A little bit about our eBike motor repair centre

[@StuffOffYouStuff]

You guys are right to repair heros! Bosch has taken the 5th on repairability on the whole, their efforts have been meagre. The irony of their motto "invented for life" against their actual repair policy isn't lost on me. Keep up the great work!

[@briancunningham5196]

Pete's a top guy. When I had a small issue with my motor he replied quickly to emails and was really helpful

[@dragosrenita8901]

any way i could email you Pete? Would greatly appreciate some of your input

[@mikey0329]

I'd highly recommend Peter, his customer service is second to none. I had my bosch motor overhauled by Peter and now it's super smooth. You won't be disappointed 👍🏼

[@dariuslankarian3282]

Hope this business grows and more repair shops open up. Bike shops need to evolve simple gear tuning wont cut it anymore.

[@susanelliott6320]

Really impressed with Pete. He did a great job of full bearing replacement on my gen2 Bosch. Glad to see the business is going from strength to strength.

[@tonychambers6275]

Met Peter when I took my Bosch motor to his workshop he replaced all the bearings while I waited really nice guy and the motor has done a lot more miles than the original one and still going strong thank you

[@shingnosis]

It's ridiculous that none of the manufactures are offering spare parts, aren't Ebikes suppose to be environmentally friendly? Great job by Pete and team to offer this service.

[@tornadolighting]

I found this company online and a week later the Brose motor in my Levo failed. Contacted Pete for an appointment, dropped my bike in and a few hours later had a fully rebuilt motor ready for another few thousand mile thrashing - with a years guarantee. Pete is a top guy and a proper professional. This business is destined to be colossal in no time. Let me know when you are selling shares Pete. All the best.

[@leesaunders138]

I cannot say enough good things about this outfit. After watching his video and after a couple of emails I gained the confidence to remove my motor for sending to him. Whilst removing the motor I found some circumstances that may have caused my problem and after a further telephone conversation with Pete I reassembled the bike addressing those problems and eureka!, problem solved. I hadn't spent a penny with Pete, but couldn't have done it without his help. So rare to find firms like this, thanks guys, enjoy your coffees!

[@Ebikemotorcentre]

Thank you Lee, glad to hear all is well again. Thanks for the coffee too, always appreciated.

[@RafMaj]

I gave my bosh motor (Pefromance Line) to Pete for a general overhaul with a mileage of 32k kilometers. After replacing all the bearings and getting the motor back, I have already done another 20k kilometers within 1.5 years and the motor is running smoothly, despite a total mileage of 52k kilometers today. As soon as the motor becomes noisy again, I know where to send it :)

[@allsport5030]

Brilliant company really helpful ☺️

[@kalives21]

Any problems with a Bosch motor, this is the firm to go to. Very good, and easy to follow videos. Good delivery times. Highly recommended

[@robertyates9973]

Excellent service from Peter. He can fix the same day if you make an appointment, just take the whole bike and he will do a test and then strip down and rebuild where necessary. Otherwise you can send the motor to him by post. I did this on another occasion and he gave me a full report with photos on what had gone wrong.

[@experienceoutdoors6279]

I bought the Bosch gen two full kit from you, with the video help it's not a hard job but certainly need a few tools. But it's been I think 4-5 months now and running like new. New workshop looks flash, keep up the good work!

[@tonystone3397]

Nice one.

[@derekblake9385]

Great work shop

[@steve9502]

I love what you guys are doing!! Do you guys repair the electrics and connectors on the motors? I have a Shimano e8000 motor that needs some help! Thx Steve

[@Ebikemotorcentre]

Hi Steve, please email us at [e-mail] Thanks.

[@aston108]

Hi folks, could you possible make a video about how to service/grease the bearing from the outside to prevent water ingress... if thats even a thing? Specifically yamaha pw motors

[@Ebikemotorcentre]

Hi, Greasing bearings is not really a thing on the motor. Technically, they are sealed for life, but basically, if the grease gets contaminated with water or dirt, it is the beginning of the end anyway, re-greasing will not help.

[@aston108]

@@Ebikemotorcentre thanks guys, just thought it may gave been some preventative maintenance I could have done.

[@Ebikemotorcentre]

@@aston108 Definitely worth an ask. And there are some motors like Bosch Gen 4's for example, where this is possible and important to do outer maintenance, but not Yamaha yet.

[@mondodaftasabrush]

Do you have new impulse 2.0 motors for sale ? as I think mine is an electric PCB issue as its only done 15 miles ? I can ship it to you as per shop for an inspection / repair

[@Ebikemotorcentre]

Hi, We don't currently sell new Impulse motors, just repair them. If you would like us to take a look at your motor, please follow this link: www.ebikemotorcentre.com/repair-overhaul-service/

[@jugglematt100]

Thanks for the videos , im running a bosch gen 4 in a mtb with about 8500km . Do you recommend an additional seal kit to help keep water out ? And when do i think about getting the motor serviced? Thanks Matt

[@Ebikemotorcentre]

Hi Matt, no service is required on any Bosch motor but the Gen 4 should have the seal covers removed and replaced with new grease from time to time. How much time will depend on your riding terrain, cleaning habits, mileage etc. but I would take a look after the first 3 or 4 months and see what grease is left behind them. You can buy these here: www.ebikemotorcentre.com/bosch-gen-4/

[@LuisManuelHdez]

Got about 2250 mi. On my Brose 1.1 motor (2020 levo sl expert) appears to be a little noisy. Do u accept motors from the USA? Would love a complete overhaul/seal upgrade.If u do.. What's the address?

[@Ebikemotorcentre]

No need to send your motor to the UK, we have partners all over the world. Just follow this link and search America www.ebikemotorcentre.com/where-to-buy/

[@martinbywater]

It would have been interesting to have asked him “what in your opinion is the most reliable motor and what would they recommend”

[@Ebikemotorcentre]

I get, asked this question a lot! Most motors are reliable for most people. I would never want someone not to buy a bike that may have given them years of reliable service and they loved and really enjoyed riding, but didn't buy because I said the motor maybe temperamental. For the first two years you have warranty and after that you have us. A motor repair costs about the same as a decent rear cassette these days, so buy a bike with your heart and enjoy it to the full 😊

[@davidhudson8960]

Unless that bike has a Shimano motor... Repairability should be such a big thing for the manufacturers but seemingly only Bosch has thought about it, albeit in limited fashion...

[@richardharker2775]

@@Ebikemotorcentre My wife bought a Gazelle with an Impulse motor that lasted 8,000K's The dealer said that was a good life??? It cost $800 for a new motor and another $600 for service and labour. That really hurt but be assured the next bike won't have an Impulse motor and this one will be sold long before another 8,000k's. I realise it isn't beneficial for you to comment but I'm well aware there are good and bad designs along with manufacturers.

[@Ebikemotorcentre]

@@richardharker2775 80% of the Impulse motors fail because they used the wrong grease! It is like glue and sticks the pawls down in the freewheel mechanism and sticks dirt and metal filings between the gear teeth inside the motor. Change the grease and you should be good for 10K or more.

[@richardharker2775]

@@Ebikemotorcentre Pleased to read that. Do you have a reference for the recommended grease. Much appreciated.

[@iTCXtreme]

😊👍👍👍

[@thechodfather]

Dont ever buy impulse motor - . I love the kalkhoff bike but im on my 3 rd impulse 2/2.1 motor , they seem to fail around 2000 miles. (in fact im ready to send to performance bearings) as the only other way to get fixed is to pay for exchange motor to an aftermarket ebike company in Germany. Derby cycles/kalkhoff were never helpful. knowing full well their motors are badly designed and destined to fail Ps thankyou pete what a great company you have set up

[@Ebikemotorcentre]

Thank you for the kind words at the end. Just for the record, we have identified the main reasons for failure on these motors and can repair / greatly extend the life of the Impulse motors.

[@baztudd]

Guess where my bikes going

[@hpolig]

You said you have about 80% customers outside the UK, mainly in Europe. How does the Brexit Bullshit affect you?

[@danimayb]

It just means possible VAT/Handling costs, If your precious expensive motor needs work, And it will cost a fortune to replace, Then you won't have a problem paying these fees on your postage.. You'll still save a fortune over replacing the motor.. Right?
