Meet our CARGO SUPREMO: SHIMANO EP801 Cargo

SHIMANO EP801 Cargo is the cargo-dedicated version of our most powerful e-bike system. Think quicker access to power to push heavy loads up hilly streets and over bridges. Compatible with DEORE XT Di2 or CUES Di2 shifting, you can enjoy our new AUTO SHIFT technology that automatically changes gears, so you’re always in the right gear at the right time. The system integration also enables FREE SHIFT technology, allowing the bike to shift without pedaling so you can change gears while coasting towards traffic lights and be ready for take-off every time. And when it comes time to stop, our new anti-lock braking system (ABS) helps keep you and your cargo in control with smooth and consistent braking performance.

Available pre-installed on a wide variety of cargo brands and models
