Phone works well , displays battery , range , mode , distance , speed , cadence and mapping etc all on the Etube ride app . My issue is old phone I use , it eats the battery life and it's a bit of a slab on your handlebars lolNo, you dont need a Garmin.
First in depends on the model of Rise you get, but if it has a display, then it will show you a ton of info including range and battery level.
If you have a model without a display, that uses the ew-en100 module, then the module has small LED's on it that will tell you mode selection and when the battery gets to certain levels. More info on that unit here:
EW-EN100 (Junction A)
I recently got one of these to have a play with on my E8000 bike and see what it does - recording my findings so far in case they are useful. First off you can't have the EW-EN100 connected at the same time as a display - it is one or the other. So the EW-EN100 is basically the option to use if...www.emtbforums.com
You can also use your phone to connect to the bike and tell you the battery life/range etc.

Or stunlocker.I see now, that's what the E-tube ride app is for...
You've got it , it acts as a display if that's what you want . Personally because it's new I wanted to know my range and cadence to get a feel for itI see now, that's what the E-tube ride app is for...
I haven't tried it, but I don't know if ST Unlocker would work with the Rise. Some of the features are for specific firmware version of shimano motors and Orbea has their own proprietary firmware that was developed with Shimano for this bike specifically. It may give you the basics, but not allow motor adjustments. Still only available on a phone I believe and I'd much rather have the info on my watch so I don't have to stop and take off my pack and dig out my phone.Or stunlocker.
I was only meaning in response to @stiv674 and using e-tube to display data - not change settings.It may give you the basics, but not allow motor adjustments.
Got my old phone on a QuadLock , it's solid but did get covered in crap , so not ideal in those conditionsI haven't tried it, but I don't know if ST Unlocker would work with the Rise.

Agreed , I've got android sport watch and a Garmin Edge 25 , neither will workWhat I dont get (and I am not a tech head so might be obvious to others) is why Shimano haven't got a version of E-Tube/E-Tube Ride for the Apple Watch (or indeed android watches). With the watches capabilities would seem made to measure for a comprehensive control/data app to work on it.
I was lucky enough to do some work there once. I took a quick picture of the whole IT department ...What I dont get (and I am not a tech head so might be obvious to others) is why Shimano haven't got a version of E-Tube/E-Tube Ride for the Apple Watch (or indeed android watches).

If you had a medical emergency, how would you call out for help if ever needed? That’s a big reason why I always have my phone with me.
I know, just wanted to clarify for others. Thanks. I really wish some of these app were available on the apple watch, but alas, they are not.
I'm an iOS app developer and I've written a couple Apple Watch apps. Nothing to do with Bluetooth yet though, but I could learn. When I get my Rise I'll see, if there's nothing available by then, what's possible.
STUnlocker supports EP8 RS. It's the same motor as the normal EP8, with the same FW, but with Power/Torque restrictions which are probably can be changed (not tested yet)I haven't tried it, but I don't know if ST Unlocker would work with the Rise.
Potential customer for the Rise here. Any luck with the noisy brakes? There are a few Youtube videos where you can clearly hear the brakes on the Rise squeeking away. Just wondering if it's the disc rotors. From what I have read, the Rise comes with Galfer Wave rotors. According to their website "Galfer Wave® rotors usually “break in” after the first 100 miles. This process should be done with gradual braking at various speeds and pressures. Do not overheat the brakes". Maybe they just need time to get rid of the noise. Perhaps you could get out and ride for 100 miles with your breaks on and let us know if this works! Thanks in advanceTomorrow's job
I've not ridden since I last mentioned it , but I've given discs a thorough clean and cleaned , scuffed and set fire to the pads lol . I'll report back , they felt better up and down street but still not sure , it's not easy to stand it up in the front wheel , front brake kind of judders as you pull up .Potential customer for the Rise here.
