Our total system engineering approach means that the SHIMANO ecosystem is not only offering perfect harmony with SHIMANO components but extends to products of connected partners. We have a licensing development program on a contract basis which allows compatible battery manufacturers, wireless device manufactures and even bike brands to utilize Shimano proprietary communication profile to develop products compatible with Shimano products. This can create a more open and integrated product portfolio for both bike brands and end-user.

Compatible Battery Partners

Next to Shimano's own batteries there are other options from compatible battery partners

  • darfon
  • trendpower
  • bmz
  • Compatible batteries are being produced for designated models
  • Supports various e-bikes with diverse usage
  • Shimano battery service program offered (limited for selected program members, Darfon and Trend Power).

Compatible Batteries' Service Support Program

To optimize handling for dealers and bike brands, we introduce a battery service program to battery service program members (Darfon and Trend Power).

Dealers can expect the Shimano normal handling standards and won't have to handle "SHIMANO E-BIKE SYSTEMS" and battery claims respectively any more. Rather, dealers can unify their service contact and expect a faster turnaround, erasing handling complexities.
 

Bike brands can count on Shimano's world leading service support network in bicycle industry. Shimano service network will be handling the service cases for selected compatible batteries based on our structured and well-established practices, following all our rigorous policies, practices and standards, reducing the burden for the bike brands.
 

Compatible batteries will feature a special "SHIMANO E-BIKE SYSTEMS SERVICE" sticker and dealers will also be able to see the battery model number in Shimano's E-TUBE PROJECT to check it can be supported.
