SHIMANO motors
The SHIMANO motor consists of a SHIMANO STEPS E8000 motor, a battery with a 504Wh
capacity, a display unit and a shift lever. This motor is supplied with a SHIMANO 2A
charger.
The SHIMANO display and shift lever
The SHIMANO display consists of a screen and a button, which allow navigation through
the menus and validation of settings. It is connected to a SHIMANO shift lever consisting of
two buttons, which allow selection of the assistance level and navigation through the
menus.
The levels of assistance are set in the following ways: Foot/Off/Eco/Trail/Boost. At the start,
the system is set to Off. Pressing briefly on the buttons allows an increase or decrease to
the assistance level. To get to the Foot level, which corresponds with Walking Assistance,
press on the lower button continuously. Once in the Foot position, release the button and
press it again, in order to initiate Walking Assistance, which moves the bike forward.
Walking assistance must never be used while sitting on the bike. It should
only be used to assist the cyclist to push the bike under difficult
conditions, such as when ascending a hill, for example. Walking
assistance should only be used when both hands are free to hold the
handlebars and must not impair governance of the bike’s speed.
The SHIMANO battery
The SHIMANO battery can be fixed to its support by first inserting the bottom of the battery
and then pivoting it upwards, until the lock engages and it sits firmly in place.
Never leave the key in the lock for the battery.
Never force the battery’s support if you experience any unusual
resistance, as the system may have a setting, which perhaps requires
adjustment.
The SHIMANO motor
The SHIMANO motor develops a torque of 70Nm max. It has 3 levels of assistance:
Eco/Trail/Boost. Please refer to the SHIMANO documentation in order to use the correct
assistance for each of the levels.
During sustained and prolonged effort, the warming-up of the motor or of
the battery could cause a reduction in assistance, possibly even a
complete shutdown, to allow the system to cool.
Choose a spot shielded from the sun to park your bike, even for
temporary stops.
