Japanese component manufacturer Shimano has released two new electric bicycle drive units in the form of the EP5 and EP5100. The brand says the new drive units, “represent an important step in a new era of e-bikes, empowering riders to explore further, connect more deeply and experience the natural joy of cycling”.
The new EP5 and EP5100 systems join Shimano’s existing EP8 and EP6 e-bike drive offerings aimed at mountain biking, while the EP6100 and E5000 systems are better suited for urban commuting and commuting.
Commuting e-bikes and urban mobility are increasingly terms that go hand in hand with more people turning to e-bikes as a solution for getting around town and getting to work. It seems that Shimano has targeted its latest drive units specifically in this corner of the cycling community.
