Shimano-connected bikes are supported in Levy.
Many rental e-bikes run Shimano drive units, and Shimano's connected ecosystem exposes bike and battery data. Levy reads that connected-bike data so Shimano-equipped fleets get location, battery, and health on the fleet map without a second tracker on connected models.

How it works with Levy
Shimano on a tracker-agnostic Levy stack
For Shimano-equipped bikes, Levy reads available connected-bike data so operators reduce retrofit installs and run those bikes natively where connectivity exists.

Pairs with retrofit trackers for non-connected bikes
| Power model | Factory-integrated — powered by the bike |
|---|---|
| Install | OEM connectivity; no retrofit on connected models |
| Connectivity | Embedded, model/OEM dependent |
| Battery life | Runs off the e-bike battery |
| Update interval | Status and ride data per connectivity capability |
| Security | Component and battery data; anti-theft varies by OEM |
| Coverage | Depends on bike maker connectivity |
| Pricing | Built into the connected bike |

Questions
Shimano Connected bike modules + Levy FAQ
Do all Shimano-equipped bikes expose connected data?
No — connectivity depends on the bike maker and model, not just the Shimano drive unit. Levy reads it where it exists and uses a retrofit tracker where it doesn't.
Does this remove the need for a retrofit tracker?
On connected models, often yes. Non-connected Shimano bikes still need a retrofit tracker feed.
What data does Levy get?
Location, battery, and bike-health data where the connected ecosystem and fleet permissions allow.
