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...

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...

I thought I was all set. I retired my get-around street bike, a 2017 Raleigh Misceo ie with an E6000 motor and an 8-speed Alfine with electric Di2 shifting. I kept the Misceo's rear wheel & Alfine, and outfitted the bike with a 9 speed derailleur prior to sale. It's done and gone. The...

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...

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...
