    Ebikemotion x35 speed limiter "fix"

    The X35 system totally changed a few years ago when they went to the smaller hub... and the cable design changed. Speedfun seems to be more responsive and to ship faster. What did you end up choosing?

    Ebikemotion x35 speed limiter "fix"

    My Volabike dongle finally started to die too... oddly it still works but causes this issue where the bike throws an 06 error... related to the PAS (Cadence) sensor. Replacing the PAS sensor fixed the issue for a bit but it would return. So I got a SpeedFun dongle and thus far its working well...

    Updating X35 Firmware Requires Visiting Local Dealer and Money

    Thanks for the update and information! I have the bike linked to my garmin head unit via the add-on ANT+ dongle so dont use the Oreba/Mahle app. Its unclear whether my occasional issues would be resolved with the new firmware. I dont have a LBS that is an Orbea dealer either but there one...

    Updating X35 Firmware Requires Visiting Local Dealer and Money

    Any ideas what the new firmware does or offers? I have an original X35 system on a Orbea M20i and now get a lot of code 6 (cadence/PAS sensor) errors. Turning the system off and back on usually clears the error for another 40-80 miles or so. Engineering mode on the consumer mobile app...

    Known Issues & Problems with Ebikemotion Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    I had an original X35 then got the new version when the flange broke on the original, and now notice this issue too. It happens when my cadence falls really low on hills, usually when I'm out of the saddle, I can feel the power cut out when I'm at the top of the pedal stroke. The problem goes...

    Bafang Ultra "Smooth" tune by Mike at Frey

    Interesting. The first time I observed this behavior was on a hot day (about 85F/29.5c). The throttle seems to work independently of pedaling... i.e I don't have to pedal with the throttle but if I do pedal, I feel the bike accelerating until the pedals spin out (I run out of gears and am...

    Bafang Ultra "Smooth" tune by Mike at Frey

    This may be a bit off topic, but I'm trying to understand what the throttle on my new Bafang M620 is doing (on a Biktrix Juggernaut Ultra Duo) and whether it can be improved with programming. My experience is that during a ride I can use the throttle for about 5 to 8 minutes and get a response...

    Ebikemotion x35 speed limiter "fix"

    LOL I'd think you'd want fewer magnets I believe... so the sensors think the wheel is rotating slower than it actually is (but realize that people who have removed magnets have found that the sensor then no longer works). Actually, I dont think the magnets do anything other than serve as a kind...

    Known Issues & Problems with Ebikemotion Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    Does anyone have experience with the Mahle warranty on this issue. My Orbea is a 2019 so is out of the typical 1 year warranty but only has about 15K miles on it. Mahle USA (actually the company that provides their customer service - QBP) says this is NOT a common problem, and therefore its...

    Known Issues & Problems with Orbea Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    Hey just wanted to post a report of an issue and a fix with the PAS sensor. Last fall, I was periodically losing power to the motor on an Orbea Gain M20i, then the motor stopped working entirely a month ago. No errors showed in the (Android) Mahle app, and that app showed speed from the wheel...

    GRX - is the Volabike speed dongle still available? I'm in the US and could pay by PayPal...

    GRX - is the Volabike speed dongle still available? I'm in the US and could pay by PayPal, other e-payment methods and email a FedEx or DHL shipping label or pay for postal shipment. (I am not certain why Volabike will not reply to inquiries directly!?)

    Known Issues & Problems with Ebikemotion Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    Yes... this is a 'known' problem with the first generation of extender batteries. (I say known... but I don't really know what caused the issue - I believe it is the board that is in the extender). I was able to get Orbea USA to give me a warranty replacement of the extender (that I processed...

    Does the Garmin e-bike Remote work with Ebikemotion equipped bikes?

    Doe anyone know what other Garmin head units permit the X35 Assist Level change functionality? Is it just the Edge 1030 and is that the 1030, 1030 Plus or both?

    Orbea Gain E-Road Bike

    Let us know how the GP5000s hold up. I'm still running higher pressure (around 100-105) but have now switched to tubeless with a Bontrager AW2 Hard-Case Lite in the rear (still have the Yksion Pro in the front). I dont notice a huge difference over having tubes inside, but the tires seems...

    Orbea Gain E-Road Bike

    What 700x28 tires are forum members finding success with? I'm riding a Gain M20i which came in the USA with Mavic Aksium Elite Disc UST tubeless ready wheels and Mavic Yksion Pro tires. I am riding with a tube around 100PSI in the rear. The rear only lasted like 1,000 miles so I tried a...

    Ebikemotion x35 speed limiter "fix"

    I agree and have made similar comments in an email to eBikeMotion. The way I've attempted to get around this limitation is by using the heart rate monitor option in the eBikeMotion app. If you get a Bluetooth HR monitor thats compatible with the app AND set the app to "Override recommended...

    Thanks Jaxx. I should have clarified that mine seems worse than when new and when I last changed tires in July (after about 4 months of use) (no flat that time, but had noticed a lot of tire wear probably from all the torque that the motor puts out). We know the marketing line from...
