The advantages are obvious: the quieter and lighter 85 Nm motor gives the impression of riding a classic bike through its easy and efficient pedalling. Thanks to the optimised software, the motor delivers the right power at the right time. The Shimano E-TUBE app also offers a wide range of setting options and can even be adjusted “on tour”. On the trail, the Shimano EP8 offers three support levels: Eco, Trail and Boost.
Thanks to the combination of a steep seat angle, moderately long reach and chainstays and a flat steering angle, the frame of the Ekano manages this balancing act without any problems. On the trails, these features make for an agile ride and the powerful support of the Shimano EP8 gives you a whole new riding experience.
You can choose from a wide range of components and adapt your bike perfectly to your needs. You can also create an individual look for your Ekano by choosing from the different frame colours, decals, grips and badges on the head tube.
Good looks are not everything. Our Ekano also impresses with its inner values and smart details. With quick-change chain guard, durable bearings and internal cable routing, you’ll get more time on the bike than in your garage.
Many small details make our Ekano a real eye-catcher. The tidy cockpit not only ensures clarity and ease of use, the newly developed Ekano logo also shows the direction: always forward!
To protect the motor and down tube against stone hits, and to protect your frame against damage to the paintwork caused by the chain jumping, your Ekano comes with our motor and chain stay protection as standard. The optimised chain stay protection absorbs vibrations of the chain and protects the stay from damage. The down tube and motor are optimally protected by a cover against damage and dirt.
Internal cable routing became a standard for modern bikes. We are taking this to a new level by equipping the carbon frames with internal cable channels in which the cables run. This makes the fitting super easy and any cable noise in the frame is eliminated.
Whether it’s an adventurous tour or action in the bike park – your Ekano offers you the performance you need in any terrain.
Powerful & enduring!
No trail is like the other. Everyone has his own preferences when it comes to riding. With the new Shimano EP8, you get the power when you need it! No matter if it’s steep & challenging terrain or a flowing single trail, you decide how the engine supports you. Thanks to the many setting options you can adjust the engine to your needs.
E-Tube Project App
Eco, Trail or Boost modes are well known by now. With the Shimano E-Tube Project App you can now adjust the support of your engine to suit your riding style. Whether you’re on single trail or on the way to work, the quickly changed profiles ensure that your bike is always optimally adjusted.
The size of the frame plays an important role in the bike’s performance and, above all, in its enjoyment. Select the frame size you need from the table. If you are between two sizes, then you only have to decide whether you like it playful or smooth. For smooth riding, choose the larger frame size, for playful riding, choose the smaller frame size.

Agile handling on the trails paired with the powerful support of the Shimano EP8 provide a completely new riding experience.

With a bike like our Ekano, no general statement can be made. Due to the different uses of the e-bike, external influences such as the weather and the rider's weight, we can only give a rough estimate. Based on our experience so far, the distance on one battery charge is between 40-80 kilometers.
To ensure the longest lifespan of your battery, please follow the instructions provided in the Shimano operating manual.
A Shimano BT-8035 replacement battery costs €699.00. You can find the battery here.
