Shimano EP801 Race Update - How Much More Power?

[@KiwiInGermanyMTB]

Its incredible how much content you guys are putting out now. You are probably the busiest MTB youtube channel. If you ever need a Journalist/Bike tester in Germany, I am keen as.

[@TheLoamWolf]

Thank you and yes. We are buried, under water and exhausted hahaha. But appreciate the offer and kind words. We’ll keep you in mind!

I have 1200 hard miles on my EP8. It’s not let me down yet. It’s got pretty good power very controllable the over run sucks besides that fucking pretty cool.

[@MTBGeordieDownSouth]

Been using this since the update came out as i have the service tool, it's great, thought it had got another boost for a minute there when i saw this !

[@lukenukem1164]

Great, I've got the ancient steam powered ep8.

[@TheLoamWolf]

Hahaha. Still better than wooden legs though right?!

[@lukenukem1164]

@TheLoamWolf for sure 😄

[@jayjavi00]

Why did shimano just give up on the ep800. 2 year old motor is already obsolete 😢

[@AdventureAwaits4u]

Rocky Mountain has 700 watt output and 108 Nm. If you want the most powerful class 1 E bike in America, this is your bike. They are awesome too!

[@OscarHernandez-xx2je]

Very cool. Can’t wait

[@cleggycyclist]

wait? it has been released ages ago

[@ridemx323]

Battery consumption has entered the chat

[@link6032]

why is this video so late ?, it's all out and you can do all this on the app since last month - great update either way !

[@TheLoamWolf]

Yeah we know… sorry about that. We were eyeball deep in our last shootout series and other big projects. Sadly we’ve got a small crew and limited time/budget to work with and we’re doing our best to keep up.

ShimaNO! There endeth the ebike motor lesson.

[@Bierce88]

I got a Repeater with a ep8 only a year old, and I completely got shafted. Why cant shimmano push out a updated for older motors they all use the same app.

[@ktmkirby]

What I want to know is can I get my 23 Orbea Rise upgraded to 85NM and still be under warranty?

[@porroco]

Yeti should update that 8 years old ebike, i own that ebike and want to replace it for a modern ebike with MX config new motor and more range

[@euanbegbie]

We want less weight, not more power

[@bmemtb6619]

Personally I was not impressed with the EP 801. It did have the power i wanted while it lasted. But I went threw 3 motors in 4 months. all had less than 500 miles on them two had less than 300. They all 3 suffered from the same problem. E-914. After that many problems i sent the bike back to Propain for a refund. Horrible Experience all together. Every ride I was worried I would be pushing my bike out of the woods.

[@Lmfour0six]

Hey nick, my ep8 died after 500 miles and less than 2 years. Your warranty department is shit and I can't get any help

[@TheLoamWolf]

Sorry to hear that. Did you buy the bike through a bike shop or consumer direct brand? The shop or brand should definitely be going to bat for you and helping escalate the warranty or inspection process.

[@Lmfour0six]

Local shop has done everything to help. Unfortunately, shimano is not. Yeti 160e

[@ertman]

Over run should be banned.

[@danielpatino81]

The problem with Shimano is not really power the biggest problem is RELIABILITY!!!!!! Those shimano motors are nothing but problems!!!

[@MTBGeordieDownSouth]

No problems here
