Ok, understood Gary , I wasn't sure so thanks for clearing that up. I find it's sometime required to know each other's background in order to get the conversation to the right level, to avoid getting obvious advice on the one hand , but still get knowledge where it's required. So in my...

Thanks for the reply :) . I did mention that I was talking only about specific things that go wrong with the E8000 motor. I know all the regular MTB stuff, and have a kit to handle everything you mentioned. When it comes to riding back to your car on a hot & humid day, uphill, after you've...

Thanks, that's the answer I was looking for.

So do you have a package with a part number that I can try to lookup on the web ?

Hi I'm trying to put together a list of things that can save the day when things go wrong on the trail, far away from base (and uphill ?) One simple failure to expect, the magnet coming off the spokes in the rear wheel. ( on a Merida e160 800) So where do I get a spare? Anyone know the...

Hi Got a quick question for you. I was cleaning the connectors and tried to open the main battery-to-motor plug. I applied quite a bit of force and it wouldn't open, so I let it stay connected You said "the main motor connection at the front behind the cover , lift the outside ring and it pulls...

Hello guys. Just wondering what kind of mileage you guys have on your e-one-sixties I have 1010km with 70.5 hours on mine A friend is considering getting a 2'nd hand bike with 2100km.... so he asked ...if 2100 is still reasonable What do you guys think? How long before things start going south...

Sidewall cut , stepped on a broken bottle, it's a good thing I had a needle and fishing line ?

Hi. Can you tell me what 150 cranks you got? Thanks, Ron

Maybe the best Mod, is that I convinced my brother to get one too, so I have a great riding partner, cause you don't see many e-mt s here yet...

A few mods but very minor cause it's perfect the way it is. - put a carbon Renthal riser bar. I wanted a 40mm riser, and bought carbon to add damping for a carpal tunnel issue I had ( excuses ?... I know) - swapped for a more comfy seat - Maxxis DHF up front to replace a sidewall cut on the...

This is the side I've seen . I haven't seen any photos from the other side. The creaking comes from the bearing on the other side, when the right side crank is under load. And on another note, it's surprising that the greased up cogs and the delicate electronics are in the same compartment like...

Thing is, this type of issue is going to occur in the new motor after a while.... I'm a do it yourself type of guy, so eventually I would like to just be able to do it myself once in a while, just like on a normal bike. I won't void the warranty for it, but in 1 year it will be worth knowing...

I love it. It's a great ride...
