SHIMANO STEPS
Carefully crafted over a century, built on cycling history
SERIES LINE-UP
Whether you’re young or old, a city commuter, busy parent,sporty, adventurous, or simply ride for pure pleasure, we have the perfect Shimano e-bike system to energize your lifestyle.
Shimano original assist algorithms are developed and improved based on rider experiences and desires. SHIMANO STEPS relies on the combination of its sensors, drive unit tuning and efficient pedaling mechanics to deliver a riding experience that is both highly sophisticated and intuitive at the same time.
Real-time riding data from the torque, cadence, and speed sensors are analyzed to detect the optimal assist for every moment. Automatically-applied assist output characteristics (Powerful and Natural) make the most of every pedal stroke and battery charge. The optimal amount of support provided at the right time also reduces harsh and unnatural surges of power, keeps pedaling smooth, and supports a more natural cycling experience in any environment.
