    Advice please. E8000 speed going haywire & motor cutting out but cadence steady

    Speed sensor cable was pinched under the main pivot (which I had to drop out), just as you described @Zimmerframe. Swapped it out for a new one and it's all reading correctly :). Also noticed cable rub on the pivot so have cable tied everything clear. Looks like the original builder rushed the...

I had checked the connection into the motor properly & that was fine but haven't checked the cable all the way through yet as it does seem to pass under the shock pivot. Its...

    Advice please. E8000 speed going haywire & motor cutting out but cadence steady

    Hi guys. Please can the hivemind help. My E-Sommet VRS E8000 has developed an issue. No fault code comes up though. When riding the speedo on the display keeps jumping up to 2 or 3 times the correct speed for couple of secs, which corresponds to the motor disconnecting. Presumably it thinks its...

    Hi there ?

    Hi everyone. I'm really glad to join the community. I've been riding my E-Sommet VRS for about a year on & off. Usually a mix of shuttling DH tracks & some exploring (& getting lost) on Welsh mountains. ?
