    Pressure sensors on the valves... No. Do it properly, having it on your phone, christ. Nice to see Shimano getting a look in on a high end bike like this. The new Bosche stuff isn't as good as the OG bits as they started to cheap out on the components. I do like what ever they use in the Specialized though, they seem to be bullet proof but I'm sure milage varies.

      believe it or not, not a single motor manufacturer is flawless, i work for one of the biggest bike retailer in germany and for the past five years, most brands we had send in for maintenance were actually brose and bosch. bosch ofc since most bikes run it and brose had a really bad time during covid. not a lot problems with the ep8, just so you know. also on the lightweight side, TQ and Fazua didnt even work when first shipped they needed an update right of the bat.

    That Shamara motor completely sucks. First of all there’s no zero Kayden support. Horrible. Secondly, it doesn’t feel natural like the boss of the Yamaha do. It’s also just a throw away and not repairable at all. I don’t know why anybody buys those bikes with Simone motors?
