SHIMANO STEPS EP801
Launched in 2023, the new EP801 is the most powerful e-bike kit from Japanese brand Shimano, delivering up to 85 Nm of torque and featuring a magnesium body and therefore 300g less weight compared to the EP6 version. It has a large 2.8″ full-colour display and offers up to 15 levels in total, in addition to the standard three ECO / TRAIL / BOOST assist modes, which you can set yourself via bluetooth connection and the E-Tube app on your smartphone. While the nominal motor power corresponds to a regulated 250 watts (350 watts in the US), the maximum power reaches up to 600 watts.

SHIMANO STEPS E6100
The basic drive unit we offer for many of our models is the tried and tested Shimano Steps E6100 set, commonly used for trekking bikes. Its power of up to 500 W (250 W nominal power) and up to 60 Nm torque is sufficient to conquer even very steep hills with your assistance. Together with the new Shimano battery with 630 Wh capacity, this set could cover a range of more than 200 km / 125 miles. And that makes for a pretty long ride!
E6100 e-assist kits are now 1000 EUR / USD cheaper. This actually makes the high-quality Shimano Steps E6100 a sort of basic and very affordable e-assist comparable in price to no-name retrofit motors. See our configurator to compare the price with other e-assist options, or go to see our Bikes in stock page to see what bikes and trikes are available immediately with this motor option.

BROSE Smag
BROSE is characterized above all by its very quiet operation, which was achieved thanks to the use of a belt for the final transmission inside the motor itself. The Smag has a torque of 90 Nm. What you will recognize at first glance is the larger and colorful 3.5″ display, which you will find in a familiar place for us right in your field of vision behind the engine between the cranks. BROSE motor requires significantly less force to engage, and this will be especially appreciated by physically weaker cyclists or people with disabilities. During start-ups, it is therefore not necessary to lean so much on the pedals for the engine to start helping, which is especially important when starting uphill.

Motors can be combined with following components:
Shimano Cues Di2
Electronic shifting combined with a classic derailleur and cassette, which also offers automatic shifting with AUTO SHIFT and FREE SHIFT functions. From now on, you don’t have to worry at all about whether you need to shift to a lighter or heavier gear, because the intelligent electronics do it for you. The cassette has 11 to 43 teeth and thus offers a range of 390%, plus LINKGLIDE technology which ensures longest possible chain and cassette lifespan, which is up to 3.9 times longer than other cassettes.
Shimano Nexus Inter 5E (only for Shimano motors)
A gearbox integrated in the rear hub, offering a 263 % range, specially designed for electric bikes to prevent problems with the massive combined torque coming from the rider’s feet and the motor. Thanks to the electronic shifting, you can change gears manually or enjoy the convenience of intelligent automatic shifting, savour the ride in itself and the beauty around you, not worrying about anything else. Another huge advantage is the option to change gears even when stationary, which applies to all the other integrated gearboxes anyway, such as Nexus, Rohloff and Pinion.
Enviolo 380 (formerly known as NuVinci)
A continuously variable (stepless) rear hub transmission, originally designed for industrial electric motors, so its use for electric bikes is, unsurprisingly, possibly the best choice. NuVinci will allow you to change gears even when shifting under power, that is when to motor is putting the power in and you will never have the feeling that it is under stress. Compared to the automatic Nexus Inter E5, the range of gears this option offers is larger by 1/3, that makes it 380 % that will allow you to get up even steeper hills under heavier loads.
Rohloff – 14 speed gear hub
in comparison with other shifting systems for electric bikes, the Rohloff offers you a massive gear range of 526 %. With this, you will able to get up any hill under any load. No steep part will pose a problem when moving off even if you have, for example, your huge canine friend behind you in a trailer. The Rohloff is simply the ultimate choice for extreme cyclists favouring electric bikes.
Shimano Sora 1×9, or Shimano Deore 1×10
Traditional shifters using a derailleur and a 11 to 34, or 11 to 36 tooth cassettes, they are the basic economical option we have on offer.
