MBIQ-P tuning kit for Shimano EP801/ EP801-RS / EP6 / EP600 motors

This MBIQ-P tuning kit removes the 16mph (25km/h) speed limit, allowing the motor to help you at higher speeds.

Real speed will be displayed up to 14-15mph (22-25km/h), at higher speeds the bike will show incorrect, slower than real speeds.

The tuning kit manipulates the speed signal without altering the motor's power relative to pedaling speed. This guarantees a smooth motor control without speed limit interruptions. Depending on a tuning kit, some determine when assistance stops, while others remove the restriction entirely for continuous support. However, the achievable speed mostly depends on the eBike model. Achievable speed can be calculated using a simple formula:

Speed = Cadence [rpm] * Wheel circumference [mm] * Front Chainring Teeth / Rear Chainring Teeth * 60 [min/h] / 1.000.000 [mm/km]

The MBIQ-P for Shimano EP801/EP6/EP600 mid-drive motors is a "hybrid" tuning module with two different manipulation modes. It was specifically developed for the latest generation of motors. In addition to the classic "Freeze" mode, there is also the innovative "Damp" mode.

The MBIQ-P module overrides the preset 25 km/h speed limit, allowing the maximum speed to be individually adjusted as needed. No additional devices (e.g., a PC or smartphone) are required. The default setting allows a maximum speed of up to 34 km/h.

Easy installation: The existing speed sensor can be plugged in directly. The tuning features the same connectors as the existing sensor cable, allowing for easy integration between the speed sensor and the engine control unit.

Please note: To gain access to the corresponding connectors, the engine cover must be removed briefly. Important: In some e-bike models the motor is integrated into the frame - in this case it must be completely removed to access the connections (e.g. ORBEA, ....).

The MBIQ-P is compatible with the manufacturers' common motor firmwares and is microcontroller-based.

“Hybrid Tamper” Instead of the familiar FREEZE manipulation (freezing the speedometer at 25 km/h), the MBIQ-P module uses a new, additional manipulation method, the DAMP mode. This "damps" the output manipulated speed according to an algorithm, reaching a final speed by a factor of X.

Note: According to the manufacturer, the "Freeze" mode is disabled for the specified Shimano motors due to the manipulation detection of the motor software not recommended. However, the module is already set to DAMP mode (factory setting 1,35 = approximately 34 km/h top speed).

Functionality The current speed profile is analyzed, processed and - if tuning is activated - manipulated values ​​are output.

Display in the e-bike display Steam mode: The output speed corresponds approximately to the actual speed, but damped by a preset, configurable factor. The factory setting is 1,35.

Here's an example: Output value = 25 km/h, actual top speed 33,75 km/h. (25 * 1,35 = 33,75)

Freeze mode: Up to a value of approximately 22 to 25 km/h, the displayed speed roughly corresponds to the actual speed (varies depending on the system). At higher (real) speeds, the displayed value always remains around this range, but never higher than 25 km/h.

Here is an example: The displayed speed is 22 km/h, but in reality the speed is around 40 km/h, etc.

The total kilometers displayed are also lower for journeys with active tuning for the corresponding range. Customer-programmable: The functionality of the tuning module can be programmed after installation without the need for additional equipment. For example, you can specify whether the tuning should be active permanently or only for the current ride ("tuning based on power-on condition"). The maximum speed can also be set. Programming is performed when the e-bike is started up using specific wheel movements. The sensor must be guided along the spoke magnet, which causes specific values ​​to appear on the display (see illustration below). Detailed operating instructions are included.

Important: In the delivery state, the MBIQ-P module is in DAMP mode with a set factor of 1,35This allows top speeds of up to approximately 34 km/h. Adjusting the value/mode is the owner's responsibility and may (but does not necessarily) lead to tamper detection. This is signaled by the error code: E295. If this code appears, the value/mode must be adjusted back immediately.

Attention! If error E295 is ignored multiple times, the entire drive unit will be locked and error E299 will be displayed. This can only be reversed by the dealer!

MBIQ-P for Shimano EP801 / EP6 / EP600 – Compatibility.
This tuning module is only compatible with the following Shimano e-bike drives:
EP801 / RS (DU-EP801) / also compatible with software version 4.3.0...
EP6 / EP600 (DU-EP600)
Also compatible with Di2, although the automatic mode may react slightly differently due to the damping.

Important instructions:
-Due to the possible tuning detection, the operating mode Freeze is not recommended. Adjusting the multiplier in DAMP mode is also done at your own risk, as excessively high values ​​can lead to malfunctions (the default setting is 1,35, which corresponds to a maximum speed of approximately 34 km/h).

-For the tuning to work properly with EP801 and EP6 drives, the ACC connection must be activated! Unfortunately, this is not the case for all models.If the ACC connection cannot be activated, the module can also be connected to the lights. The disadvantage of this solution is that activation via the lights is not possible, and the lights must always be on.

-Speed-based assistance systems such as electronic Di2 shifting also receive the manipulated signals for processing and must be adjusted accordingly. Proper functioning cannot be guaranteed in general!

“Anti-tuning” ready
The MBIQ-P is compatible with common engine firmwares from manufacturers. The manipulated values ​​do not affect the engine software's evaluation.

Easy installation - The tuning is simply plugged between the existing sensor cable and the motor. If necessary, it can be removed again to restore the e-bike to its original condition. Compatible connectors - The tuning module has the same connectors for an optimal connection.
