Shimano STEPS E6100
The Shimano STePS E6100 central motor is one of the lightest central motors on the market with a weight of 2.88 kg. Smart assistance provides a very natural riding experience. The motor is designed primarily for travel and sport e-bikes. The motor also offers a Walk Assist mode, which provides powerful assistance when walking the bicycle across uneven terrain such as rocky areas or pushing uphill.
The drive unit has seen improvments both inside and out. The shape duplicates that of the compact and lightweight e-MTB (E8000) for increased durablity and better power transfer. These tweaks combined reduce drag to give a 20% increase in motor efficiency increasing the maximum range further. Shimano also took the weight down to vely low 2.88 kg, saving 210g from the previous E6000 model. You’ll feel this weight reduction most when you pedal past the motor’s assistance speed limit of 25km/h and hit the gradual transition from the motor’s drive to yours.
Shimano brought the pedal arms closer into the bike and they've been able to make the frame geometry the same as a normal bike. This gives a natural riding position with optimal power transfer per pedal stroke. It also looks good thanks to its compact, sleek and integrated design so it blends right in with the bike frame.
The 250 watt drive unit is nearly silent. You also have a choice between a 38T or 44T chainring to match your riding style and terrain. Both come with 170 mm arms for extra ground clearance which may come in handy for when you hit a stretch of bumpy ground, roll over a curb or pedal through that tight bend in the road.

QUITE SIMPLY, THEY LOVE RIDING BIKES. From the humble garage-days back in 1994 to the present fast changing times, Rock Machine has always followed one basic principle: Having fun behind the bars. Sure there are months in front of
the computer screens, sure there are miles & miles on the jetplanes, sure they spent countless of hours by refining even the smallest frame details. But year after year they couldn‘t wait for that moment we release our early prototypes into the wild. Riding them from the workshop to the dirt, back and forth and putting them to the limits in the most extreme conditions is the most enjoyable part of research & development. It not only enables us to give racers an opportunity to fight for the podium on the world stage, but above all it
helps to deliver the most satisfying experience on the trail to everyone.
