    Is this Busch & Müller "Eyc 42/6V" the voltage range?

    I have this 7 year old B+M Lumotec headlight and on the side I thought it was indicating Eyc 42 model that runs on 6 volts. Now after websearching I'm not positive but am thinking I'm mistaken, that this is an Eyc model indicating it is good for 6V to 42V. I initially installed this on a...

    Shimano EP8 Turning ON Headlight Button Config...

    Hey-O! My latest display, a Shimano SC7000, doesn't have a dedicated headlight button. Supposedly Shimano has a way to turn on the headlight by long-pressing the "assist up" aka the Y button, according to various sources. When I plug in my laptop and run e-Tube software, there is no dropdown...

    Cargo Conversion from Analog to e-bike: How Much Low Gear to Give Up?

    This is a gearing question, or hopefully more a discussion, but first there's a lead-in. For my upcoming project: For the past 8 years I've been running a un-electric cargo bike consisting of an Xtracycle Leap cargo conversion and a Rohloff Speedhub. I've used this bike to tow my kids' bikes...

    Updating Locked Shimano EP8 Motor to US-Region / Speed De-Restriction to 28 MPH+ using eMax Tuning...

    Crib Notes Summary: A walk-thru of my unlocking a Taiwan-region Shimano EP8 motor, purchased from an overseas vendor via AliExpress. The motor is speed-restricted to 16 MPH and 400W. Firmware version is 4.1.8 and is software-locked, preventing Shimano USA tech support being able to switch it to...

    Felt Sport-E 50 Commuter Conversion / Shimano EP8 / Alfine Di2 Hub...

    (Formerly titled Shimano E8000 + ... Alfine 8? Rohloff Speedhub?) I thought I was all set. I retired my get-around street bike, a 2017 Raleigh Misceo ie with an E6000 motor (link) and an 8-speed Alfine with electric Di2 shifting. I kept the Misceo's rear wheel & Alfine, and outfitted the bike...

    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)

    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 Well Does YOUR E6000 Auto Shifting Perform On Hills?

    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...

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

    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...
