Thanks for the review. Did you notice a rattling noise coming out of the motor? Rob from Rob rides noted that in his video and I think I could hear it in yours too. I'm btw absolutely with you on the power consumption riding with mates topic. The range of this EP8 seems to be great but on my last mate run I was able to get 75km and around 1400m of elevation out of my 700Wh Levo battery. I'd really love to try the EP8 though. Hopefully YT will implement it soon in the Decoy and present it on one of their roadshows.

Hi mate, yes mine does rattle but not as badly as Rob's. We actually had a quick chat about it this morning and his unit does seem to have a more pronounced rattle than mine.

I think you are placing too much trust in the battery bar display. The Bosch also uses a 5 bar display. It takes miles to use I bar but as soon as you are past 2 bars use the other 3 go pretty quickly. I interpret what you experienced as exactly the same. In general a 630 battery should give a bout 40km range with a bit in reserve.

E8000 is still a really good motor. How on do you manage 90km though without using Eco? how much climbing are you doing? I also ride in the Peaks and couldn't imagine getting 90km even from 2 batteries.

Beside software problem ,error messages ,have they recall or fix all the noise in the bottom motor rattling due to manufacturer /metal fatigue as they said?I think reliability is really in question even though this motor is very quiet.They should have tested out all these problem before releasing the bike.

Just for some perspective, from a dirt biker, the E-bikes are basically silent, my KTM, makes considerably more noise just sitting still. With my EP8 motor on my Husqvarna it basically just has a slight whine that lets you know it is working properly.

further to range discussion: your weight. lighter riders get more range. outside temp and starting battery temp. subfreezing, shorter range. starting with a cold battery shorter range.

Hi, yes there is some rattling. It's less than the Bosch but there is something there. On the pretty fast and technical terrain I have at my local, you don't notice it, but you do notice on some rocky paths or cobbled roads when transitioning to the next trail.
