Thanks for the feedback. Yes, the menu is empty on the mobile version of the site and I don't know why that is, but the "categories" at the bottom do link to all the individual posts - probably just my poor setting up of the site. Same for the laptop/ desktop version, where "categories" and...

Good point. I did look at cargo/ container vessels - there's even a NZ website that specializes in arranging passage on them, but I was told that has all dried up since COVID. That was a while ago, so maybe I should look at that again. Thanks

Thanks. Sorry to foul up the thread. Cheers

No, not been cycling in NZ yet. Because the batteries aren't allowed on the plane, I've been looking for a cheap ocean cruise I can get on and take my bike with me. Not cheap at all!, and doesn't seem like I can break the cruise to get off, cycle, and get back on again, but I've not given up...

Sure, Peter, thanks for your interest. I've got plenty of pictures that you can look at that are already on the web. You can see all the various set-ups. I've been posting my trips on my blog site that I called < www.ebiketraveller.site >. I've been cycle touring 6-8 months a year since...

My latest R&M Supercharger GX Rohloff is getting a bit tired now, so am thinking about my next eBike and returned to this forum to get some ideas. I've come a bit late to the thread, but thought I'd add my experiences anyway. I started my long-distance eBike touring in Australia in early 2017...

Nyon MY21 Bluetooth connection to iPhone. Did you get any resolution finally, JPA, with your iPhone Bluetooth connection issue? I hope so, because it's been a while ago now since you posted about it, but anyway I had the same problem in October that took me two months to resolve (and two months...

That is true. FAIV explicitly stated the buyer bears responsibility for customs clearance, though also said they provide the necessary customs declaration forms for me to fill out, and that they've had no issues or additional duties on similar deliveries.

I wrote to them and they said I could buy direct from them (€220) and they would deliver to Australia.

I might get some of that tape!

It's old news now, I know, but just letting you know I had very similar experiences with the rear rack breaking as you. In fact I needed 3 replacement racks in 5,000km. The problem were cracking across the back-stay welds and also the top connector plate. Like for you, my planned tour...

Yes, I have fitted one to my Supercharger GX with AION forks. I didn't do the fitting, but it fits and works just fine - after 15,000 km it is still perfectly ok - though the load does sit a little high up and takes some getting used to. I carry only maybe 8-10 kg max total in the two Ortleib...

Exactly the same thing happened to one of mine, after 12 months and about 8,000 km. Bosch were very good and changed it over free of any cost. That was after they had received and tested the dud one, which took 2 weeks. In the meantime, because I was on a road trip, I had to buy a new one...

Hi. I'm sure you'll just love the Delite! I've owned both the Delite and Supercharger in Rohloff GX versions. I travelled 15,000 kilometres on the Delite before it got stolen, and replaced it with a Supercharger which has done 7,000 km so far. With both bikes it has mostly been fully loaded...

No, I have had no direct communication with R&M either. Everything was handled via my German bike shop, who were excellent. A lot of close coordination was required though, as the problems occurred in France, and R&M were the only ones who had a technical person who could speak enough French...
