    buy battery? or should i upgrade the bike?

    My bike is also 2019 and my battery is down about 10% on range down from 61 miles to 55 on display in ECO after full charge. Is your battery internal or external? Mine is external and the frame has room for the larger Shimano battery. I would have to add the new mounting kit too. COMMENCAL |...

    Any under 25s here?

    My son jumped to ebike when he found them as playful as his very lightweight and awesome full carbon mtb. And ditto - lets just session hat climb and descent and try a different line. But with you on the "it's a light wind hobby" Mike. FYI that's me crashing and not my son on my profile pic 👍

    ALDI tracker - anyone managed to fit one on their eBike?

    Reading mixed reviews of this on campervan and motorbike sites. Poor internal battery life means hard wiring. Has anyone managed to fit one of these to their eBike (e8000 Shimano) I guess you could use the light terminals. https://www.aldi.co.uk/auto-xs-gps-vehicle-tracker/p/716983578247000 My...

    E8000 E010 Out of Warranty

    I have never come across anyone saying Shimano repaired their motor - all are either replaced under warranty or refused if they have been tampered with such as region change. I have also not found anyone who can source spares to repair shimano motors with original parts in UK

    E8000 E010 Out of Warranty

    My motor had about 1600 miles on it and was over 6 months out of warranty. Started the claim with Madison myself and they asked me to pass it through my local bike shop in Dorset (not where I bought it as it came from Commencal in Andorra). Same as first poster E10 error with full diagnosis on...

    Hi all, looking for first eMTB, have specific requirements though :)

    I'm over 100kg before kit and can get 1000m out of e8000 with 504w battery in the summer - 3.5 year old Commencal Meta, but that is mostly in Eco. If it's your first eBike , note that which power mode you use, the trails softness and your own power output massively impact your range. Having the...

    Shimano Battery Life Poll

    Mine is 3.5 years old and on eTupe Pro 5.1 also indicates 2nd Gen? Odd as I didn't think it was as the 504 external was latest technology when I bought my bike. And, eTube Pro no longer gives battery status in terms of how much % it is at full charge which the older versions used to. Mine now...

    Building a better mousetrap

    I've found these pretty effective. Although they still fail to trigger (using peanut butter) occasionally as the mice seem to be able to nibble without tripping the trap, but when they do the spring is super strong. I had no food in my garage with a fully sealed Hormann garage door and they ate...

    Best car for 2 emtbs

    Pre 2008 Honda Accord Estate and now Skoda Superb estate. Front wheels and pedals off, two XL ebikes flat and one S analogue (wheels and pedals still on). Just pad with blankets / foam. Make sure superb doesn't have heated rear seats as the rear squab doesn't fold flat in them apparently. With...

    Shimano e8000 E10 Error

    Well, today LBS called and said pick up my bike. No bill from Shimano only LBS bill for dismantling shipping and rebuilding with "NEW e8000". Bike was 6 months out of warranty and 1600miles(2600km) only. So I would say a good result from Madison (Shimano UK). Yes a pain to diagnose, be without a...

    Shimano e8000 E10 Error

    Thanks and good luck. Whilst the SMPCe02 isn't cheap, especially if your phone connects easily, it at least means you can do all your own diagnostic work and Access logs and reports and present them to the shop. Commencal gave me a good discount when I bought mine. I believe it works on new...

    Shimano e8000 E10 Error

    Thanks for the update. Interesting what you say about Bluetooth connectivity. I'm on the latest software and my phone refuses to pair. Luckily I have the SMPCe02 which is cable to the laptop and that works fine. Beware of switching speeds up or regions as the latest firmware has a history file...

    Shimano e8000 E10 Error

    Original motor. Thanks that's on my list of things to try. My LBS would send it to Madison for me. Would like to fix it myself if possible, so asking the community. Will also contact Commencal.
