Hey crew, just chasing any info on lead time and possible hold ups on warranty job of my e8000 motor, came up with e020 error, then w020 , then e010 motor then shut down and bike never started again, shop done diagnostic on it cleared error, but still non responsive to start, plugged battery...

I for one, if my e8000 is bricked, will be looking at the retro fit of an ep8 into my Norco sight vlt that and swapping the fork out for a 29er, should actually put my 2020 model back up to spec with the lastest trends in the ebb world 😂😂

I upgraded last weekend, had no issues with my motor until upgrade, first down hill I hit e020 followed by e010 then w020, then it bricked. My motor is 5months old never been anything but factory settings, now in shop, telling me it’s a possible engine replacement job.

Epic motors in Australia bolted a ep8 straight into an older 2018/19 Merida 160 was a straight swap. Shimano aren’t going to tell you this as if that’s the case, we’d all just buy $1500 motor upgrades

Just starting the same issues now. Bike started cutting in and out, shop replaced wiring cables, 3 rides later noticed bike shorting out again. Then the next ride BOOM!! E020 error followed by E010 error screen froze, then bike turned off. Bike is currently in shop again. Seems to happen every...

Yeah I missed out on that deal. I ended up with the sight VLT C2 absolutely loving it

Me any my brother out on our first run on the new rides Norco sight vlt c2 Pivot shuttle Was a cracking day for it. Unfortunately lost my phone out there, hence no during ride pic’s But happy ending for home hit the find my phone app on my wife’s walked back in and “Boom!!” Found it . Will get...

Hi Guy’s, I know this is a ongoing question. But I’m curious to know. Thinking of going the chip route for derestriction of my e8000 as it’s a simple in out without having to tamper with firmware. But have come across another app Eplus tuner , it allows you to do the same as other apps but...

Totally agree, I was assuming, but should of mentioned by local from a reputable dealer

Yeah Nah, you’ve miss read my intent. it is purely to hopefully give some a peace of mind or clarity into their purchase. And not to get hung up on the finer details of their first purchase and just enjoy what they can afford, I have the luxury of having within our family a Merida e160 500se...

Yes, I just thought I’d post it as I put myself under an enormous amount of pressure on what I wanted and started loosing sight of why I was wanting one in the first place, and then to actually have the luxury of being able to ride a budget bike back to back with mid class and top end, they all...

The Jam2 is an excellent bike I was going to purchase but was 6week wait, with no guarantee it would only be that. So I took a Norco off the floor as I didn’t want to wait, you’ll love it it’s a Gem of a bike

Hey fellow e-mtber’s, Just dropping this here to hopefully assist in deciding which bike is right for you. As our first purchase is more than likely going to be our most confused one of all. 1. Forget about what motor it is, they’re all going to assist you. Don’t get hung up in this. They all...

I just went through a similar story. And ended up with a totally different bike than what was on my short list. The Jam2 6.8 is an absolute gem of a bike as is the tron2 the only major difference is they travel suspension set up And ergo’s , Tron is a much more comfortable bike to ride in every...

I did, but over here in Australia they start at $9000. I ended up with a Norco Sight vlt C2 27.5 2021 model (has the upgraded spec with lyric over yari fork and the sram guide Re over the e brake) super happy with it. Like it more than the 29er Norco bought out ( test rode back to back)
