November 27, 2020 - Ride a Shimano E5000-equipped e-bike? Find out how you can add more punch to your urban commutes, shopping and day trips.
Shimano’s E5000 drive unit comes pre-loaded with Comfort power-assist and three combo modes – Eco | Normal | High. Ideal for personalising your riding experience and giving you a gentle boost whenever you need one.
From today, you can now add our brand-new power-assist – Sportive – simply by upgrading the Shimano E-TUBE app on your smartphone.
In less than a minute, you can add even more oomph to your daily journeys – whether that’s cycling up hills or powering away from traffic lights.
No, you won’t be able to exceed the 15.5mph speed limit. But you will experience:
