Shimano E-Bike Tuning – EP8, E8000, STEPS & More

The Shimano STEPS drive systems are among the most widely used mid-drive motors in the world. Known for their seamless power delivery and smart integration with Shimano shifting systems, they power a broad range of e-MTBs, city, and touring bikes.

Supported models include:

• EP8 series (DU-EP800, EP801, EP600)
• E8000 / E6100 / E5000
• E7000 / E6010

These systems are popular across brands like Cube, Merida, Ghost, Bulls, and others.

Currently, all available tuning options for Shimano are hardware-based modules that remove the 25 km/h (15.5 mph) speed limit. They are plug & play, reversible, and compatible with specific motor and firmware versions.

Important: Shimano has introduced strict anti-tuning measures in newer firmware versions, particularly for EP801 and EP600 systems. Please always check product compatibility before purchase.

As ebiketuning.com moves forward with a software-only tuning focus, we will continue to monitor the feasibility of software-based tuning for Shimano. If such a solution becomes available, it will be published here first.

Stay tuned – especially if you're using EP8 or newer STEPS models.
