SHIMANO STEPS COMPONENTS

The E8000 motor unit sits at the very top of the STePS motor hierarchy. The unit is very much aimed at the performance orientated mountain biker as well as at the trekking biker with more sporty ambitions. Delivering an impressive maximum torque of 70 Nm and a maximum power output of 500 W, the E8000 fits perfectly into our test and award-winning bikes like the eONE-SIXTY, the eONE-TWENTY or the top eSPRESSO models. The extremely low weight and the compact size give our designers the opportunity to integrate the motor into the overall concept of the bike perfectly.

The new performance orientated motor with slightly less power than its bigger brother, the E8000, but at a more affordable price and still packed with lots of top end features. Perfectly tunable via Shimano’s e-tube project app, the E7000 delivers 60 Nm of power and features a Hollowtech II axle as well as a double sealed body for extra protection against water and dirt. The E7000 runs, similarly as the other STePS units, completely drag free in case you decide to ride your bike without assistance or when you should run out of battery on the way home from the trails.

Another new motor in the 2019 STePS line-up is the trekking and city focused E6100 unit. Delivering an impressive 60 Nm which is specifically tuned to the needs and requirements of trekking and city E-bikes. The compact size of the unit enables a perfect integration of the motor into the frame while keeping a strong focus on the riding characteristics and the overall stiffness of the chassis – very important in particular when creating wave low step through frames. The E6100 features Hollowtech II axle technology.

The new entry level of the Shimano STePS motors and the chance of offering smooth, reliable and easy to operate STePS technology at a lower price level. The compact, super quiet and lightweight unit offers up to 40 Nm of torque and is perfect for the city and trekking usage. The ability to combine the motor with a variety of different battery and display options allows us to perfectly fit the motor into the overall concept or the bike.
