That's the thing right. Even with battery issues, these things are the best things since sliced bread. I'd argue my ebikes are not only the best bikes I've ever purchased, but the best things I've ever purchased full stop.
I've also posted on the general forum in case others with the EP8 have seen similar problems with their bikes. I also have the SC-E7000 on the Decoy, and SC-EM800 on the Meta. But, I have the same Garmin attached to both bikes. I've created two profiles on the Garmin - one called 'Meta' that...
Sorry to hear about your shoulder. Unfortunately the floods are very bad here, and it hasn't stopped raining. We're in the middle of another storm:

Let me give another real example that happens all the time on my local mountain.
Decoy with E8000. Garmin shows 30% battery left, 900 meters elevation completed, 20km distance completed and estimates I have 10km distance remaining. 2 bars on Shimano display. Battery drains consistently and I...
@IainF are you still seeing the same problem? This should have been fixed by a firmware update by now. And as it hasn't, I think this might be a hardware problem...
"The battery charge indicator drops slowly to 2 bars rapidly from 2 to 1 and then almost immediately goes to zero. "
I was going to post a new thread, but see it is covered here - I'm getting exactly the same problem, and I've updated all the firmware to the latest version with the E-Tube app...
I have the Rockguardz on the Decoy and it works great. Smaller footprint and attaches securely. I cut it down so it didn't go over the battery, just over the motor. I also had a Rockguardz on the Meta, but it didn't secure properly (there are screws for the Decoy) and it kept falling off! Hence...
Yes indeed:
Unfortunately, they don't ship to North America. I had to get it shipped to my Dad in England first: carter moteur pour META POWER ALU 29 P-27,5 P , 2021 , moteur EP8 Shimano - Amygos

Tried out the mullet Meta for the first time today and absolutely loved it! Of course I could simply be used to riding the mullet format from having the Decoy for almost 2 years, but I'm really glad I did the modification.
I got one from Amygos. Works great:

Not sure if the sizing charts have been updated correctly though. They say the following: "A shorter 10mm reach, a straightened steerer angle and extended (10mm) chain stays", but if you take a look at the sizing of this years...
Awesome. Looks like it's available a little earlier here in Canada, and the great thing with Commencal is you can simply order the frame. Which is what I will do, and then build up the bike with existing parts (and of course use my 29" fork, and mullet wheels).
I haven't yet. Will order wheels next month and also chat with some folks I know in a local bike store before deciding if there is anything else I might need to do.
Yes getting a new rim and lace it to existing hub would certainly work as well. I'm currently saving up for carbon rims though. I was going to put these on at some point, and was just waiting/saving to see if I was going to mullet the bike first. Been riding it for 3 months now, and I think I'm...
