    Motor reliabilty

    10 motors (e8000) over 5 years on 3 bikes. Latest motor bearings getting a bit bad after 4000km.

    Motor noise, power cut-off and warranty void

    Yep. My two local Shimano agent shops are great with the Edin. Bike Coop being superb at helping out.

    Motor noise, power cut-off and warranty void

    In the UK the main issue is Madison not the bike shop. They are the Shimano importers and handle warranty claims. Any time I have had dealings with them the bike shop has had to jump through hoops to get a fix. It took me 5 months for my local shop to get them to sell me a spare motor ...

    Buying E8000 in 2022 ?

    That was clever as I don't see any settings in STUnlocker to change Max torque and Power.

    I have done 12k km on my bike and am just fitting the 4th E8000. All 3 bearing failures.

    Buying a s/h bike with shimano motor, what to look for?

    A bike with another brand of motor would be a good start. I am now on my 4th motor in 3 years (approx. 11000km). They are not serviceable and even though I like the way they ride my next bike will NOT have Shimano motor.

    Intermittent drops in E7000 assistance

    Most Pro's aim for 100-120 I think so at 240 is a bit wasteful :-) Maybe try using the gears !

    Intermittent drops in E7000 assistance

    Looking at the torque curves (online so only an estimate) all the motors have less than 10nm of torque above 130 rpm. At that revs (520 rpm motor?) it would still be delivering 250+ watts.

    Intermittent drops in E7000 assistance

    I doubt very much it is an intermittent battery voltage problem. If the motor is overheating you would also get a W010 error. Have you read my earlier post ?

    Intermittent drops in E7000 assistance

    Are you keeping some load on the pedals (torque) all the time. If you are spinning fast it is easy to have a part of the crank rotation with nearly zero torque. The motor spots this and reduces assistance. The assistance is a torque multiplier not a fixed output. Try a one or two gears up and...

    Front Chainring/Rear Cog Size in Etube software

    I think the gearing in the SW is for DI2 not the motor. There is no need for the motor to know the gearing
