The Shimano STEPS BT-E6010 delivers 418Wh of lithium-ion power in a sleek down tube mounting format, giving city and trekking e-bike riders substantial range without compromising the bike's handling balance. Designed as a factory-integrated solution for STEPS-equipped frames, it blends cleanly into the frame line while keeping centre of gravity low for a natural ride feel.

Range & Performance

At 418Wh, the BT-E6010 is sized for real-world urban and trekking use. Paired with a Shimano STEPS motor, it delivers consistent, smooth pedal assistance across a full day of riding. Charging time of approximately four hours means overnight charging is all you need to be ready for the next day. Lithium-ion chemistry ensures reliable performance across a wide operating temperature range of -10°C to +50°C.

Longevity & Care

The BT-E6010 is built for the long haul, rated to 1,000 charge cycles before capacity falls to 60%. For best battery life, Shimano recommends charging in temperatures between 0°C and +40°C. Avoid leaving the battery fully depleted for extended periods, and store it in a cool, dry location when not in use.

Compatibility & Fit

The BT-E6010 is designed for use with Shimano STEPS E6000 and E6100 series e-bike systems. It requires the BM-E6010 down tube battery mount (frame-integrated or bracket type). Compatible chargers are the EC-E6002 and EC-E8004. This battery is a frame-specific component — confirm your frame's battery specification with your bike manufacturer before purchasing. Not compatible with STEPS E7000, E8000, or EP800 series systems.
