In between jobs so time for some gardening, glad to have the old and trusty Bob yak at hand to get the stuff to the municipality waste area. Always get some funny looks showing up with such a load with a bicycle. With the bike it is even faster than by car. I can ride in almost a straight line...

Indeed same what I heard from my sources... The guys in Arnhem are also not sure what is going to happen to the business unit here.... Sales is currently stabilizing, some markets are still very poor (southern Europe) where the German an Benelux markets are picking up again. Nordics are also...

We use on the Vado and the other E-Bikes a combination of a ringlock (which is mandatory for the insurance) and a secondary lock which is most cases is a chain lock or for a few bikes a folding lock. Pro for the chain locks is that they are more robust and easier to get around an object, con is...

Exactly thats indeed how I now Bosch from the OEM side. Also when Bosch doesn't help usually R&M would also try to help in those cases. We had a few cases where we stepped in when the OE didn't stand behind their product and responsibilities, so we did the right thing.

We had a small lunch in Basel.... Costs more than a full supper in France....

Riding in three countries in one day, France, Switzerland and Germany. Had some luck with the weather and some good post ride grilling.

The bolt thats through the drive unit. You would need to either fidle through the chainring with long tools or take the chain ring of the spider

Thats the chaincatcher From this thread https://forums.electricbikereview.com/threads/chain-came-off-vado-sl-4.56419/

For the dropped chain, get a proper high low chainring for single-11 use or get the sl1 chaincatcher for the Creo SL (you will need some spacers to mount it correctly) like I did. My partner has a 10 speed Shimano drivetrain (was produced a few months earlier) and never dropped her chain, while...

Bikes having a rest day in the Vosges mountain area

Tilt the cage towards, push the lock button and lean the cage against the locking pall. When you tilt the cage forward again the lock will release
