Since many months we are intensively analysing the new motor generation drive units DU-EP801 (EP801), DU- EP600 (EP6), EP801-RS and EP6-RS to find appropriate optimising possibilities.

Currently you can use the Windows based miniMax – program and a cable – bound PCE – interface already in the licence free version to unleash the full max. torque and max. peak power of the „RS“ – versions on the new drive units of the Orbea bikes from current modelyear 2023, see also in this German forum post of us.

We also already have found possibilities to increase the max. motor support speed of these new generation drive units, see this German forum post of us. We are working very hard to provide this functionality also in our software soon.

The latest eMaxMobileApp version 1.63 is ready for download in Apple AppStore and Google PlayStore.

Additionally to the already supported drive – units and firmware versions this version now supports the newly released motor firmware versions:

4.4.9 for the DU-E5000, DU-E5080 and DU-E5080-H drive units

4.7.6 for the DU-E6000, DU-E6110, DU-E6100-CRG and DU-E6180 drive units

4.7.6 for the DU-E7000 drive units

4.1.10 for the DU-EP800 (EP8), DU-EP800-RS (EP8-RS) and DU-EP800-CRG drive units

TAKE CARE: Although this version of eMaxMobileApp is partially compatible with all the latest motor firmware versions of all drive units, it is NOT possible to change bike settings in order to increase max. motor support speed via Bluetooth!

Also some of the light related functionality is not or only partially available with the newest firmware versions from Shimano.

See also here.

If you want to speed up your bike with the latest motor firmware versions or need special light functionality, you can use the latest version of our Windows based miniMax program in combination with a PCE interface or you can downgrade to a previous motor firmware (see documents in the support section).

The latest eMaxMobileApp version 1.62 is ready for download in Apple AppStore and Google PlayStore.

This version includes optimisations and a bug fix for a quite rare combination of Shimano STePS components with some older firmware installed.

The latest eMaxMobileApp version 1.59 is ready for download in Apple AppStore and Google PlayStore.

This version accepts and identifies new battery types as well as new Shimano STePS components like DU-EP801, DU-EP6 and SW-EN600-L.

Increasing max. motor support speed on the new EP801 (& EP801-RS, EP801-CRG) and EP6 (& EP6-RS, EP6-CRG) drive uints is not possible.

Increasing max. torque and max. peak power on the new power reduced EP801-RS and EP6-RS drive units currently is not possible.
