Shimano ebike display delete?

[dirt huffer]

I want to get rid of the my e8000 handlebar display. I read somewhere that you can get rid of it, and in its place you can plugin a small light indicator that tells you what mode your in. I can't find where I read this. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Interested as to why you wanna get rid , it’s not as if it’s big or heavy like some of the small laptops some bikes have ? have to say I don’t use mine a lot but it’s useful sometimes , also how would you select the set up and Bluetooth function without ?
Interesting thread because if the display ever caused a problem it would be good to know an easy way to disconnect it and keep the bike working

The unit has bluetooth so you can still use the app. It is primarily designed to work with the E-Tube Ride app which turns your smart phone into a display.

I'm just annoyed with any screens on my handlebar except on my road bike. I think it's from mountain biking for years without any bike computer.

Fair enough , I’ve used my garmin gps on the bars and I hate that there too unless I really need it to navigate , as for I phone on the bars even the roadie is horrible

I was thinking of tinting my display.

That's another idea I had as well. Or just putting some black electrical tape over it. I guess that's my cheapest solution

you can turn the brightness right down in the app

I have been considering the pros and cons of removing my display and installing a EW-EN100.

I have no need for trip, odometer or speedo information. I can check total km on etube app, should I need that info and I have no reason to keep on checking my speed, if the motor assists I go under 25 km/h and if it does not assist I go faster. Cadence was somewhat nice to have when I was getting to know the bike and SRAM gears, but I do not use that either. However, I would like to have the battery charge and remaining range displayed, so I guess I must keep the display. The other option would be the etube ride app, of course.

I use the EN-100 paired with my Garmin watch for the info I need, battery percentage being all I care about but the Garmin can show range/mode/etc.

One of the members on here developed a data field for the Garmin watches to enable this:

I use the EW-EN100 with a Garmin as well (the e8000 display can't do this btw as it doesn't have bluetooth). I like to have battery percentage displayed on the Garmin. I do like the LED on the EN100 that shows what mode I'm in at a glance.

Personally I think the e7000 control with the EW-EN100 is the best setup and if you want more you can add a Garmin of your choice.

Can you connect to a Wahoo computer with the STEPS system?

The one bit of information I would realy like is the battery % rather than the 5 bars.
