Warning!!

Riding a tuned or deristricted EMTB is not a trivial offence and can have serious legal consequences. Also, many manufacturers can detect the use of a tuning device or deristricting method and may decline a repair under warranty if it was modified from the intended original specification. Deristricting EMTB's can also add increased loads for motors and batteries. Riding above the local law limit may reclassify the bike as a low-powered bike, requiring insurance, registration and a number plate.

Be aware of your local country laws. Many laws prohibit use of modified EMTB's. It is your responsibility to check local laws. Ignoring it, has potential implications to trail access, and risk of prosecution in the event of an accident.

Derestricting Shimano E5000 with STUnlocker

I just bought a used Merida eSpresso 300 SE. It has a E5000 motor and a SC-5000A display. I also have a SC-E7000 display on my other ebike (merida e160, ep8) that I have derestricted with stunlocker.

If I want to derestrict the eSpresso 300 and I just temporarily connect the sc-e7000 display/controller and then connect via bluetooth and unlock?

Or is there something I haven't thought about.
