Motor is sold. Admin you can remove or close this thread if you want.

I don't normally post items for sale on these forums, but this is a pretty unique one that I thought someone could be interested in. As I don't think the general public can order these online, as least not easily. See link: 2021 DU-EP800 Ebike motor For Sale

Took me 3-4 months of constantly riding it before I enjoyed it as much as my normal bikes.

I ride mtb and moto for the last 20 years and never once had any issue with the brakes being different. Now that being said, I always disliked owning 2 mountain bikes at once because I could never get comfortable on bikes with different geo/sizing. Especially going between ebike and normal...

Cockpit finally set up the way I want it (for now) with the Dominions, Deity bar/stem/grips, the skinnier non-matchmaker clamps, and OneUp multi tool. Would like a wolftooth dropper lever, but that’s purely luxury as the stock works fine. Also the cables are a mess, but unless I got AXS I think...

With the help of the park tool hose routing tool, and letting the air out of the shock, getting my new brakes routed turned into a 10 minute job with zero struggle. (Now bleeding them was a different story, lol). Did not touch the motor or battery.

My local bike shop told me that to do the rear brake they were just removing the air from the shock, and with the suspension compressed it was “super easy” to route the rear brake above the motor. I have a set of Hayes Dominions I’ve been wanting to put on, but have been procrastinating. Will...

But that “better battery” cannot fit inside his Levo frame, so that doesn’t help your friend out at all. No one is stopping him from getting a different bike if he doesn’t want to pay specialized’s crazy premiums.

Thanks @Norange and @Doomanic, those are great finds. But I’m in the US so shipping isn’t an realistic option. Appreciate you looking out though.

Really? Never seen a specialized mtb frame compatible with a Shimano motor.

Correct, but they are different shapes and I am hesitant to buy a 1 size fits all frame, since it was probably designed around the e8000 so not sure how well the fit would be.

Sir, you are derailing my thread with stuff I’m not even concerned about. I’m looking for a pedal assist mountain bike frame that’s compatible with an EP8 drive unit.

The image you shared is not even remotely comparable to the ebike Rob built up.

For me the process of building a bike is enjoyable. And I am constantly buying and selling bike parts to begin with, so no extra hassle. Also, the motor is brand new still in shimano packaging, so yes, if I am not able to build up a bike I will sell it to someone that needs it since my current...

That’s exactly what I want to do if I can just find a frame that will fit my motor I currently have.
