Mine is the same when you first power on the bike, it takes a few pedal revolutions for the motor to provide assist, but as long as the bike stays switched on, subsequent pedalling from a stop results in near instaneous (maybe within a quarter of a pedal stroke) assist from the motor. If I turn...

Unscrew the display, and lift it out of the frame, underneath you'll find two cables coming from the display, one goes to the remote, just unplug it from here and then remove the remote from the bike.

Thanks for that. Could you try and describe how the firmware has Changed the motor performance?

Shouldn't be the rearhub, because the pedals should just rotate backwards without turning the chain ring at all, so the hub shouldn't come into it. I'd ride it and see if it frees up with a bit more use

First motor failed at ~450 miles Frame cracked at ~450 miles - discovered while cleaning the bike to take it in for the new motor Handlebar remote failed at ~800 miles New motor/frame etc has all been fine since though - so pretty happy with it

My first hpr50 motor failed at around 450 miles and was replaced under warranty, the second motor is now on 1000 miles and is still fine

It'll be due to the supersoft compound tyres on the bike that's slower rolling. Assuming there's no brake drag, or issue with the wheels, or other faults.

this place is ok (if a bit rundown), and quite good VFM if theres a few of you. Quite a few of the pro mtb teams stay there - saw some of the santa cruz syndicate team last year when we stayed. https://www.macdonaldhotels.co.uk/plas-talgarth

if you have the very latest firmware installed on the motor etc, then you can use the tq app to see the versions, but if you have any earlier versions of the firmware installed the TQ app doesnt show the versions

The e13 alloy cranks that came on my 9.5 are not self extracting, so I needed a crank extractor tool

I'd doubt it - Sounds like the motor is broken to me, but I guess you'll find out for sure soon enough

No, it's a separate setting, nothing to do with the other screens. I think it's worth leaving extended center button functionality enabled for that day when your handlebar remote fails, you can still change power modes. Although I guess if you have your phone on you, you can just switch it on...

You have inadvertently enabled extended centre button functionality, in the TQ app you can toggle this behaviour on or off.

The clutch in my motor failed after about 400 miles/3 months, with mine the pedals became totally disconnected from the chain ring, they just span in either direction, so I couldn't even pedal it with the motor switched off. The motor was replaced under warranty very quickly, and the new motor...

comparison here https://www.emtbforums.com/ams/we-rode-the-new-shimano-ep6-and-ep8-801-ebike-motors.49/ and here https://www.bikeradar.com/news/shimano-ep600-ep801 Looks like functionally they are the same, but the ep6 is heavier, heavier casing , gears etc
