    New Shimano FW update E8000 - 4.9.0, E7000/E6100 - 4.6.0, E5000 - 4.4.2

    Is there a way to install previous iOS eTube app on a new iPhone? I understand one cannot install old ver over the new one, but what if it’s ‘virgin’ / untouched phone?
