Wut? How well do you hear? This rattle is common for EP8/801, e8000 plus the current Bosch-Models albeit on the Ep8/801 its the worst and rather annoying on trails:
I don't think that this happened either but it could be possible in theory that some parts, especially around the crank axle would be interchangeable due to standardization. It would be really dumb tho to add this 'feature' to a motor that's not as prone ro rattle.
Did your old one not rattle? Usually the e8000 shouldn't rattle as easily as the ep8 but it depends on the frame. Maybe they did a running change to spare motors with ep8 parts?
How did you determine that the rattle is gone? Did you ride rough trails fast? Did you check by moving the crank arm back and forth by hand without a chain or by rolling the bike forward while doing it? Also some frames enhance the rattling by their kinematic design and frame. Did the ep8 in...
Yeah, still have it. Didn't get worse or anything. Just showes up once in a while but not really often, so I restart the system and everything works fine again.
It sounds like they admitted that they used the app to read out battery health. Just don't admit that you ever used an app like Stunlocker and tell them that you read out battery health with either the tablet version or the interface via the desktop app on firmware versions lower than 4.9.0 I...
I hope they got rid of the rattle. Although its weird that the Scott Ransom Eride that my sister got is almost rattle free. But most other EP8-bikes seem to be horribly noisy.
So now my battery from 2019 degraded to 93%. The mileage is actually a little more, maybe close to 4k km as I deactivated the motor on longer descents. I took this afte the first 5 rides of the season so idk when it jumped from 97% when I stored it in atumnd to 93% but its interesting that I...
I really hate that not one news outlet bothers to do comparable tests on a stand. Only in this case we could really find out how the motors compare.
But in general the shimano is one of the lightest and smallest 'power' motors while bosch seems to set its focus on power and range. This also...
