Hi all. My Steps e6100 display has become so faint that it's difficult to read. Can anyone tell me the procedure for replacing it? Des the new unit just slot in or does it need matching to the particular application? Will I lose my total mileage data? Many thanks.

Thanks!

Hi all. The E6000 motor seems to be at or near the end of its production run (you can still find some for sale) and I note the maker of my e-tandem is now installing the E6100. I enquired whether if/when my motor dies it would be possble to upgrade to an E6100, and, of course, the answer is no...

I agree absolutely about how annoying it is that Shimano have introduced a 630Wh battery that is not compatible with any of the previous systems. So much so that I would probably not purchase another Shimano equipped bike. At least Bosch give you a choice of different batteries with each motor...

This thread corrresponds exactly with my experience-the auto works ok on level or gently undulating terrain but on steeper climbs it gets stuck, or changes the wrong way and the hub emits slightly worrying grating sounds. As mine is fitted to a tandem , I wondered whether it behaved better on...

I put up some pictures of our Circe Helios STEPS tandem elsewhere on this forum. It's a 20' tandem which makes it very easy to transport (fits INSIDE a small hatchback) and gives a low stepover height. We just completed a tour of the Austrian Lakes district on it and it performed very well...

Hi-I replied above but I may not have have clicked the right button for you to get an alert

Schwalbe have a section on tyre pressures on their website, which has an English language option. The Big Ben is categorised as "e-bike ready" so should be up to the job. Exploding tyres can be caused by overheating the rims by dragging the brakes on long descents, especially on tandems. In...

Thanks, Robie. The great thing about Austria (and Germany) is that you ride for about 80% of the time on dedicated cyclepaths so it really is safe.

Hi KathrynC, Amazingly, as the Circe has 20' wheels,and both handlebars are quick-release, it goes into the back of our small Citroen car. However, that probably doesn't help you. There is a specific tandem rack, which we are considering buying to free up space in the car- it's American-this...

Here's something you may not have seen! Our tandem from Circe Cycles, England. in this pic we are on the 10 lakes tour in Austria, based around Salzburg. The bike makes a very comfortable tourer and enabled us to climb everything on the route!

The Alfine is not immune to hunting noisily occasionally, and while with a derailleur a tweak to the lever will sort it, with the Alfine you have to wait for it to sort itself out. The idea of the automatic system cutting power to facilitate changes seems to work most of the time, but as I...

I've got the steps with Alfine rear hub, and I'm not entirely happy with it. It works ok for pottering around on level ground, but on more challenging terrain it has shortcomings. On sudden steep rises it sometimes refuses to change down or even shifts up, leaving you struggling. It also favours...
