Fantastic Video mate. Thank you! I just purchased an Azub with a Shimano EP8. How often are you seeing issues with Shimano motors, controllers and wiring? Any idea on how many miles people are putting on before service is needed on the motor? Thanks again for the consideration. Cheers!
@TheYorkshireBikeMechanic2 жыл бұрын
Him Thanks for watching, we dont get many errors or issues with the ep8, the motors are best left alone unless they become noisy, they dont need a service and are sealed, they are generally very robust, try not to jetwash.

Hi Dave, great video! I was amazed how easily you removed the lockring on the chainwheel, as they're supposed to be done up to 40Nm. I changed mine (factory fitted) recently, and had to hang on to the left hand pedal and then use a tremendous effort to undo it. Its odd that the Shimano tool, unlike the Park tool, doesn't have a hex fitting, is there a special "crows foot" to go onto a torque wrench for tightening? I wonder what the mileage was on that motor, and how you rate them for reliability, against the Bosch? Cheers....Pete

Hi there really would love to know how much roughly shimano would charge to rebuild the motor ? Or how much would a new one set you back? I have a focus jam 2 & love it so honestly dreading this day as I saved every penny to buy one second hand so wouldn’t have any warranty & tbh have it derestricted Would love to know cheers
@TheYorkshireBikeMechanic2 жыл бұрын
Hi David, thanks for watching.. What would happen if your motor developed a fault or became noisy. We would look at your motor to assess the problem. If it’s become really noisy we can rebuild it for you at a cost off £265.00 plus postage, if it’s not repairable we would send it to Shimano and ask for a cost to replace, the full replacement cost of a new motor is approx £900.00. To avoid this cost it’s best to have the motor rebuild as soon as the motor becomes noisy, hope that helps.
