I'm at >2000m I'm at >2000m on my Pinion MGU with belt with only using water to clean it of grime. I call that pretty much zero maintenance. I recently bought a spare belt when I had the bike serviced as I didn't want the hassle of waiting should I suddenly need one. Having ridden chained...

Whilst the MGU CVT is probably next year, there are already MGU gearbox models available and not reliant on a few Chinese frame makers. Pinion is available and built into several bikes including Haibike (carbon) Nicolai (Aluminium). Both available to demo now, though you may have to travel a few...

Total B/S validated by some brief searches of relevant company and news sites

My bike is also 2019 and my battery is down about 10% on range down from 61 miles to 55 on display in ECO after full charge. Is your battery internal or external? Mine is external and the frame has room for the larger Shimano battery. I would have to add the new mounting kit too. COMMENCAL |...

My son jumped to ebike when he found them as playful as his very lightweight and awesome full carbon mtb. And ditto - lets just session hat climb and descent and try a different line. But with you on the "it's a light wind hobby" Mike. FYI that's me crashing and not my son on my profile pic 👍

My son is 24 and has been riding his ebike for 18 months and loves it. I also lik ethe fact that I have a spare bik ewhen he's not using it ! 😂

Reading mixed reviews of this on campervan and motorbike sites. Poor internal battery life means hard wiring. Has anyone managed to fit one of these to their eBike (e8000 Shimano) I guess you could use the light terminals. https://www.aldi.co.uk/auto-xs-gps-vehicle-tracker/p/716983578247000 My...

I have never come across anyone saying Shimano repaired their motor - all are either replaced under warranty or refused if they have been tampered with such as region change. I have also not found anyone who can source spares to repair shimano motors with original parts in UK

My motor had about 1600 miles on it and was over 6 months out of warranty. Started the claim with Madison myself and they asked me to pass it through my local bike shop in Dorset (not where I bought it as it came from Commencal in Andorra). Same as first poster E10 error with full diagnosis on...

In ther outlet store Torque:ON 9 and add second battery Batteries

I'm over 100kg before kit and can get 1000m out of e8000 with 504w battery in the summer - 3.5 year old Commencal Meta, but that is mostly in Eco. If it's your first eBike , note that which power mode you use, the trails softness and your own power output massively impact your range. Having the...

Mine is 3.5 years old and on eTupe Pro 5.1 also indicates 2nd Gen? Odd as I didn't think it was as the 504 external was latest technology when I bought my bike. And, eTube Pro no longer gives battery status in terms of how much % it is at full charge which the older versions used to. Mine now...

Contact Shimano direct and explain the situation. My motor was replaced 6 months out of warranty.

I've found these pretty effective. Although they still fail to trigger (using peanut butter) occasionally as the mice seem to be able to nibble without tripping the trap, but when they do the spring is super strong. I had no food in my garage with a fully sealed Hormann garage door and they ate...

Pre 2008 Honda Accord Estate and now Skoda Superb estate. Front wheels and pedals off, two XL ebikes flat and one S analogue (wheels and pedals still on). Just pad with blankets / foam. Make sure superb doesn't have heated rear seats as the rear squab doesn't fold flat in them apparently. With...
