Shimano EP801 drive system

THE SHIMANO EP801 ENGINE

EP801 Drive Unit

The new Shimano EP801 motor takes e-biking to an even higher level. This new Shimano unit maximizes motor performance already at a rider input of 100 watts. Additionally, the motor features more precise sensors and skillfully compensates for cadence fluctuations. From a cadence of 70 revolutions per minute, the motor delivers full power, which is maintained even at over 100 revolutions. With an impressive 85 Nm of torque and a slight increase of about 5 Nm in testing, the new EP801 remains as powerful as ever. The motor also supports CAN-bus and ACC communication, such as Di2 or other compatible shifting systems, as well as communication with Generation 2 batteries (not compatible with Generation 1). The motor's high-quality sensor system even allows relaxed riders with a power output of 100 watts to make optimal use of it. This is due to the impressive maximum amplification of 410%, which provides more speed on climbs and unique acceleration at high cadences, enabling optimal acceleration out of corners.

Battery
More is not possible: With the new 726 Wh battery you will have energy for every adventure. Thanks to the new 21700 cells architekur it is possible at a much lower weight - only 3.8kg - to enable a power of 726 Wh. Well secured, the battery is also in demanding terrain safely and beautifully integrated into the down tube. The easily removable battery can be charged both on the bike and directly on the battery. For car transport, anti-theft, easier handling or occasional cycling without support, the battery can also be permanently removed. The down tube can still be locked with the new high-quality aluminum cover.

SHIMANO EP801 E-Motor

Don't let the size or looks fool you. This slim, narrow and flat drive unit offers enough power to easily take the rider up the next climb. With its compact and integrated design, it also provides ample ground clearance when heading into the more technical sections of a trail. Despite its power, the EP8 system acts almost silently. So the driver can enjoy the peace and quiet in nature without being greatly distracted.
Thanks to the heat-conducting magnesium materials and the completely redesigned motor housing, rising temperatures on climbs do not affect performance. This means that the maximum torque of the EP801 drive unit is available to the rider for a longer period of time. Heat exchange is also aided by the larger surface area

  • Lightweight and better handling
  • Direct ride feel, especially at speeds above 25 km/h
  • High and controllable power for added safety
