This is a fantastic video of a deliveroo and Uber eats rider using an Eskuta.

Nice bike as well even though it does have the usual white wire that you can disconnect to make it go much faster.

it is his shitmano e8000 motor but getting close to when they implode mileage wise 6-10.000km as bearings wear out and destroy the metal gears.

if fkn Madison wont sell motors for bikes with dead motors out of warranty they are not fit for purpose and the worst out of all of them and unfixable crap.

the bike is just not worth anything 5k down the drain :oops:

he destroyed one wheel hub the new one is now also fooked because there shitmano needs new cassette as well it is just money down the drain if he cant get a new motor.

the new ep8 will fit but fkn good luck getting one of those and not much better from what i have read so dont buy any fkn bike with a shitmano motor

Can he get a BB (plus a bit of bike frame) cut off from a donor bike welded into the space? :D Then fit a Bafang mid drive? Or hub?

he has 2 options replace the motor he has or upgrade it and get bloody rid of it or it will be hung on his wall with a broken motor until he is dead.

it also has a carbon front triangle and it will crack over time as rides it like a fkn kangaroo :rolleyes:

and the ep8 makes a clanking noise o_O

he could go and get it just there is no way to service them so no matter what he gets it will fail and another grand down the drain.

it could last 15.000km or might only get 2000km but none of them will have warranty.

he had a focus jam last bike and that had a e7000 motor with the pcb glued to the fkn case so again cant service it and knows peter wont touch these motors out the frying pan in to the volcano :rolleyes:

Is that why they're called Shimano "Steps" and not Shimano Pedals? Walking the bike is free.
