Hello mate, how do you remove the Bosch plastic plate? Cheers

😃So nice to see my exact same bike being serviced! Great video! I also put some dielectric grease on the battery terminal and charger port.

A Bosch Gen4 version of this would be good

Thank you. That's great content.

One option instead of putting the bike on the ground to remove the spider would be to use a chainwhip on the front chainring, just like removing a cassette...

As others have stated, A Bosch CX Gen4 equivalent would be welcomed!

Please do a comprehensive guide on servicing specialized gen2 brose motor.

Just a heads up Screws are J.I.S (Japanese international standard) on Shimano and Yamaha Not Philips or pozidrive It’s worth buying jis screwdrivers you will feel how well they fit the heads and don’t round or want to slip out .

Need one for the bosch systems please.

What maintenance stand you using as my park tool 9.3 maintenance stand won’t take me ebike falls over

Bosch CX Performance please (on a Trek Rail would be even better).

could you look at the BAFANG M620 please

Hummm... I couldn't be able to remove my chain twice. When I did it in the begining of the process, it didn't come back to be removed again. Awkward... It should be some problem with my bike... lol Great video, thanks !

I wash down my ebike once a week. That keeps everything nice and clean. I tear down and clean the entire bike every 3000 miles. No problems at all after 6000 and two years of riding.

A bit biased towards Shimano eh chaps? :/ Can you do one for the Bosch Performance Line CX soon please, as a LOT of us are running those too. (Y)

Hi, whats the part numbers for the removal tool please 🙏

Haibike's Flyon 120nm motor, please. Thank's Chris!

bosch gen 4 next please.

Very gd is the Bosch 1 any different?

Never! Got my fathom 4 years ago 6k km of Life on trails. 3 years on My trance and 4.5k km and also on that e-bike never opened and cleaned inside.

You don't need to do this at all. I have a few e bikes. My oldest is a giant explore with 17k miles on the clock. It's 3.6 years old, and i have never gone near the electric motor. It's still running smoothly as silk. Why mess around when there's no need. My other bike is a giant revolt pro e. It has the ep8 motor. I wouldn't mess around with that either.

You don't need to remove the chain to begin, to remove the crank only to put the chain back on. Just skip that first step and then remove the chain after removing the crank.

I’ve had to hang up my giant E2 the cadence sensor bean broken for over a year only detects a small amount of cadence so hardly any power tried getting it fix . The motor made by Yamaha but the Yamaha sensor causes a error . Bike shops are useless take money off you to say they can’t fix it . They just want to sell a new motor £1000 fitted takes me 30 min £300 and charge full retail £700 for the motor Had it apart sent away still unfixed .I give up just stick to push bike . In my experience when e bikes are out of warranty it’s ticking costly repaired ahead . Maybe one day I buy a new one .

Corrosion protection and then grease? Grease, especially that much, is already corrosion protection.

Or just get bike shop to do it

lubricating shimano motors

Bosch performance line cx on a Trek Rail Please

If it ain’t broke …Don’t fix it ..

In hindsight, that can sometimes be good advice! 😅 But it's always worth giving your motor a good service! 👍

EO1O EO10 E010 Only a matter of time .

top tip if you open that motor up and change a bearing the software sees it has been opend and bricks the motors and thats on all of them, they can not be fixed buy a 3rd party!

No, that's not true. To clarify...there are many models you can work on. And some have the brick feature.

This isn’t a motor deep clean is it? It’s a front chain-set deep clean. There’s no evidence that undoing the connections to the motor has any benefit and certainly risks damage, even with the correct tool and some watching this will foolishly try without the tool. I certainly support the front chain-set deep clean. And removing the grit, dirt and small stones that accumulate near the connections is also worth regular careful effort - beware damaging the threads of the small screws. Undoing the electrical connections when removing the dirt and little stones just because they are right there in front of you is genuinely foolish unless there is evidence there is moisture or water in them or they appear loose for some reason. I’m surprised to see this being recommended here. I also know Shimano / Maddison would definitely not recommend this under these circumstances. The connections are designed to be left alone unless it’s absolutely necessary to tamper with them - perhaps three or four times over the lifetime of the motor and electric harness. The front chain-set should be cleaned much more often.

I would agree. I think this was more EMTB needing a video while there was not much other content they could do...
