• Warning!!

    Riding a tuned or deristricted EMTB is not a trivial offence and can have serious legal consequences. Also, many manufacturers can detect the use of a tuning device or deristricting method and may decline a repair under warranty if it was modified from the intended original specification. Deristricting EMTB's can also add increased loads for motors and batteries. Riding above the local law limit may reclassify the bike as a low-powered bike, requiring insurance, registration and a number plate.

    Be aware of your local country laws. Many laws prohibit use of modified EMTB's. It is your responsibility to check local laws. Ignoring it, has potential implications to trail access, and risk of prosecution in the event of an accident.

Hi Vadim, I have downloaded the android app, paid for and received my licence code. Where in the app do I enter the code to unlock it?

Thanks
Dave

Not yet. Development for iOS is very uncomfortable for me...
 
Hello Vadll

I'm after a little advice please; I've used your app to set the wheel to the correct size, it came slightly wrong, and to set the region to US (from EU) to raise the top assistance speed a little, and it's perfect thanks.

I have a Decoy so E8000 system with E7000 display, is there anything stopping me from changing my display to the colour E8000 display? would it still work as it is currently setup?

Thanks
Lee

is this steps Unlocker still the best way to Derestrict the Shimano motors? if now what is? many thanks
 
Is there anyway to make the motor assist faster than 32kmh? I drive mostly on rural areas with no traffic and I have nearly 30km work route. Little more boost would be so nice. Also my bike seem to be only giving me boost to 30kmh not 32kmh and then I feel it shutting down. I know there is speedboxes etc but would be so nice to just tweak it from the app.
E: I have e7000

Set circumference to 1300

Is the licence tied to the display or different component of the system? if i change the display on my e8000 system from the 7000 to the 8000 will the licence still be valid and the software still fully functional?
 
Licence is for motor's serial number
 
If I sell my bike can can the new owner just download the app and use like I would if the license is tied to the motor???
 
Hello from the US. I am going to pay for the app later on today on the advice of a fellow emtber. I just bought a 2020 Commencal Meta Power Ride and I think it is set to the Euro mode because it is limited to 15mph/25kmh. Can you tell me what else I have to do or buy just to set it to the USA mode? Thanks and have a great day.
 
Does ST Unlocker work with the latest Shimano 4.9.0 firmware?

Derestriction via Bluetooth is not supported in 4.9.0. Downgrade to 4.8.0 or use PCE interface for derestriction
 
Android App is available!
At this moment you can find DEMO with interface features: Google Play

Features:
- Bike Info
- Battery info (recharge cycles and health %)
- Change Assistant Level, including maximum power

Waiting for the sm-pce02 to arrive, does the bike have to be connected to purchase the licence? Sorry, total newbie question

The license requires the serial number of your bike, so yes, you have to connect the App/Software with the bike to get the serial number.

Thanks for the quick reply, will the pc version recognise the serial number? I want to change to us region as the 25kmph is laughable and almost exactly at cruising speed
 
Hi again, can i use the app on my ipad and pc simultaneously or will that require two licences? belt and braces in case i accidentally brick the bike diue to bluetooth drop out

Premium license is for the motor. You can use it on any device.
 
thanks so much for your swift reply, i'll be purchasing the licence after the easter weekend
 
Hi, my sm- pce02 is due to arrive today so hopefully I’ll be purchasing the licence later 😁 25kph sucks on roads travelled to get to trails
 
Hi! I tried STunlocker for Android today and was able to connect to my DU-E6100.
I was also able to change the assist levels (%) but the settings are not persistent (removed after power cycle).

Is this the expected behavior on FW 4.8.0?
Any downsides to downgrading?


To be perfectly honest, my old DU-E5000 feels way smoother / more assist compared to my new DU-E6100. I was hoping to tune that :)

Yes, E6100 firmware resets assist settings on each power cycle.
Any downsides to downgrading?
The downgrade will not fix that issue with motor. It is required for the derestriction only
 
@vadII does this work to change the speed limit on the EP801, and if so is it reversible/undetectable if the motor needs to go back for warranty?
