Shimano Steps E8000 (2019) - eBike motor test

Спорт

Here's my review of the Shimano Steps E8000 (250W). It was introduced in 2017, and several competitors have updated their motors since. But the E8000 is still one of the best motors.

    This motor is awesome. I have it on my e mtb bike for two years now without single issue. Used for heavy freeriding on mud , rocks even at snow. :) And i am heavy rider at 92 kg.

    Hi, love the review. What's the engagement for the pedal/chainring. Is it a roller/sprague clutch with instant engagement or is it like Bosch Gen 3 with 18 points of engagement, or is the chainring physically attached to the pedals? Thanks

    @@EMTBVideos It would certainly be interesting to know your thoughts. Looking forward to hearing them. I'm holding off buying until I see the Canyon 2020 eMTB range. I've had occasional use of a 2019 Neuron:ON 6.0 this year and have enjoyed the E8000 motor. I'm one of those who love Trail mode in the latest firmware. I find that it provides me with the most natural feel and control of power delivery.

    Hi EMTB, can you tell me about the reaction of the assistance while riding (not from full stop). The Yamaha PW-SE has only 2 points of contact and the PW-X has 4. Is the Shimano quick to engage when I hit the pedals to accelerate or go over a stone?

    @@EMTBVideos Great to hear your opinion. From your description it's the same behaviour like the PW-SE. I guess the new PW-X2 should be near to perfect, but I've ordered a Spectral ON 2019 and I hope will it be an even more fun bike than the Haibike AllMtn 5.0 that I've just sold.

    Hello, please, gotta get an Neuron 5.0 for my father, for start he will not be able to tweak all its settings in short run, what would be the most reliable seetings he can enjoy his ride? Hes on the older side, so he will ride most likely just to enjoy scenery and other light riding. Trail mode high, boost mode low? Where should he stayed at, trail mode? All things considered, most likely range..? Thank you very much! Keep it up! 😊

    Informative video . . . Thanks. Have you/will you test the "new" Shimano Steps E6100M? To my knowledge the E6100M is a 2021 variant of the E6100 which is a street ebike motor. It is speced on the Motobecane www.motobecane.com/ebikes/hale29.html I was wondering if this motor has enough grunt for your trails which are like the trails I ride in Colorado . . . rocky.

    After looking a Brose Borch and Shimano they all have there problems water ingerss in the Borch and Brose however the Brose is quieter with Shamano being rathere noisey, Why can't the isues just be resolved instead of faffing about,, I refuse to buy one till the issues are resolved. These are not cheap items so companies need to get there acts together.

    Yes, you could spend thousands of dollars on an eBike kzread.infoUgkxUiL0GnyDjP32RJdd660sP8mZk4CRLTCJ and get something much higher quality. However, if you're looking for a basic model to try out eBiking this is a great choice. The assembly is easy as far as bikes go (took about an hour for me to do, I'm not an expert). All tools needed are included. I added the plastic mud guards you see and a more comfortable seat. The other reviews are correct that you're probably going to want a better seat (Giddy Up! Bike Seat is what I got - super comfortable). The battery easily handles a 2-4 hour ride if you add some of your own pedal power. I haven't even gotten it up to top speed yet - it is very fast. Components are not top of the line, but decent for the price and work just fine. It works great on dirt roads and singletrack and pavement although too heavy to do tricks or any serious technical mountain biking. I'm looking forward to using it a lot over the summer. Tons of fun!
