SHIMANO EP8 makes assist modes simple, practical and personal. Simply switch between modes, activate the new, refined intelligent walk assist mode, or select highly customisable settings. Get the right power at the right time, with rider-friendly tuning on the fly. It’s all at the tip of your fingers!
To choose between OFF, ECO, TRAIL and BOOST, simply use the top and bottom buttons on the switch unit to scroll through the modes.
To activate walk assist, press and hold the bottom button on the switch unit. When ‘WALK’ appears on the display, release the button and then press and hold it again to select. To exit walk assist mode, press the top button on the switch unit.
The E-TUBE PROJECT app allows you to set up two custom assist profiles which can then be selected on the bike.
Enter the menu by holding down the function button on the display or simultaneously holding down the top and bottom buttons on the switch unit. Once the menu appears, navigate to ‘ASSIST CUSTOMIZE’ and enter by pressing the function button on the display. Select ‘PROFILE 1’ or ‘PROFILE 2’ by pressing the function button again.
If you need another assist mode, this time for technical questions or trouble shooting, don’t forget that Shimano Service Centres are there to help!
