NOTE: Conventional tuning modules offer only limited functionality compared to today’s e-bike standards. They often rely on complex and unintuitive display button sequences for activating, deactivating, or adjusting speed limits. This makes operation cumbersome, especially during a ride. In some cases, users must stop the bicycle and manually rotate the rear wheel multiple times to initiate or confirm the selected setting — a process that is inefficient and inconvenient for real-world riding conditions.

The MBIQ-P for Shimano mid-engines is a plug-in solution with an ultra-small installation space.
The existing speed sensor can be plugged in directly. The tuning module has the same connectors as the existing sensor cable, allowing it to be easily inserted between the speed sensor and the motor controller.
It is compatible with common motor firmwares from manufacturers and operates on a microcontroller basis.
The current speed profile is analyzed and processed, and manipulated values are output when the tuning is activated.
The maximum assistance speed can be set to several levels, allowing you to choose how much you want to increase the speed limit.
(from version v_l_1)
-
motion programming
Customer-programmable!
The functionality can be reprogrammed after installation without additional equipment.
MODE 1: Tuning permanently activated (permanent engine support)
MODE 2: Tuning permanently deactivated (motor support up to 25 km/h)
MODE 3: Tuning according to switch-on condition (via magnet, can be deactivated while driving!)
(see video for details!)
-
"anti-tuning" ready
Compatible with common engine firmware from manufacturers. The manipulated values do not affect the engine software's evaluation.
-
highly integrated electronic
Thanks to the highly integrated electronics, tuning takes place in the smallest possible space. No additional power supply or battery is required for operation.
compatibility
- Steps E5xxx
- Steps E6xxx
- Steps E7xxx
- Steps E8xxx
- ...
ALSO WITH DI2!
- No power supply required - completely maintenance-free
-
Very easy installation - the tuning is simply plugged between the existing sensor cable and the engine and can be removed again if necessary.
-
Compatible connectors - the tuning has the same connectors for an optimal connection.
Technical data
OPERATION PRINCIPLE:
The current speed profile is analyzed, processed, and, if tuning is activated, manipulated values are output. As a result, the speed display essentially "freezes" at approximately 20 km/h (depending on the model) when driving at speeds greater than 25 km/h. There is no speed halving (as with some other products) !
(the total kilometers are correspondingly lower for this area)
