    Possible to convert an Enviolo to a Rohloff?

    I also live in a very flat city (good thing) so don't really need the super low gears for climbing that both the Enviolo and the Rohloff have - just need the higher end for faster speeds :) I have a Rohloff in my other bikepacking bike (non electric) and love it - it's simply they're not that...

    Possible to convert an Enviolo to a Rohloff?

    @Chazmo It's a Riese & Muller SuperCharger 2. There is no room between the frame and the chainring for a larger front chain ring, as posted earlier, I could go 1 tooth smaller on the rear sprocket but that won't significantly change things. Whilst some others have said they have been able to get...

    Possible to convert an Enviolo to a Rohloff?

    Quite likely. What was noticeable was I was moving much closer to the speed of cars, so was being over taken less which I hear in theory keeps you safer...if you can be moving at aprox the same speed as traffic there is a reduced chance of an 'incident' ;)

    Possible to convert an Enviolo to a Rohloff?

    Ok - so I thought I'd borrow my Dad's new HS Rohloff MultiCharger and do my 5km work commute (albeit on a Saturday) and compare it with a random normal commute on my HS Enviolo SuperCharger 2. This was the "work in" on the HS Rohloff - note the max speed of 42.3kph and average speed of 33.2kph...

    Possible to convert an Enviolo to a Rohloff?

    LOL - so I rode my Dad's new HS Rohloff Multicharger last night - amazing bike, just a dream to get to 40kph+ with the additional resistance/gearing of the Rohloff compared to my Enviolo. Now that my 2020 SC 2 is out of warranty I've asked the LBS whether they think it woudl be possible to add...

    Transporting Cargo eBikes (specially Dutch style)

    Quick update on this - my Dad got his new HS Rohloff Multicharger this week. Took it for a ride last night - great bike. He's able to get this on his existing Thule bikerack and he's going to build a box for his dog to go on the back with a MIK adaptor to secure it... will take a photo once done.

    2026 R&M Models video overview from Propel

    Ahh ok that makes sense. My dad's new Multicharger Mixte HS Rohloff arrives next month I think so I'll be keen to take that for a spin and compare/contrast with my SC2!

    Sorry, what does BES3 & RE mean in this context ?

    2026 R&M Models video overview from Propel

    I just skimmed through this: The Charger is looking good and retains the most traditional bike lines. I’ve got a 2021 SuperCharger 2 … no sign of that being upgraded!!? Some of these bikes are really “out there” in terms of design look and feel! Ant that stand out guys?

    Hypotheticals - would you replace your R&M with another R&M??

    I was asked this week whether I would replace my R&M with another one (just ticked over 15km, paint job on frame showing some wear and tear having been locked up to a range of different objects!) A BIG draw card for me is Gates carbon belt drives and there doesn’t seem to be a heap of other...

    5000km Anniversary for SuperCharger 2

    Hit the 15,000km mark today, ironically biking back from the LBS where I bought the bike. I had gone to my "other" LBS where I get my gravel bike serviced to buy a Rohloff Oil change kit and had parked my SC2 out front - somehow it managed to fall over and the kickstand on the SC2 snapped in the...

    Hypotheticals - would you replace your R&M with another R&M??

    not available in my part of the world either (New Zealand) - interesting to see a higher end eBike using a hub drive (based off the pics) vs a mid-drive with Bosch etc. Did that create quite a different feel when riding compared to your SuperDelite? I've only ever ridden a few cheap hub drive...

    Hypotheticals - would you replace your R&M with another R&M??

    Yeah, I'm not a fan of the new looks either. I helped my Dad look for a new eBike after his Specialized Como 4 was stolen recently. He originally liekd the look of the Tern GSD but didn't like how it rode. He looked at a couple of the Benno eBikes before he settled on a R&M MultiCharger Mixte HS...
