    Bosch battery testing

    If the battery can be killed in a test, it probably may also suffer a "natural death" during a long ride, normally at the most remote location of the track. So if the test kills the battery, it is uncovering a battery issue and saving you the hassle. Well, that's my opinion and I may be wrong.

    Motor reliabilty

    E7000 has plastic gears that break easily, if the motor is replaced, better to get an E8000

    Bosch PowerMore Can Length?

    You are reading it right and the battery mock up has a body length of 200mm, which is the dimension specified by Bosch. I removed the air from the current shock and bottomed it out, and the shock does not get any closer to the PowerMore.

    Bosch PowerMore Can Length?

    I forgot that Shock eyelets are rotated 180ª, so when placing the shock upside down, the piggyback reservoir is rotated to the right, I tested the fit and the interference is similar, but I do not like it. This time I did not feel like making sawdust, so I used Photoshop. So I still have my...

    E020 error Shimano e7000

    I had this error E020, and it was caused by the "clip" contacts in the battery, which is the most probable cause, although it can also be caused by a broken or pinched wire, motor connector or motor electronics. Good Luck!!
