And… um… maybe I’m wrong, but aren’t we to take torque ratings with a boulder of salt?

Ok, so I am very excited to report an extremely successful upgrade to my Redux. For $50, my bike shifts quieter and more smoothly than before. It’s almost like a different bike! What did I do? I swapped out the chain. That’s right. I’m now rocking a KMC e10 EPC ebike-specific chain. It’s a...

Sorry to be dense... which motor is in my 2018 Raleigh Redux?

I just put hexlox on my wheels. It was more expensive than I expected, as I had to replace the quick release axles completely. But my previous plan wasn’t working out- I’d bought a foldylock compact and a medium sized Kryptonite U lock. I figured between the 2 I could lock everything, but that...

Just want to recommend the iZip Moda, it’s a great bike and a killer price.

I’m 5’6” and have a small (2018 Redux, actually, but it’s the same bike.) it’s just a tad large for me. I think their bikes run large and suspect the Medium would be just fine for you. Also: that’s a really great deal on a bike I’m quite happy with (tho I paid $3K).

Hello Bicycle is a small shop on Beacon Hill that has zero attitude about ebikes (in a good way.) Tell Sam I sent you.

Black and Decker battery mower, small yard, no problems whatsoever. Love it.

I wish I could tell you I’d put 4000 miles on my Redux. No such luck. On the other hand, it remains trouble-free after 700 miles. I counseled a friend to buy a 2018 Moda last month at the fire-sale price of $2250- wish I’d gotten that deal. I still love the bike. Enjoy yours!

how’d you check your sw version?

No range estimate. I bought mine through a LBS, which hasn’t been terrifically helpful. Court has a video where he goes into the display in detail, and he menti9ns that its supposed to show a range estimate somehow but he doesn’t figure it out. I’d also like to see cadence, and distances in...

Thanks, Ravi! I was puzzled mostly because the Redux and Vado displays looked identical- maybe BLOKS just supplied the programming for the Vado version? Anyway, no matter. Yeah, I meant no slight to Bosch. The 2019 Redux is a very attractive bike at a very competitive price. If I didn’t have my...

So I’m very happy with my Brose powered 2018 Raleigh Redux. I particularly like the bright, removable Brose- labeled computer/display, which looked pretty damn identical to the displays on the 2017-18 Specialized Vado. Now I see that Raleigh has gone to Bosch for the 2019 Redux, which is a...

Congratulations- it’s a great bike. And spring is coming!

I’ve had my Redux for nearly a year and like it a lot (if you search for my posts I’ve reviewed it and discussed its +s & -s at some length.) Were I in your shoes, I wouldn’t hesitate to buy it again- I rented Vados twice and feel the Redux is very similar and in some significant ways a step up...
