Hi, I would love to have Shimano motors compatible with my Ebike Apps. But Shimano unfortunately decided to use private communication standard as opposite to open ANT+ LEV. I still may find a way how to make connectivity working with the Shimano using reverse engineering but the result is unsure...

Yes, you can. I am using it like this when I feel empowered enough myself. :) And you don't need to have valid data from speed sensor to get power data. So go for it. :)

What I understand in the meantime is that ebike specific ANT data should be supported by some new shimano accessory. And if Garmin promoted that, that is good news, as it means that it will hopefully follow communication by standard. In that case, my apps are ready for it! :)

Interesting! I would love if somebody will test my apps with this device for compatibility. But that "ANT private" in specification sounds a little pessimistic, so I hope Shimano didn't closed connectivity only to their devices..

Hi, I think there are lots of wrong assumptions here. Yes, Specialized bikes output real-time data of both rider power and motor power. According to all available tests they seems to be quite accurate (apart from random spikes) and even Specialized mention rider power reading as accurate "with...
