You need to use our Bluetooth based eMaxMobileApp (for iOS or Android) or our Windows based programs eMax or miniMax to read the electronical serial number from your bike. You can use these apps and programs also to modify your bike after you have received the bike related licence key. Please send an eMail to info@eMax-Tuning.com for further Information.
Wondering how low can you set eco assist ? I mean I want it most of the time to just give me enough juice to support what the weight of what the bike is over my mechanical bike. Many ways to use and ebike. A question would be why not just ride your mechanical ? Simple, suppose I want to go somewhere to train and I don't want to drive ? Most of the time with my ebike I want to train and then maybe go somewhere else to train and then get home a different way without having to restrict myself with tired out legs. No car needed. Another example, I got into trouble training the other day when my legs didn't show up for the ride. On days when I am not sure how I feel, grab the ebike just in case. Other days just grab it for doing a ride when I don't feel like working out but just getting away for a recovery ride. Yet another example riding with a buddy that is younger and faster than me and I don't want him to have to wait on me. (yes, and I never go ahead of someone on a mechanical with an e-bike. Simply trail etiquette. Also, wife rides it with me and I don't have to wait on her. Like I said many ways.
Thanks for your user experience which we completly agree. With eMaxMobileApp you can (already in the licence free version) lower the assist ratio (motor torque vs. human torque) in all modes (Eco, Trail & Boost) down to 10%, so with this lowest setting on a DUE8000 drive unit you need to pedal with 700Nm on your own to get the max. motor torque of 70Nm - that´s quite hard stuff;-)
Please have a look on www.eMax-Tuning.com to find additional information and get a licence key for your bike if you want to increase the max. motor support speed and so need to activate the „motor speed modes“ button. Also please have a look on the description of the app in the AppStore to get Information to the app. You can also send an email to info@eMax-Tuning.com to get further assistance.
i just tested with scoot e-spark for the freemode and it works perfect, now wanting to buy the licence key. what's the difference between mechanical and electronical gears? mine is mechanical. is it still working if i use mechanical? cause i dont want to spend more money for the PCE1 interface
Yes, you can modify your bike with our software based tuning tools independent of your deraillieur type - so it will work perfectly with electronic deraillieur as well as with your mechanical deraillieur. Also if you want to convert your bike to electronical deraillieur later on you can do the then mandatory configuration change with eMaxMobileApp.
Bei den neuesten Motorfirmwareversionen von Shimano kann die max. Motorgeschwindigkeit nicht mehr über Bluetooth erhöht werden, siehe hierzu auch in der Beschreibung der App und in diesem Dokument: www.emax-tuning.com/eMax-Optimierungsmöglichkeiten.pdf. Es ist aber problemlos ein (temporärer) Downgrade über Bluetooth auf eine frühere Motorfirmware und danach eine Optimierung mit unserer App möglich, siehe dazu hier: www.emax-tuning.com/#support. Zudem kann über unsere Windows basierte miniMax - Software und einem PCE - Interface von Shimano auch die neueste Motorfirmware - Version von Shimano optimiert werden.
Since today, you can download the new app version 1.01 which has some nice new features and also is capable to modify the new motor firmware 4.7.0 from Apple´s AppStore
Please have a look on our Website www.eMax-Tuning.com, especially to the „news“ section and it´s also a good idea to contact us via email to get latest Information.
How do you get the license key? I can connect but the license key doesnt come up so will not finish the upload.keep getting an error as no license code?
Please just send an email with a screenshot with the error message to info@eMax-Tuning.com and we will assist you. Most probably you have an initial issue with your Bluetooth connection. We have special documents for such situations and just need to send them to you.
Hallo Sascha, mit eMaxMobileApp funktioniert die Konfiguration auf elektronisches Di2 Schaltwerk sogar noch deutlich einfacher als mit der PC-Software, einfach „spezielle Anpassungen“ verwenden, siehe hierzu in Kapitel 8 (Seite 23) dieser Dokumentation. www.emax-tuning.com/Kurzeinführung_eMaxMobileApp.pdf Funktioniert bereits in der lizenzfreien Version.
Hi, I have a E-Mtb from Ridley, elykx a I have it all costumized xtr brakes derailleur shifter,new xt discs and pedals. I have it tuned up with an app and my top speed is about 48kmh. The cassette in the back is at its lowest right now (11). I have the chainring at 38t right now and it comes from 34t so my question is should I upgrade it to 42 or is that gonna f*ck up the motor.
There is no official chainring size of 42 from Shimano, the only official chainring size is 44teeth, but most time this will not fit inside your frame. See also here: www.eMax-Tuning.com/Shimano-STEPS8000-Chainrings-Kettenblätter-34-38-44.pdf. So, maybe you can get a 42 teeth from a third party supplier. Using a larger chainring will not harm your motor in any way, the only thing is that you can go faster with your bike with the same cadence...
@@speedygonzales1335 thank you very much for the answer. I went to my bike shop today and they say I could get higher speeds but I’m gonna have to put more work down myself to. The reason why I wanted to do this in the first place is because I want to be faster than my friends on their scooter. I can keep up with them but within a minute I’m tired af. In my bike shop they say my motor just doesn’t has the power for it, they recommend not to do it.
with firmware 4.6.1 can I only choose 32 km/h and no individual support range? What happens when a new firmware version after 4.6.1 is out and I update? Is the tuning gone then? Where can I get a license key?
With firmware 4.6.1 and the eMaxMobileApp with a valid licence key you can choose the US modification with maximum 32km/h (20mph) motor support and correct values on your bike display. You can also additionally modify the wheel circumference value to get motor support of up to approx. 60km/h, but this will result in non correct values for speed and distance on your display. If you want to get individual motor support for each mode (Eco, Trail and Boost) of up to 60km/h and correct values on your bike display, you have to downgrade to motor firmware 4.3.2. For more Information please have a closer look on the documents linked on our webpage www.eMax-Tuning.com or on the German forum www.PedelecForum.de. Just search for eMax, miniMax, freeMax or eMaxMobileApp and you will find tons of information and great user experiences on our products. If you use our optimizing products, you never should update to a new firmware version before having a closer look on our latest documentation. Normally we adopt our software within day to new firmware versions, just have a look e.g. on the included history record of www.eMax-Tuning.com/eMax_EN.pdf on page 8 and 9. So you will also see that we have more than 2 years of experience with our products for STEPS8000. For ordering a licence key, just have a look on www.eMax-Tuning.com and write an email to info@eMax-Tuning.com.
Great beta-app! Waiting for the Android version release mid 2019, hopefully. Does it mean that NO Shimano PC interface kit is needed if only US/EU settings are changed? (not needing the fw downgrade for the advanced Emax settings)
yes, that´s right - no Shimano interface is needed, you only need a licence key for some modifications. See also here: www.emax-tuning.com/brief_intro_to_eMaxMobileApp.pdf
We are just in time and the iOS app is available worldwide in the AppStore since today, just search for "eMaxMobileApp" and write exactly in this way, otherwise it will not be shown.
You can do this with our Windows based eMax program already without a licence key. We also will try to integrate this functionality in our next version of eMaxMobileApp.
Thanks , but I've tried to download the emax program and can't . I'm trying to convert my ebike to di2 I have the app and that says my bike is setup as mechanical can u please.
You need to use the eMax program and a PCE1 or PCE02 interface to change the derailleur mode from mechanical to electronical. If you have any problems to get the eMax programm running on your Windows PC, just have a look on the documentation, especially on page 27, see here: www.emax-tuning.com/eMax_EN.pdf
Nearly every modification on a bike will void warranty! However, if you reset all modifications you can change with our software back to the original settings again also with our software, nobody can detect any modification made before... Please just send a short eMail to info@eMax-Tuning.com and we will inform you further.
With some original motor firmware versions from Shimano for the DU-E8000 drive unit and or software it is possible to increase max. assist ratio up to 500% (instead of the official 300%). However, this has nothing to do with „overclocking“ and works perfectly fine and stable.
You need to downgrade to motor firmware 4.0.2 first in order to change destination settings with the Bluetooth based eMaxMobileApp. See this document in chapter 4: www.emax-tuning.com/eMax-possibilities.pdf. See also the documents shown here: www.emax-tuning.com/home-en#support However, if you have access to a cable bound PCE - interface from Shimano, then you can modify your bike also with your currently installed motor firmware 4.1.7 as well as with the latest motor firmware 4.1.8 for the EP8 with our Windows based miniMax - program (there is no downgrade necessary in this way). For further questions just send an email to info@eMax-Tuning.com to get a much faster respone. THANKS;-)
The app is available now and you will find this app worldwide in the Apple AppStore, just search for "eMaxMobileApp". Take care: version 1.00 supports STEPS8000 drive units with an original series 8 Display (SC-E8000). We try to support the SC-E7000 Display in the next release. See also here for some more information: www.emax-tuning.com/brief_intro_to_eMaxMobileApp.pdf
Yes, we have integrated possibilities to modify a DUE5000 driven bike also in the latest versions of eMaxMobileApp. Please send a short eMail to info@eMax-Tuning.com and we will send you further details.
Thanks a lot - the Android version is already in ongoing development. Right now we are trying to get compatible with the new 4.7.0 firmware, which will probably take some more days.
Sorry, we are not native English speakers and so don‘t know the abbreviaton „ffs“. Could you please explain, so we can help you further? There is already a lot of functionality in the licence key free version, see this document www.emax-tuning.com/eMax-possibilities.pdf. However, if you want to speed up your bike, then you need a bike related licence key which you have to pay for. See www.eMax-Tuning.com. We hope you can unterstand that we cannot give our knowledge which we have worked for in many years „for free“.
where can i find the electronic serial no?
