The Shimano STEPS BT-E6001 gives your e-bike a genuine 504Wh of range-extending capacity from a rear carrier-mounted battery that integrates seamlessly with the STEPS ecosystem. Whether you're commuting across the city or riding loaded touring routes, 100 km of range in normal mode means fewer stops and more riding.

Performance & Charging

Rated at 36V and 14Ah, the BT-E6001 delivers a 504Wh energy store that powers Shimano STEPS drive units across a full day of riding. A full charge from flat takes approximately 4–4.5 hours using a compatible charger (EC-E6002 or EC-E8004); an 80% top-up can be achieved in around 2.5–3.2 hours, making it practical to recharge during a lunch break. The battery adaptor SM-BTE60 allows use with older-style charger connectors where required.

Durability & Weather Protection

Shimano's waterproof construction means the BT-E6001 handles rain, spray and wet conditions without concern. The battery is rated for a minimum of 1,000 full charge cycles — after which it retains more than 300Wh (60%) of its original capacity — giving it a usable lifespan that matches years of daily commuting or recreational riding. A built-in charge level indicator lets you check remaining range at a glance, while the integrated error signal alerts you to any system fault before it becomes a problem.

Compatibility & Fit

The BT-E6001 mounts to a rear pannier carrier using the Shimano BM-E6000 battery mount (sold separately). It is designed for use within the Shimano STEPS e-bike system and is compatible with EC-E6002 and EC-E8004 chargers. Verify compatibility with your specific STEPS motor unit and frame before purchase — consult your Shimano dealer or the official Shimano STEPS compatibility chart if unsure.
