Shimano e8000 eBike Motor: Closer Look

[@scaredyfish]

I actually wanted to see what was inside, like the thumbnail showed!

[@youmitiaminourakeeperofair]

Привет. Купил б.у. рабочий мотор SHIMANO STEPS е6100. Решил его смазать заново. Увидел смещение магнита. Поставил его на место. Работать будет после этого?

[@ElectricBikeReview]

This is a fantastic video Mikey! I love your stuff, fun and very informative :D

[@ramangry8392]

i have that motor on a fullsupension e bike and i can say that this engine is very reliable driven everywhere from mud stones rocks even crossing small streams with e bike awesome job with this engine

[@MisterPikol]

Yeah but what is the peak watt output ?

[@Threadexpress]

Thanks for the video Mike - I wish you would show more close up details of the motor...as far as I can see, it has smaller gears (that would be a lighter but weaker design) with 3 pairs rather than the usual 2...?...and you have the main output gear removed in this video..?... Cheers Cliff

Inside the Shimano e800 motor .. !...

[@Peakwanderer]

change this title to system overview, then use this title for an actual closer look! owner changeable bottom bracket bearings on these motors really should be standard, have to say the bearings look a bit weedy (small)

[@yannick9076]

Hi, I have a E-Mtb from Ridley, elykx a I have it all costumized xtr brakes derailleur shifter,new xt discs and pedals. I have it tuned up with an app and my top speed is about 48kmh. The cassette in the back is at its lowest right now (11). I have the chainring at 38t right now and it comes from 34t so my question is should I upgrade it to 42 or is that gonna f*ck up the motor.

[@peteinozi]

Could you please tell me if there is a video on how to fit new bearings in to the bottom bracket ? thanks

[@BlueMonkeyBicycles]

With this motor?

[@peteinozi]

@@BlueMonkeyBicycles Thanks for your reply . Yes this motor , the Shimano e8000 .

[@BlueMonkeyBicycles]

Shimano had a wealth of training and instructional videos that are accessible to bike shops. I forgot what is called... Shimano tech... something... If there's no store near you, You might be able to swindle Shimano into thinking you are a bike shop, and you can login and fine what you need.

[@claudescott9261]

I read it is the loudess. Is it loud at the 3 levels or mostly when using near max assist? Thanks

[@BlueMonkeyBicycles]

The loudest point is after the system backs off a bit. Cresting a hill

[@petealder9389]

I have a trailer and panniers and carry about 120 litres of gear. I specifically need high torgue. I am tempted to go for the Haibike 120 N torque Flyon. Any thoughts.

[@BlueMonkeyBicycles]

What country are you in?

[@slo007]

Would like to understand the motor behaviour when the battery runs out. Can I still ride the bike?

[@BlueMonkeyBicycles]

Yep

[@AndreLuiz-sg1hn]

What means Q FACTOR and MAX OUTPUT?

[@robertmasi22]

Hi Mikey how does the Asian competitors like bafang stack up in the mid drive market

[@robertmasi22]

Thanks Mikey Bafang is quite popular in Australia I have a Bafang Max drive on my mountain bike works quite well. I had a 500 Watt Dapu rear hub drive on my previous bike and I much prefer the mid drive. Any chance of comparing it to the other competitors to see how they compare

[@robertmasi22]

Mike Volton bikes use the Bafang Max Drive

[@robertmasi22]

That would be great hope you can get one looking forward to it. By the way love your videos very informative all the way from Australia.

[@2wheelsonline]

Do you not know of the Specialized Mission Control app that does the same as the Shimano app but even better! I've used both. Well, I tried to use the Shimano app on a Focus Jam2 I tested but it wouldn't connect using my Android device. I've heard it works using an Iphone. I loved the feel of the Shimano motor but the lack of customisation with the app stops me buying one at the moment. A Specialized bike with the Brose motor and using the Mission Control app is what I am tempted to buy at present. Love the info on the motors! Hi 5!

[@2wheelsonline]

I see what you mean now as well. I watched the Brose video before this one.

[@krzysztofkarkoszka9181]

I use Samsung S5 neo and note 4 with android 6 no problems with e tube

[@thatalaskaguy]

Why does your video thumbnail show a disassembled Steps motor yet nothing like that is featured in your video? That was 5 minutes and 37 seconds of life I won’t be getting back.

Sounds good

[@mg_uve]

I have a shimano e8000. I changed the bluetooth password and now I don't remember it. Is it possible to reset the password? Shimano doesn't answer me.

[@BlueMonkeyBicycles]

Have you connected it to the eTube app? If that doesn't have a provision for changing the password, a local shop that has access to diagnostic software would be another choice. After that.... shucks.... if it doesn't kick you out after too many attempts, pay a kid $20 to keep trying every password there is until he gets in.

[@TRAUMATIZE]

250w? Whats with these low watt motors?

[@Erafune]

That's the limit before they're classified as a light motorcycle in europe.

[@krzysztofkarkoszka9181]

250 W is OK but speed linitet to 25 mph is very stupid regulation so in redult regular cheap bikes are faster on flat roads.

[@sodalitia]

@@krzysztofkarkoszka9181 It's 25 kph and 15 mph.

[@krzysztofkarkoszka9181]

[@melnickharris1177]

E tube app never been able to connect to it the app is crap

[@johnhamilton4992]

melnick Harris : had the exact same problem. They might have recently changed the app because I finally got it to work.

[@Abundanthealthcoach]

Lost me at 250W

[@ed0078]

Not really a closer look but rather just a commercial

[@rw7269]

Anybody deristrcted one ?

[@BlueMonkeyBicycles]

I'm sure someone has, but this motor isn't exactly a powerhouse to begin with

[@linoveiga]

Watched this useless video and never saw the motor.

[@BlueMonkeyBicycles]

read this useless comment and never saw the point.

[@redtobertshateshandles]

Clickbait.

[@dinurumega2160]

@@BlueMonkeyBicycles he is right tho, you just stated facts from the internet that anyone could read in about 5 minutes, which i just did when i bought my ebike. So yeah , your video was pointless, sorry not sorry.

[@martysmith2422]

250W is laughably low. And Im sure this thing costs over a grand.....

[@BlueMonkeyBicycles]

How many mega pixels is your camera?

[@martysmith2422]

@@BlueMonkeyBicycles Not sure, probably around 5. Thats an odd question lol

[@rickc2222]

I had a "1000w" direct drive rear hub motor on a fat bike. Now I have the Shimano steps e8000 - because it works with your gears it will out climb and out torque the "1000w" direct drive hands down by a massive margin. you cannot go by watts, its meaningless in this application.

[@frankhuber9912]

250W is pathetic for a cargo bike. It's not gonna haul four or five hundred pounds up a hill with any authority. I have the 48V 1000w ERAD (Bafang variant) on a Yuba Mundo, I do it with ease.

[@BlueMonkeyBicycles]

Have you tried one of these motors?

[@seakayak4425]

Two motors in 6000 miles nah not so awesome
