• 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.

After changing wheel circumference from 2300 to 1429 on my ep8 rise the bike is performing great, however walk mode is now sprint mode and wants to propel the bike at around 8-10 mph.
Is there any way in STUnlocker or Etube pro to adjust the walk mode speed to something sensible that I can keep up with on foot?
Walk mode is not configurable. BTW, a selected gear affects on the walk mode output

Thanks for the reply Vadll.
Yes even on the largest 51 tooth cog I can't keep up with it, even up 40% gradients.
I will switch it back to US country and standard circumference which is quick enough and doesn't affect walk mode.
I use walk mode quite a bit on some of the more challenging rides.

I have used stunlocker a dozen or so times now. Every time to derestrict an ep800/8000/7000/etc.. I have not done a ep801 or ep801-rs
So far I have done this using an android phone to upgrade/downgrade the firmware.

I now have a SM-PCE02 and would like to take a look at the windows software.
The stunlocker website has a note which says "Windows version supports all firmware (of supported motors) for the derestriction, including the latest (August, 2024)".

Are there any new instructions/manual, etc?
Also with the SM-PCE02 can I change the region and/or circumference of a EP801 motor?
Thanks

You can use PCE02 with any supported bike and on any firmware.
EP801/EP6 motors are not supported for the derestriction

I have also used STunlocker many times succesfully, and now I have EP801 and this is (currently) only supported by eMax and supports the new Shimano firmware with carry-over function - works great.

Are you working on the EP801/EP6 motors to supported derestriction?
No. Shimano fixed all latest firmware and remove everything from functionality via Bluetooth. I think that the only way to derestrict EP801/EP6 is to flash a patched firmware. Some guys do this via the PCE interface using remote desktop, because they don't want a patched firmware to leak into the public.
