    STEPS E8000 Motor Service

    Looks like my 26,000 miles E8000 will live on. Used/Dead/parts E8000s are pretty rare in the UK EP8s everywhere...guess maybe the ebike repair shops hoard then. I tried a few local bike shops thinking they'd have some dead ones sat on shelves but they all basically said they have absolutely...

    STEPS E8000 Motor Service

    Well my (2nd) E8000 may finally be done having repaired it twice before with the main bearing been replaced first and then one of the crank bearing failing and replaced... But now it seems it's not a bearing failure but the teeth on whatever the below cog is have worn so much they have failed...

    STEPS E8000 Motor Service

    The factors for me not replacing any crank seals were: Availability, as in couldn't just go on Amazon and get a next day delivery of them like I did with the bearing(s). My bearing failed 1 day I was fixing it the next morning/afternoon and back riding it. Also my repair was a bit of a minimum...

    STEPS E8000 Motor Service

    Ha thanks I couldn't remember what the minimum wheel size was (to do the math) and couldn't really remember how/be bothered to connect the app to the bike to see! This is my second drive unit first one was warranty replaced around 18,000 miles so the bike has done roughly 40,000 miles total.....

    STEPS E8000 Motor Service

    Damn been a minute, many thousand problem free miles (bikes showing 12.5k miles but the wheel circumference has been set to min size since drive units day1 so would think it's into the 20k miles) later since the rebuild in October 2022 the 6808DD crank bearing started to collapse whilst out on...

    STEPS E8000 Motor Service

    It's a little over a year and 8000 or so more miles since my motor started sounding rough and I subsequently rebuilt it (new bearings and grease). Coming back after a 50 odd mile ride earlier this week it occurred to me it still sounds as sweet as a nut. There was some debate around grease at...

    E8000 wrecked cogs

    My first E8000 motor did over 18,000 miles derestricted/'chipped' in under 2 years before the crank bearings collapsed, my Dads Bosch Gen3 made it to around 24,000 miles.

    STEPS E8000 Motor Service

    I've never had that issue once so for it to strike when it did :mad: Little over 100 miles since I serviced it and so far so good.

    STEPS E8000 Motor Service

    Just finished my overhaul frustrating....(see below), just done a couple of miles and it's as quiet as it gets but will see how it holds up over a few thousand. There was/is a small crack/hole in the right side of the plastic casing that's been there since this motor was replaced under warranty...

    STEPS E8000 Motor Service

    Opened up mine today as it the fast paced shh shh (sometimes sounding like a tieclip been pulled) sound was getting louder. This is how it looked for me, gears all look pretty good but grease seemed a bit tired, not sure if it all going brown is normal? The bearing covered in the brown gunk is...

    Interested what you decide to do and how it works out

    STEPS E8000 Motor Service

    Thanks for this, I've got the same noise. Can confirm it gets worse with continuous load going through the DU so fits the heat build up theory. Also my original motor got to 18k before crank bearings failed (never developed this noise) but the current replacement is on like 9k so could support...

    Another E8000 Noise Question

    Just a quick one. Quick background. Bikes now well out of warranty on its second motor (new one fitted after 18k miles after crank bearings failed). This motor has now done about 10k and its started making a rubbing (like shhh shhhh) noise that is at a faster rate than the crank rotation speed...

    Spectral:ON 630Wh external Battery (BT-E8016) upgrade possible?

    Also just upgraded to one of these batteries on my ghost. Thanks to whoever noticed/sussed out the battery mount mod, worked a treat and easy to do. Got mine from Deporvillage (the Brexit 20% tax parcelforce release was a bit unwelcome). Just did 37 miles on it and had 13 left, about a 20...

    Volspeed tuning box for Bosch gen 4

    Yea they defo won't be able to see with definite data as the tuning boxes constantly tweak the speed data been fed to the drive unit to show you're below the 25kph limit. As I understand the Bosch drive unit records lots of parameters from your riding and undoubtedly a human could look at the...

    Destricting gen4 Bosch without error 504?

    Seems you can get modest performance increases with Speedbox and Volspeed but the higher you push the speed and longer you run above the normal limit the higher chance of you getting a 504 error. You won't brick the motor it just puts it in a kind of limp mode kind of like ECO mode mode assist...

    Volspeed tuning box for Bosch gen 4

    I want to return to Bosch as the Gen 4 performance looks pretty sweet. As anyone here got serious mileage (like 4/5k) under there belt yet to prove any of the solutions fully work?

    STUnlocker (ex Shimano STEPS Unlocker) Android & Windows App for derestriction/market change and etc

    Hi, My E8000 just bit the bullet and is been replaced under warranty. Couple of Qs....I assume the replacement will come with the latest firmware on board will stunlocker work with it? Do I have to buy stunlocker again as I seem to recall it's tied to the serial number of the drive unit? FYI...
