Product overview
The SHIMANO STEPS SM-CDE70 chain guide is a dedicated part for SHIMANO STEPS electric assist systems. Installed at the transmission, it helps keep the chain properly guided during pedaling, an essential point on an electric bike where motor torque can put extra strain on the chain and transmission line.
Benefits for the user
This chain guide for electric bikes helps to secure the chain's path during use, particularly during the relaunches and changes of pace typical of an EAB. It contributes to a more serene use of the bike by limiting the inconveniences linked to a chain that doesn't run smoothly on the drive train, which is particularly sought-after on SHIMANO STEPS (drive unit) motorizations.

Expert advice
Before purchasing, identify the exact part number of the chain guide mounted on your bike (inscription on the part or bike data sheet) and check that it is a SHIMANO STEPS assembly. When replacing, also check the condition of the chain and chainring: a worn chain or a marked chainring can impair guidance and accelerate component wear. If in doubt about compatibility with your drive unit or drivetrain configuration, have the assembly validated by a specialist VAE workshop.
