April 13, 20233 yr This is a fantastic video of a deliveroo and Uber eats rider using an Eskuta. Nice bike as well even though it does have the usual white wire that you can disconnect to make it go much faster. https://www.eskuta.com/ Edited April 13, 20233 yr by AGS
April 13, 20233 yr dont get a bike with a shitmano motor the mofos wont even sell you a new motor unless you give them the old one and 800 quid for the new motor and 100 quid for the shop to fit it takes the total pi$$

Is this your mate's motor, and is he stuffed? Phaserunner time?
April 13, 20233 yr it is his shitmano e8000 motor but getting close to when they implode mileage wise 6-10.000km as bearings wear out and destroy the metal gears. if fkn Madison wont sell motors for bikes with dead motors out of warranty they are not fit for purpose and the worst out of all of them and unfixable crap. the bike is just not worth anything 5k down the drain

April 13, 20233 yr he destroyed one wheel hub the new one is now also fooked because there shitmano needs new cassette as well it is just money down the drain if he cant get a new motor. the new ep8 will fit but fkn good luck getting one of those and not much better from what i have read so dont buy any fkn bike with a shitmano motor
April 13, 20233 yr Can he get a BB (plus a bit of bike frame) cut off from a donor bike welded into the space? Then fit a Bafang mid drive? Or hub?
April 13, 20233 yr the new ep8 will fit but fkn good luck getting one of those ??? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/125853534408?hash=
April 13, 20233 yr well it is not to far up the road will send him the link but will need the other bits as well so not cheap. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CcySGZDscxM:1143
April 13, 20233 yr he has 2 options replace the motor he has or upgrade it and get bloody rid of it or it will be hung on his wall with a broken motor until he is dead. it also has a carbon front triangle and it will crack over time as rides it like a fkn kangaroo and the ep8 makes a clanking noise
April 13, 20233 yr e8000 motor This seller's rating isn't 100%: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/374621395491?hash=
April 13, 20233 yr he could go and get it just there is no way to service them so no matter what he gets it will fail and another grand down the drain. it could last 15.000km or might only get 2000km but none of them will have warranty. he had a focus jam last bike and that had a e7000 motor with the pcb glued to the fkn case so again cant service it and knows peter wont touch these motors out the frying pan in to the volcano
April 13, 20233 yr it could last 15.000km or might only get 2000km Is that why they're called Shimano "Steps" and not Shimano Pedals? Walking the bike is free.
April 13, 20233 yr shitmano the worlds worst ebike motors when it is out of warranty you can take it to ur local service centre, Gloucester tip
April 13, 20233 yr he has 2 options 3. Get it insured, then get a better bike after it's stolen next month? Joking.. joking...
April 13, 20233 yr id not want it even for free as for 850 quid i can have my motor fully rebuilt as new and get the batt recelled every ten years. and i got a free service if i need one
April 13, 20233 yr https://www.lightest.bike/SHOP/Lightest-1000W-kit-with-800Wh-battery-presales-p221084512
April 15, 20233 yr https://www.lightest.bike/SHOP/Lightest-1000W-kit-with-800Wh-battery-presales-p221084512 [ATTACH type=full" alt="51128]51128[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type=full" alt="51129]51129[/ATTACH] Is that a viable option 4?
April 15, 20233 yr frame adaptors can be made but getting the chain line in the right place for the motor can be a pita depending on what motor you use. a bafang would fit my bike but it would mean changes to the frame that cant be undone
April 15, 20233 yr £2k for an anaemic 250W 48V motor and no storage, 15.5mph is always the killer, will the white wire trick work and what would range then be? They do look pretty cool though but cannot see many hard core delivery guys buying them given the other options they have re power/range.
April 15, 20233 yr Author Range is an issue with any performance e-bike. Delivery riders will need at least two batteries for a full shift if it is derestricted. I just watched a video of an upgraded Surron on a motor cross track getting creamed by 125cc and 250cc bikes. And his battery went flat after only 12 laps. It was suggested to him that he needed 3 batteries and they cost around 2 grand each.
