    How Well Does YOUR E6000 Auto Shifting Perform On Hills?

    I run a Speedhub on our tandem and it's been bullet proof. I haven't used them, but there are electric shifting options for the Speedhub and I believe there's an auto shifting option in conjunction with Bosch motors.

    Steps E6000 W012 (torque) error -- fix & keep, or return?

    I'd like to hear more about the timing of the release of the bike and the firmware -- it sounds like you have the inside scoop there. But for anybody who hasn't read through this long post: - firmware was updated - per conversation with Shimano tech, crank position relative to the index mark...

    Raleigh Sprite IE Fixer Upper

    Hmmm is right. But the problem must lie in that clutch, no? Just based on the condition you're describing? Unless the motor is kicking in too severely, over-running your pedaling cadence, effectively advancing the large sprocket beyond the engagement point the clutch is currently locked into...

    Raleigh Sprite IE Fixer Upper

    Let's back this up a sec. I was rereading what you wrote originally, "The issue I'm having is that the crank slipping. When the bike is on a stand (battery and motor off) , and you spin the cranks with your hand, it turns the chain and moves the rear wheel, however, once you get on the bike and...

    Oops! Ended up with my 3rd Raleigh (2019 Detour iE)

    Hey, it's been a few weeks, here's an update. Excellent timing (pat on back) for the shelter in place. My wife gave me the stink-eye when I brought this bike home, but she's been riding it every weekend. She's even made a cross-town meal delivery. Other than the ridiculously wide saddle and...

    Raleigh Redux iE 2017 - monitor issue help needed

    Without a wiring diagram for the controller, it's a guess. But everything else is matched color to color, so my expectation is the same holds true for the orange wire. It's possible it came as you suggested, with two wires (orange and pink?) Sharing the same port. That looks like a very fine...

    Raleigh Redux iE 2017 - monitor issue help needed

    The connector that the pink wire goes into appears to have an orange wire coming out the other side.

    Raleigh Sprite IE Fixer Upper

    Cool find. Raleigh service has been more "miss" than "hit" for me on the three occasions I've contacted them. But it may be worth your while contacting Tranzx and seeing if they have any advice or diagrams they can share. http://www.tranzx.com/index.html#link_SERVICE I saw your other post so...

    Raleigh Detour IE 2019 Weird Bolt-On QR Dropouts...

    I don't suppose anybody here knows the reason behind this odd dropout design? I asked Raleigh, and they didn't give me any useful info! What we're looking at here is the tail end of a 2019 Detour IE. The spacing is 135mm, and the dropouts are slotted for a conventional 9mm quick release setup...

    Oops! Ended up with my 3rd Raleigh (2019 Detour iE)

    Yep, not to mention the overall aesthetic .The model started from a very refined looking purpose-built commuter with the carbon fork (mine, used, came with a cheesy suspension fork that I swapped for a very out-of-place looking Surly I had laying around). The 2019 has a 1990's...

    Shimano Steps E6000 inaccurate speedometer and odometer

    I've been through this, and it's just a matter of finding a shop that has the equipment. Shimano can help you with that. They're best reached by phone (800-423-2420). They've helped me with technical questions on a number of occasions and are very easy to reach, friendly and informative. With...

    Shimano Steps E6000 inaccurate speedometer and odometer

    Yep, unfortunately dealer assistance is required, and they'll need to do a log-in session with Shimano. This is because Shimano is heavy-handed in enforcement of the max speed limit for the market you're in. I have the eTube interface and in the report it generates, it lists chainring...

    Shimano E6100 occasional crank clunking noise and reverse rotation of chain wheel

    I haven't come across any exploded view diagrams. I think Shimano intends these to be unservicable. What puzzles me is that, pedaling forward, whatever clutch or pawl is engaged to turn the chainring should stay engaged, so I can't imagine it releasing and re-engaging at a certain point in each...

    Shimano E6100 occasional crank clunking noise and reverse rotation of chain wheel

    This isn't of much help, but whatever clutch mechanism Shimano built into the E6100 is as close to instant and silent as I can detect. I'm playing with it, and am seeing close clearances between the chainring and chainstay, as well as between the crank arm and the adapter ring. I'd be looking...

    Shimano E6100 occasional crank clunking noise and reverse rotation of chain wheel

    Besides the clunking (when pedaling forward), are there any other symptoms? Such as binding or drag?

    Oops! Ended up with my 3rd Raleigh (2019 Detour iE)

    If I have one issue to pick with Raleigh, it's a lack of consistency. They'll change up a drive unit from one year to the next. So my 2015 Misceo with a Shimano mid-drive morphed into a SunTour hub drive in 2019. Maybe this just doesn't matter over the course of time, but I think this is a...

    Oops! Ended up with my 3rd Raleigh (2019 Detour iE)

    I was looking forward to NOT buying a Raleigh from Bicycle Bluebook in San Jose. I already bought a 26" Redux from them for my older son, and a Misceo iE for myself (https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/steps-e6000-w012-torque-error-fix-keep-or-return.29480/). Anyway, a nice, 500-mile...

    How Safe and Practical is the Used E-Bike Market :

    My 2¢ and a single buyer data point: I bought a low mile Raleigh Misceo iE from Bicycle Blue Book (same seller as the Detour iE mentioned by Dewey). It checked out great on the test ride but I ended up faced with a motor replacement due to a faulty torque sensor that only showed up when I got it...
