Yes in Nannup. Only about 2 to 3 hours drive from me, so close by :)

Australia would like to have a word :) One of my shorter bikepacking rides - 702 km, 80% gravel :) Which way? That way. by Andrew Priest, on Flickr

I do not have a known 'real range' on my Riese and Müller Supercharger, which has a 1,250-watt battery capacity, but I work on a safety margin of 150 kilometres when planning bikepacking rides.

I managed to do this the other weekend, too. I suspect that you have pressed the rocker buttons on the right-hand side of the device. IIRC pressing the bottom one should bring you back to where you want to be,

My drive unit may or may not be an outlier. Discussion at https://forums.electricbikereview.com/threads/riese-and-muller-supercharger-bosch-and-a-new-motor.59398/

I did say that to Leigh and the LBS. Not sure he saw the funny side but :)

Another week, another update. Got a phone call today. It seems that at least one battery needs to be replaced, and so that is now with Bosch re a warranty claim. Apparently,, it is killing the system as soon as it is fitted, but there are no error codes. I believe that the other battery is...

Thanks, Stefan. That helps translate Specialised range measurements, which are in hours; five hours without the range extender and 6+ hours with.

Do you use a range extender battery on this bike? I am curious as to what you estimate the range is without a range extender battery?

An update: Some positive news, but some not so positive news as well. Below is the update email from the LBS owner who is based in Melbourne, Victoria. At least the drive unit and Nyon are covered by warranty.

Here is a cattle grid out in the outback ... rather pointless at the time as the floods had wiped out the fences.

For interest's sake, these are the reports I got from the LBS when the bike had its first service in 2024.

Thinking about this. I have previously asked for a diagnostic report after its first service, and they were reluctant to give it to me. Apparently, Bosch does not like them doing that; well, that is what I was told, so I suspect my chances are slim this tme around.

Would it be correct to say that the display features are native to a Garmin head unit?

I find my Wahoo Trackr is effective with vehicles. However, with bicycles I would estimate a 99% non-dection rate. I do ride shared paths frequently where there are many cyclists, and it rarely detects them. So, in my experience, a failure on that aspect. Mind you, I have no credible evidence of...
