Trek rail or Ari timp peak
I need some help deciding, I currently own a 2022 rail 9.8 Bosch motor and lately I’ve been wanting to sell the bike and try the Ari timp peak. I haven’t tried the shimano motor, is it similar to the Bosch regarding annoying rattle noise? I heard the ep801 does not rattle when not pedaling...- Chris83

A new Shimano software update brings motor overrun settings for the EP801
Shimano just dropped the 4.3.0 update for the EP801 and EP600 motors. I usually don't do articles about software updates, unless it’s something very interesting. The Auto Shift ver. 2.2 might be big news, it remains to be seen. The carry over settings definitely seem interesting. Motor overrun... -
The cheaper 2025 Orbea Rise M20 and Hydro are here
I've been excited to see if Orbea would finally make a full-power bike weighing about 21 kg at around €5k. The answer is finally here and it's ... complicated. The entry level model, the 2025 Rise SL H30 has the old, weaker Shimano EP6 RS 60 Nm motor and the old 540 Wh battery. So, it's not the... -
The Shimano EP8 has motor over-run?
When interviewing Nick Murdick, a Shimano MTB product manager. We briefly talked about motor over-run, or carry-over. He told us the EP8 does in fact have over-run and it's only available in Boost mode. So, we tried to find it, and we compared the EP8 to the Bosch Performance CX. This video...- Knut Nes

Upgrading SC-E5000 ... to what, where, how?
Hi, newbie here, bear with the long missive: I own an e-bike with a Shimano E6100 drive, and it was sold with the basic SCE-5000 display with no bluetooth magic or anything. It's fine and does the job more or less. eBikes, especially this set-up, are particularly popular in Sweden as commuter...- GigalithineButhulne

The new Merida eOne-Sixty is finally here, and the eOne-Forty too
Launched back in 2017, the original Merida eOne-Sixty was a revolution to me. New, compact motor designs allowed manufacturers such as Merida to design a frame with sensible chainstay length and bottom bracket drop. This did wonders for handling on the trails. The new eOne-Sixty isn’t as... -

I've had my EP801 powered Polygon Collosus n8e for four months now and have ridden everything from flat xc trails, black diamond rocky/rooty hills, and man made jump lines.

What motor has the least over speed resistance?
I've been riding a couple of bikes with the Bosch CX motor and once I get over 32km they feel like hitting a wall. I've briefly ridden the Giant (Trance & Reign 2023 models), Shimano EP6 and 8 (not EP801) motors and don't recall as much resistance over the speed assistance limit but then I...- A22

EP8 noise (bearing?)
After 2 years, my EP8 has a kind of grinding when riding. Removed and cleaned the pedals, cranks and chainring, no help so it comes from inside the motor. Is it bearing noise? edit: the motor gave in after 3 months of having this noise, no longer providing support. -
