Bro, try this next time: As you apply the electrical tape, stretch it as you stick it, kind hard to explain, like stick the first little bit like normal, and then stretch it a lot as you keep sticking it, it may change color a little bit, what this does is it turns the tape into a sort of elastic band as well, and it applies constant pressure just like an elastic band, then don't cut it with a scissor, instead stretch it so much that you actually tear it and in the same motion pass your finger over it so it sticks, that way it will never come undone. An electrician taught me that.

Thank you. I went for my first ride and was shocked when the motor decided it had helped me enough. So, straight to KZfaq. Yours was the third video I saw on the subject. Perfect solution. I used a ferrite Magnet 20x15x5. It works spinning the cranks, I'm about to go out and try it in the field. Thank you for your effort in sharing this simple work around.

@Studeo5150 2 жыл бұрын

. . . and it worked perfectly for 2 1/2 rides. Better than you could imagine to have all that power available. Brilliant to have the boost to escape traffic running at the speed limit !!! However, it stopped one hour away from my start with a tough return with threatening rain. Error EO14. Good honest ride back. I'm trying to fix it now. Maybe my cheaper magnet idea was not good enough.

@Studeo5150 2 жыл бұрын

A day later and finally back to normal. Sadly, for now, back to the original sensor setup. Grrr. It's not something I want to stay with at all. There's a lot of drag when you hit that 25kph. To get the thing working again, I had to space the sensor about 8mm closer to the magnet. Now, this was after trying more magnets on the crank, and even a stronger magnet on the original. It may well be that i did not have my magnet the right way around when I retried it after the initial failure. I am yet to sort out the polarity or power requirements for a magnet. Maybe, i'll just get the magnet that is closest to what Warren Harper suggested. Then I imagine I would have to replicate the polarity of the original magnet. The question remains as to why my initial setup failed. Maybe my magnet was too weak. Maybe the software picked up an issue with the cadence matching the input. Oh - the advice from Shimano, to fix E014, was to turn the crank clockwise, perhaps up to 100 times Shimano writes . . . I can only imagine they forgot to say "Clockwise when facing the chain side" - unless there's a default attitude that I am unaware of.

Levels of assist and you can set high/med./low in each one of those modes ! Also they have so many sensors at differing degrees of rotation that it is a incredibly responsive ride !!! Oh yeah, did I say Shim sucks almost as bad as Bosh firmware 🙄 E014 - Speed sensor may be installed in the wrong position Restrictions: No power assist while riding Remedy: Amend position of speed sensor and magnet unit, turn on power and rotate crank clockwise until error resolves.

@@Studeo5150 I’ve heard that a weaker magnet somewhat counterintuitively throws a larger magnetic field, so it may be worth trying a weaker rather than stronger magnet. A family member did this hack to his Bosch motor, still working well, but when tried on the shimano motor of his wife’s e bike, it bricked with E014 after only a couple of Kms, so not good. Guessing there is a monitor at work suggesting the motor should shut down (or that sort of diagnostic) in the event of constantly low rpm of the sensor magnet relative to the speed or power drain - wondering whether a diametrically opposed second magnet fixed onto an extended stick, itself fixed

The WARNING I wish I read in the comments before I tried this on my Whyte Coniston with Shimano Steps e5000. Like everyone else says - this worked a treat for the first 10km. After that, mid ride the motor stopped assisting and the screen showed E014. I tried everything I found online to clear this error, but nothing worked. I brought the brand new ebike back to the retailer for service and they weren't able to clear the error either and said because it indicates an attempt to deristrict the bike, my warranty was void - despite bringing it to them in original setup (without he magnets etc). I am still looking for a solution at the time of writing, the bike's been "bricked" for over two months now! From what I've read online since, it seems that Shimano has updated the firmware so that the system can detect when the crank rotations match the faked speed and produce the error

He filed the top of the exhaust port, ground down the cylinder head gasket face with grinding paste on a sheet of float glass and fitted a better exhaust. That little bike was so quick he was able to fit a bigger engine sprocket and get it over 45mph. Brakes were not so hot with stopping times measured on a calendar. But back then only Japanese bikes had decent brakes.

Benny Walker I have ridden bosch only in summer 2018, it felt like all the torque was only in high cadence zone 85-115rpm, also resistance after 25 was higher, that's why I have chosen shimano, it felt like torque range is in 55-110 rpm and resistance was lower, that was better for me. I know that now shimano e8000 is very old and there are newer ebike motors with lower resistance, more power, wider torque range, and in my opinion bosch will be more reliable after some time, but I don't know how easy and cheap is to unlock them. I think that newer shimano e7000 with lower power and lower resistance can also be unlocked for 35$ from the same app.

Thanks for sharing the hack, I have one question though, does this affect the motor in any way as in puts more strain or pressure on it? Thanks 👍🏻

You will find that if you raise your saddle height to get a full leg push, it will be a lot easier to pedal.

Just change the wheel size to 16 or 19" FOR 26" wheels in programing, and turn MPH to KPH. Your reading will still be close to accurate MPH and give you a higher top speed.

Update! Just finished a 14 mile ride in the Scottish Highlands with this done, didn't miss once, since chipped a friends bike in the shimano ep8 motor. His lasted a mile before it read 33pmh and cut its self off although he's doing around 8mph. Maybe the new motor can detect the change and cut power but on the shimano e8000 I've rode around 25 mile with this technique an so far so good 👍👌

I live in London so the speed restriction is annoying. I rent an ebike. I'm wondering if I do this will it blow the motor? Because if it won't then I am definitely doing it and then when I need to give it back just put it back to normal

@@jaynhsob3935 i have the SyncDrive Core, 50Nm (Yamaha). After three months my engine stopped working and I'll get a new one on guarantee soon. Not sure if this method is what ruined my engine, but it makes one think. I'll be looking for other tuning methods just to be sure next time. Maybe a chip of some kind.

This is GREAT! My MTB equipped with a Shimano DU-E7000 motor just went from pretty fun to mental. I’ve only had it for about a week and the 25km/h limiter was already starting to annoy me. As soon as I’d go any faster than 25km/h the motor would just stop, giving me the feeling that the bike was trying to push me backwards. And lets face it, 25km/h is where it starts to get fun to ride a bike like this. With this helpful little tweak I just managed to hit 45,5km/h, and doing around 40 for a sustained period is doable. All in all I’m very pleased, so thank you very much for sharing this little tweak. I just have one concern. Now I’m not entirely sure if this is true, but I suspect the electric motor is having to work quite a bit harder now, thus potentially shortening it’s lifespan. Could anybody elaborate on this? I’d hate to muck up the motor just for the sake of some extra speed. -update- As expected, this worked for about 35km before Shimano's latest software detected tampering, threw an e14 error and cut the electric motor. It was fun while it lasted, but unfortunately I had to revert to the factory setup to get the motor working again. Back to turtle speed now. :-(

Question: "latest software". Does that mean it updates or does that mean you have a newer model bike?

@Audioslaaf 2 жыл бұрын

@@katherinelangford981 Hi Katherine. It’s the software in the electric motor. Newer versions can detect tampering and will shut down the motor. There are ways to revert/downgrade to previous versions which do not do this, but I’m not entirely comfortable sharing them here. An internet search helped me fix it, something with an android app and “unlock” and stuff. Try it. :) P.S. it’s not allowed by law to do this, be safe. :)

@@Audioslaaf thanks for the info. I dont even have a bike at this point. Well I have 2 non powered bikes and I'm considering getting my motorcycle license actually but even getting 35 km/hr would get me to work 40km away in decent time. Of course I'm sure that takes quite a bit more power which is the next step in my figuring this all out. The range without spending $2500-3500 cdn in the bike. I'm thinking a model i can swap batteries out on mid ride of necessary. But all that is adding up to not a very economical option and just a cheap, decent motorcycle may actually be more suitable. But thank you for the info I'm going to keep researching might come across something I can work with.
