Shimano Steps City E6100
Charlie McCormick
Shimano's new street motor system is almost 1/2 a pound lighter than the 6000 series, and 20% more efficient - so you can expect up to a 50 mile range from the 418 watt hour battery. They have narrowed the width of the motor (q factor) for better cornering clearance, and made it even quieter than the original. Delivers an output torque of 60Nm for solid climbing and quick acceleration, and up to 500 watts of motor power - putting the new Steps motor in contention with Bosch and Brose. Controls and display have also been updated.
