SHIMANO STEPS - takes e-bikes to a new level
SHIMANO STEPS stands for SHIMANO Total Electric Power System. SHIMANO developed these components based on the idea of striving for perfect integration on the one hand, and taking into account that an e-bike should first and foremost remain a bicycle on the other. Handling and riding behavior should therefore be as comfortable and natural as possible, and the power delivery when pedaling should be balanced and fluid. With the SHIMANO STEPS concept, cyclists can combine the experience of nature with healthy training with exceptionally smooth motor support.
