Shimano Steps Characteristics; Assist Mode And Customization - Shimano Steps EP8 Instrucciones Originales

SHIMANO STEPS characteristics

• Pursuing the likeness of a bicycle
The light compact design of the drive unit reduces the operation noise and makes pedaling lighter so that you don't feel
the existence of a motor. Also, due to the shortening of the Q factor, the riding comfort has been improved and is more
bicycle-like.
• Improved assist traveling range
Reduced electric consumption while obtaining enough assist. It supports various riding methods.
• Automatic gear shifting (for internal electronic 8/5 speed gear shifting)
The sensor detects riding conditions such as climbing a hill in headwinds or riding in windless flatland, and further
improves riding via computer-controlled automatic gear shifting.
• Start mode (for internal electronic gear shifting)
This function automatically shifts down to the gear position that has been set in advance when stopped at a traffic light
and allows you to start in a light gear.
* If you gear shift into a gear that is lower than the gear position set while the bicycle is stopped, the gear will not shift
up automatically.

Assist mode and customization

You can select an assist mode for each particular application. The assist modes that can be selected differ according to the
