I'm a little disappointed. (...but just a little --I expected this would be the outcome.) I bought a second-hand Shimano SM-PCE02 interface to connect my PC to the E6000 motor, hoping to find an additional auto shift setting. It doesn't seem to exist. As I poke through the various pages of...

Lando, I was poking through Shimano's tech manual for this motor. The one obvious difference that jumped out at me is the interface for the headlight and taillight connection. It appears your cargo bike has integrated lights? This motor uses screw terminals for power rather than the eTube...

Maybe, brake type could be important. A "Coaster Brake" is the type where you put force on the pedals in the reverse rotation, which via the chain engages a brake mechanism built in to the rear hub. It would be most important if your bike uses a coaster brake. The normal E6000 (disc brake, rim...

If you read through my recent thread, you'll see that programming is necessary but you'll have to find a bike shop with the eTubes setup, and they'll have to do an online session with Shimano to set all of the motor's parameters...

That's the unit that "caps" the Alfine and performs the shifting magic, yes? I don't know which model my Misceo iE uses, but I'm guessing the MU-S705 based on pictures I'm pulling up. Though I'm curious what difference you're noticing, since it's still the system (the computer inside the drive...

I think I'm going to press ahead and see if I can tune this into something usable. I found a page on Shimano's site that eggs me on: https://bike.shimano.com/en-US/information/news/automatic-gear-shifting-upgrade-for-ebikes-with-shimano-steps-an.html ...and then there's this Shimano-produced...

So now that I have my Raleigh Misceo iE re-motored and up-and-running, I'm noticing the same unsatisfactory auto shifting behavior that I observed on the original motor, which had a faulty torque sensor. For background, this bike is running the Shimano Alfine 8-speed hub, and uses Di2...

Oh, yeah, I don't want to come off as unhappy about the outcome. Just an interesting journey. This edition of the Misceo is nearly perfect for me. Right form factor, relatively lightweight at 42 lbs., decent parts spec, and Di2 shifting on an Alfine hub (I'm an internal gear hub geek). I mean...

KEEP IT! So that's the answer to the question I originally posed in the title of this thread five months ago. This morning I reassembled everything and took it out for a climb up into the Oakland hills and to run a few errands. No errors, all well, it seems I have myself my first working...

I could be wrong, but I think Motostrano f****d me. I made an appointment with Bob at Livermore Cyclery (Livermore location). He talked to Shimano Tech beforehand, and got up to speed on my situation and what I wanted to do (program the new motor), so he was prepared when I walked in the door...

I don't know if you've heard the news, but Motostrano closed its doors last week. At least, that's according to the email they sent out. That's too bad -- they had a really impressive fleet in their showroom, but I also suspected they were mis-managed. They had my bike for an awful long time...

I know it's been a minute... Motostrano called me after two weeks with the bike you say Shimano tech wanted him to pull the motor, check connections, and that it might total two hours of labor. So I called Shimano, explained exactly what was up, and they said No, I only needed a 15 minute "log...

Just to keep this thread updated... I picked up a "new" E6050 motor from a SoCal bike shop that purportedly came off of a damaged frame. Thankfully (maybe?) it's marked at a 20 MPH unit, as most of the motors I see on eBay are derated 25 KMH. Although I conferred by phone with a Shimano...

Follow-up notes: I called the second ebike shop, Motostrano in Redwood City. Their tech concurs with Shimano that there's not much they can do with this error code other than replace the motor. Bummer that these boxes can't be opened up and serviced. He'd charge me about $65 to program the new...

I picked up a Redux 26 for my 10 year old, which I converted to an Alfine 8 hub and outfitted with shorter cranks. I was impressed enough with the value proposition that I picked up a used Raleigh Misceo iE for myself that I'm mostly happy with.

I purchased a Raleigh Misceo with a Steps E6000 drive and about 500 miles on it from BicycleBlueBook in San Jose. I'm deciding whether to fix and keep it, or thanks to their friendly store policy, return it. The test ride on the flat streets of the San Jose business park went well enough and...
