"Official" 600W Update For EP801-RS

[MeatBike]

Some guy on one of the Rise FB groups commented that Orbea now allow use of the full 600W via dealer update, with no affect on warranty. Apparently he's getting it done next week.

I've emailed Orbea to see what they're saying about it.

Orbea replied to my email and basically flat out denied this was an authorised thing

The FB guy says he'll get back in touch after he gets it done next week. Maybe his "official dealer" is offering to unlock it via EMAX and he doesn't realise.

To be honest I'm happy with the stock performance, but emax is maybe something I'll consider when the warranty has expired.

are you using the 4.3.0 4.3.1 or the 4.4.1 firmware?
I think I'm still on whatever my 2023 bike came with
I'm not sure if I can go to later firmware at home with my phone amd shimano E tube app or if I need to go to a dealer?
but I think I want to go to 4.4.1 - after seeing this thread https://www.emtbforums.com/threads/firmware-update-4-3-0.40441/
also are you using the overrun feature? - not sure if I want it, but a tidge might be ok
I do feel like a wee bit more oomph when technical climbing might be good...

I'm not near the bike to connect to it at the moment, but I only got it January so I assume it's running the latest F/W as it has all the "new" features like overrun. It's good when you need to clear something like rocks that might catch a pedal on full crank rotation, just give it a half crank and the bike will get you over/through. I only have it on the middle setting though, as on the highest it's a bit too keen.

Definitely worth visiting your nearest dealer to get the update if it's not appearing in the app.
