LTWOO ER9 & ERX - Electronic groepsets

[Avalius]

Received these two pictures from the new ER9 groupset from 80 designer store. Not the best quality and not very visual but clearly shows the new charging design here
With the service 80 designer store is giving it's a no brainer with coupons. Atleast in my opinion, enjoying my two er9 setups more than my di2 setup.

If you don't mind me asking, what was your final price with all discounts and savings and shipping applied?

You're in the US, right? currently, can't get er9 / erx groups shipped to europe because of shipping / EU regulations (EU Customs Duty Exemption at 150 eur) shenanigans.

Hi guys, I got the new eRX gen 3 (type c charging)

I've used XTAR 1200mah batteries for it. My first shakedown ride was a 4 hour 130km cycle and about 3.5h into the ride it went flat/stopped working. When I left for the ride it said it had 90% battery.

When I plugged back in after the ride the groupset came back to life it said it had like 80% left.

Any ideas what might of happened here? Does the battery level thing need time to calibrate?

I'm from Belgium. Didn't order at this time but ordered a set two months ago came in fine. Just had to pay import taxes at border.

Would you mind checking if you can order now? go all the way to "pay" page, then ofc dont press pay. what happens is that at the last page, i get a >150 eur error related message. afaik, the issue wasnt there a few weeks ago.

I ordered er9 groupset from 80 desinger store about 20 minutes ago.
At least when shipped in Finland there’s no issues with ordering.

just checked it. 523$ in the basket and 439$ after price adjustment and shipping to Germany. No warning what so ever.

Did you order the V3 ER9? I'm thinking of pulling the trigger as well. Not that I need it right now, but there's a good chance I won't have access to the groupset in the next few months.

Ordered an ER9 groupset from here in the US a few days ago, from the LTWOO factory store on AliE. Price hasn't changed since I ordered, supposed to be version 3 according to support agent, $459.

Interesting, thanks guys! indeed, to germany using 80 store, you get a price adjustment and the price makes sense. switch to france, and they charge an extra 150+ eur for shipping: doesnt make sense. Using a different store that advertises free shipping to european countries, the same problem with the 150 threshold still shows up at the last minute.
Didnt try a finland address.
Endlessly confusing - i'm building bikes in 3 different countries atm.

VAT can't be excluded on Aliexpress for France. So lame.

I notice those batteries that get marked with higher capacity discharge prematurely. I've since switched to 800mah 3.7v 50mm height batteries with tab. Since then, no issues with battery drain. It's also a good idea not to trust the battery gauge and charge it overnight just to be safe. A sure method is to use an external charger to charge fully and then install the batteries. That way you know the batteries are good to go and every other charge after will just top off the power.

Hmm interesting thanks. I thought the XTAR 1200s would be good quality since I'd seen people had good performance out of the XTAR 800s.

With LTwoo electronic, it's best just to stick with the recommended 800mah batteries. I'd also clean both charging port and battery cable with a cotton swab if you notice dirt.

I just received my new eRX from 80 Designer Store. The new shifter ergonomic is such an improvement, in my opinion. It's actually heavier than the old eR9 by almost 15gr for each shifter. I'll take the 15gr penalty for improved comfort. Kind of curious how the new eR9 would weigh compared to the new eRX. It seems like an odd choice if eR9 ends up being lighter than the eRX.

I can confirm that the new shifter can be paired with my other eR9 RD and FD. It's funny I can pair two different sets of shifter for one RD and FD, at the same time.
