All of which can be controlled through the handlebar mounted remote on the left side. The easy to read screen lets you know battery life, current speed, trip data, overall odometer, time, and the assist mode. Once powered up, you’re presented with necessary data through the Brose head unit. The bike has four levels of assist – completely human powered, Eco, Tour, and Sport which is the highest. Measuring 496.8Wh, the battery claims to deliver 35-80 miles of range, though if you’re a speed demon like me who runs on Sport mode all the time, you’ll see the lower end of that spectrum.
It would be nice if Raleigh added a magnet somewhere to the bike to keep the cap while charging, or simply added a leash. The charging port cap is not attached, so don’t lose it while you’re adding juice. The charger reads yellow when charging, green when fully charged, or red if there’s an issue.
The power button it simple on/off affair, and the charging port is also very simple – line up the plug and let the magnets do the work. On the 36V li-ion battery itself (which is locked into the frame with a key), you’ll find the power button and the magnetic charging port. It gets there with a 250W motor with 90Nm of torque. In the U.S., the Redux IE is a Class 3 Pedalec meaning it only provides assistance while you are pedaling and it will assist up to 28 mph. Not only does this make the bike look better, it also helps to keep the weight low for better handling and allows for a single bottle cage inside the front triangle. At the higher end, you’ll find bikes like the Redux IE which combine a Brose motor with the battery integrated into the down tube. When it comes to their e-bikes, Raleigh (and iZip) take a multi-faceted approach towards motors and batteries.
RALEIGH REDUX FREE
In the mean time, the company sent over the 2017 version which is still available through their website (and discounted with free shipping!). Raleigh may have already shown the 2018 Redux IE at Interbike, but we were too excited to ride one to wait.
