MBIQ-S Tuning Sensor for Shimano Steps E5xxx - E8xxx E-Bikes with SM DUE10
A microcontroller-based sensor solution for e-bikes with Shimano Steps mid-drive motors. This tuning tool completely removes the 25 km/h speed limit, allowing you to finally enjoy the full potential of your Shimano motor. The MBIQ-S is therefore reduced to the absolute essentials: removing the speed limit – there are no other functions. Installing the tool is simple, as you essentially just need to replace the e-bike's speed sensor with the MBIQ-S.
You don’t need an extra battery for the MBIQ-S.
Functionality
After connecting the tuning tool, the MBIQ-S analyzes the current speed profile and forwards manipulated sensor values. Speeds above 25 km/h are blocked for the motor firmware, thus removing the motor's speed limit.
Important note: Due to this special functionality, your e-bike's speedometer will no longer display the correct speed above approximately 22 km/h. To be precise, the displayed speed will always be ≤ 25 km/h.
Incidentally, the evaluation of the engine software is not affected in any way by the manipulated values / no detection.
Three operating modes
Unlike previous models, the MBIQ-S can be programmed by the customer. The individual operating modes can be activated by specific wheel movements when turning on the e-bike. You can choose between three different operating modes:
- Tuning is always switched on (the speed limit is permanently removed; from approx. 25 km/h the displayed speed no longer corresponds to the actual speed).
- Tuning is permanently switched off (the speed limit is not removed, motor support up to 25 km/h with real speed display).
- Tuning based on power-on condition: To activate tuning, the magnet must be in front of the sensor for approximately 3-4 seconds during boot-up; otherwise, tuning is deactivated. This can be useful, for example, if you want to deactivate tuning before a workshop visit (the sensor solution is virtually invisible in this case).
Easy installation
The installation of this tuning tool is easy, as you basically only have to replace the original speed sensor with the MBIQ-S.
You'll find the sensor on the rear frame, often next to the quick-release axle. Depending on the manufacturer, the sensor cable is often routed through the frame. The connector end is plugged into the engine compartment, which is usually protected by a plastic cover.
Depending on the manufacturer and model, it may be necessary to remove the motor to pull out the sensor cable and insert the MBIQ-S. On some e-bike types, the sensor cable runs through the frame and must be carefully pulled out. The MBIQ-S cable must then be routed through the frame in the same way using the included pull wire.
Since the look of the MBIQ-S is absolutely neutral, your e-bike will not be visually changed in any way by the tuning.
Tip: We recommend keeping the e-bike's original sensor so that you can restore the bike to its original condition if necessary.
Robust & resistant to moisture
Compared to previous models, the quality of the housing components in the MBIQ-S has been significantly improved. Thanks to the electronics encapsulated in the sensor, the MBIQ-S is extremely resistant to dirt and moisture.

Tools
To install an E-Bike tuning chip in your E-Bike it is sometimes special tools necessary. Please check previously whether you have to open the engine compartment to access the motor connectors. This is especially true for products from the Modules, Kit, Dongle and Sensor.
Normally (but not always) opening the engine compartment requires loosening the crank. To do this, you will need a Crank puller. Some engines also have a Spider Tool This is important for opening the lock ring on the chainring - because the chainring must be loosened here so that the motor cover can be removed to access the inside of the motor. If you want to replace the chainring (wear, change the gear ratio), you often need a Spider Tool. The necessary special tools can also be found in our shop. To remove the engine cover, you usually need a Torx or Allen key. For installing the modules, appropriate Pliers from the electronics sector.
Do you decide not for a tuning solution that you have to install in the engine compartment (Box, Software), there is no need for any tools. In our Guide you will find further tips.

Important information on tuning measures for e-bikes and e-scooters
We expressly point out that any modification to e-bikes and e-scooters – whether through hardware tuning (e.g. tuning chips, dongles, sensor adapters) or software tuning (e.g. apps, programs or USB tools) – can have consequences.
Tuning measures on e-bikes and e-scooters mean that they are no longer permitted for use on public roads as defined by the StVZO (Road Traffic Licensing Regulations). Legal use is therefore only possible on private property or - if permitted - in competitions. Riding an e-bike or e-scooter modified by tuning measures on public roads can lead to criminal liability for driving without a license (Section 21 of the Road Traffic Act) and driving without insurance (Section 6 of the PflVG). Tuning measures on e-bikes can lead to the loss of warranty rights and manufacturer guarantees. Furthermore, tuning measures can lead to the loss of insurance coverage and benefits from accident victim assistance in the event of an accident. The e-bike (or e-scooter) modified by tuning measures is subject to additional stress due to the higher speed, which can lead to safety risks.
