Product presentation
The SHIMANO STEPS FC-E5000 crank set in 170 mm length (without chainring) is a crankset designed for electric-assist bicycles equipped with SHIMANO STEPS motorization. Designed to be integrated into a VAE drivetrain, this pair of cranks makes it possible to replace worn or damaged cranks and regain stable, smooth pedaling, essential to the smooth operation of electric assistance.
Benefits for the user
With a crank length of 170 mm, this SHIMANO STEPS crankset helps maintain a standard pedaling position and consistent pedal stroke on an electric bike. The "chainring-less" format means you can reuse an existing chainring if it's compatible with your set-up, or choose a chainring adapted to your drivetrain configuration, which comes in handy during a targeted overhaul or repair.

Expert advice
Before purchasing, check the length of your original cranks (170 mm here) to preserve your ergonomics and avoid any change in pedaling position. When replacing, inspect the condition of the pedals (threads), motor-side mounting and bolts/tightenings, then respect the tightening torques recommended by the manufacturer. If you are refitting an existing chainring, make sure it fits your SHIMANO STEPS configuration and is not warped or excessively worn, to preserve pedaling quality and drivetrain longevity.
