orbea shimano steps 6010 specs/info please

[footpump]

hello all
just found out someone I see occasionally has just purchased orbea mtb which has the shimano steps e6010 moter , cannot seem to find all the specs/info online.

I would like to have a chat with the orbea owner so I can compare how the shimano system compares with my tdz equipped ebike on some of the local hills.
or is somewhat similar to my bosch activeline.

I am not sure of torque nm for shimano or if its a torque or speed sensor system, although I think its 3 pas settings as against my 4

thank you

Pretty sure my E6010 is 50nm.

Mine's got Eco, Normal & High (and Walk and Off - so maybe that's five! )

Some of the earlier Steps crank motors had three power levels.

Steps has possibly a bit less outright grunt than a Bosch Active, although the ride is similar.

Given that I rarely use turbo on my Bosch motors, a Steps would suit me well enough.

A rider wanting high assist a lot might be better off with the new Steps MTB motor, or Bosch performance/CX.

3800km on my Steps, it is nice drive and more than enough for relax cruising and sweat free climbing. High mode is little bit lumpy compared to bosch, eco and normal are excellent. Controls and display a superior to Bosch.
Three power modes are all you need, I never use Bosch Sport level.

thanks all local lbs sells the orbea its the keram 30 mtb model orange £1699
I did ask the specs some months ago and I believe dealer said 60nm for e6010 and 80 nm for the e8000 mtb but I could be mistaken?
cant see the nm value in the manual or online.

Says 50nm for the E6000 here:

But I suppose the E6010 could be 60nm.

The torque is irrelevant because you can make it whatever you want by altering the gearing. Also, torque is different in every gear. The difference is in the power. I think that you can be pretty sure that the 6000 series run at 15 amps and the 8000 series at 20 amps. The battery voltage is normally around 40v, so power from the battery would be 600w for the 6000 series and 800w for the 8000 series. That gives the ratio of 60:80 between the two motors. Obviously, you'll use up your battery 33% faster if you use the extra power that's available.

When you run the same motor at higher current, you get proportionally more torque from it, but you don't need more current to get more torque from your bike. You can always trade speed for torque with gearing.
