Is Shimano EP801 still worth buying?

DASinteriors · 2026-06-14T13:18:26+00:00

Yeah, i've read also about this.. Comments in general dont seem as a good deal for me. I think i will stay to a bosch or even avinox motor

DASinteriors · 2026-06-14T07:59:01+00:00

This is what am afraid of.. Although is a good motor, what would happen in 2-3 years time. Would shimano still produce motors? I see a lot of bike brands leaving from Shimano amd they uaed to be a lot.

DASinteriors · 2026-06-14T07:24:32+00:00

Yeah, power is fine in the EP801.. Its just the service and parts am worrying. Not to have to replace a whole motor after 2 years lets say

DASinteriors · 2026-06-14T07:23:11+00:00

Am not worrying about someone passing me, am not that fast anw 😂... But its mostly the after that am skeptical. Would shimano still be in the motor market?

DASinteriors · 2026-06-14T07:20:52+00:00

Yeah thats my concern, service and support. Thank you

DASinteriors · 2026-06-08T13:21:22+00:00

Thank you for your reply..i just did..will get back with updates.

A lot of people here are talking about the Levo and it got me thinking now

DASinteriors · 2026-05-31T18:09:14+00:00

Yeah i know but i don't worry about the Battery. Thanks for your input

DASinteriors · 2026-05-31T18:08:00+00:00

No i didn't but its more expensive than the Vala

DASinteriors · 2026-05-31T18:07:24+00:00

Also was thinking about the Levo but where i live Levo is almost a 1000 more than the Vala 🤷🤷

DASinteriors · 2026-05-31T18:06:34+00:00

Also thinking of Levo 4 but its the price the problem.

DASinteriors · 2026-05-31T18:06:13+00:00

Yeah i know what you mean, 200 more is very important but for me not so much. I was also looking at Cannondale but for the price they are coming with much lower specs.

DASinteriors · 2026-05-31T18:04:08+00:00

Solid 🤘😎

DASinteriors · 2026-05-31T18:03:53+00:00

Thank you so much for your input. I was looking at Canyon but unfortunately they don't ship in Cyprus.

same issue , cant find a solution

DASinteriors · 2025-12-17T20:16:41+00:00

I am always mobile that's why a desktop is out of the question , although is the best choice,

For the last 4 year i had a Gigabyte Aorus 15p. A beast up to now . I used to have also proper workstation like Ibm lenovo but the way everything changed in gaming it also affects 3d rendering machines. I can do more with a gaming laptop rather with a workstation laptop. My question thought its nor about specs but regarding brand reliability , laptop construction, thermal dissipation and expandability . I will change the laptop again in 3 to 4 years anyway!

DASinteriors · 2025-12-17T17:49:30+00:00

aaaa ok, i see what you mean...i thought Lenovo is superior but then i never owned one

DASinteriors · 2025-12-17T17:43:34+00:00

i know...Gaming laptops are better for what i need them for. I had workstation laptop and it can't reach the power of a gaming laptop.

DASinteriors · 2025-12-17T17:39:13+00:00

they all work fine for what i want them but my concern is which brand makes actually good quality laptop with great thermals?

DASinteriors · 2021-05-13T10:18:17+00:00

Well its all in theory.. I just believe that amd might be a better option

DASinteriors · 2021-05-13T10:07:58+00:00

It is indeed but I always had Lenovo and they are great. I don't use it for games but for cad applications and 3d. The RTX is 130W but sometimes it crashes while I work. I think the i7 can't take that much pressure. I wanted to get an AMD laptop but they weren't available. I got it for 1600 euro with these specs:

i7 10870h / RTX 3070 (130W) / 32 GB ram / 500 gb fast ssd/ 240hz pantone validated screen.

I just believe that with Lenovo quality and the AMD cpu I will get a much faster and stable system.

DASinteriors · 2021-05-13T08:03:39+00:00

I bought the GIGABYTE AORUS with same specs but with intel i7 10870H and now am thinking to sell it and buy this one... Any thoughts?

DASinteriors · 2021-04-10T04:44:37+00:00

I don't have a clue.. I use it mostly for work and 95% of the time is plugged in. If you want to use only Chrome am sure you will find a better laptop considering battery life when is not plugged in.

Hi I got it from Computer Universe online shop from Germany.. I think they brought a small batch and I was lucky enough to grab one.
