Support for ebike with Shimano EP-8

Hi, I would request a support for ebike with Shimano EP-8.

There is a BLE connection possible, but no useful data.

The same information as E-Tube Ride would be nice, like speed, cadence, battery, power etc.

Thanks

Andy

To do this, Shimano must release the data via an interface. As far as I know, Shimano only works with Garmin. You can ask Shimano.

For me, the battery level in % would be one of the most important values. Have already searched in forums, because I wanted to switch the profile via Tasker. But so far I could not find a hint so that you can access the data.

Hi all,

As I don't have a display on my ebike (ep801 motor) I needed to have at least some parameters of my ebike visible while using Locus Maps, so I found an app on the android play store - ST RIDE. It was quite good with the options it had, but (for me at least) the split screen option didn't work, so I contacted the developer and he quickly fixed it.

I use a split screen 1/3 to 2/3 and my 2 own schemes where I have 6 parameters and with having 4 cells I can just slide it up or down with my finger. This way I can always see the mode I'm in and the battery level (%). I can also use 6 cells at the same time and they are still perfectly readable. The screen is 6.67".

It's not bad in my opinion, so I'll just leave a heads up here :)

Many thanks for that post, most helpful as I want to see percentage battery remaining etc. Can you explain how you are able to see LocusMaps as the other part of the display, rather than the default map.

Thanks

David

Please ignore my earlier post - just learned how to use split screen on Android. It’s only taken be a decade or two to discover it!

Hi, thanks for supporting e-bikes. It works perfectly with my EP8. The version log mentions extended e-bike telemetry, like remaining range. Is this available for Shimano systems?
