Thanks! I’m glad you liked it :) the weight would be one of the bigger factors, but the aerodynamics are also slightly different. It would take a little more effort from the rider, but I think with the Gen 4 speed motor it won’t be too much of a difference because the way the power curve is...

Sorry about the delay. This is compatible with all Bosch US motors except bikes with E-Shift. In Europe it’s not possible to fit in Speed pedelecs due to regulations. I made a slight edit to my post to correct myself based on new positive information. Gen 2 - current CX, Speed and Performance...

Thanks so much! I really appreciate that! I’ll definitely keep this in mind and we should maybe connect next time I’m in town. Please let me know if you have any constructive criticism as I certainly welcome that and we are still just learning. Good question. The Gen 4 CX and Speed are...

Technically this is possible, but you would need new software to do it. Keep in mind they use the same frames for all configurations of their bikes.

Thanks! Kate is an awesome lady and it’s grear to be able to help tell her story. She has had that Load for a couple years now I think so it’s an older frame. I’m going to ask about that soft box. The mirror is called a Zefal Spy Mirror. It’s not currently available in the states but you should...

Yes!!! More of this @uppity cyclist :) Happy to help!

I have to apologize as I realize I’m getting a little excited about this topic. I hope you don’t take offense to my comments.

It is possible to carry a trailer with the Homage or Delite. We have several customers that lock their Load outside with good locks and a cover. One specifically on the sidewalk and it works great for her and her kids. I’ve ridden a Load for years in the biggest city in NY so I’m intimately...

I totally agree! It’s my personal favorite bike. It’s a real car replacement and it’s super comfortable and stable. You can’t park a car on the sidewalk but you can with this. Cars also still get stuck in traffic, even when they’re electric. This bike happens to be one of the more popular bike...

This is the new Riese & Müller Load for 2020. It’s frame has been completely redesigned to include the Generation 4 Bosch Cargoline motor, a belt drive and it’s now available with the Rohloff. I’m very excited about this bike as it has some great improvements from last year. I hope you enjoy...

Our original shop is in Brooklyn NY and we recently opened a store in Long Beach CA. Our website is propelbikes.com. It might be a little weird right now though as we are switching many models to the 2020 versions right now.

Thanks for the kind words. I’m really just getting started so it’s always nice to hear feedback. I’ve been in the industry for about 8 years and I have two shops. I’m really grateful to be in the ebike industry. I still have a lot to learn, but I’m happy to be able to share what I have learned...

I had the privilege of meeting up with Jocelyn at the new Bosch Ebike Systems Headquarters for North America to learn more about the updates 2020 Bosch updates. Many new exciting changes including the Bosch Generation 4 motors, addition of the Cargo Line as well as the new Smartphone Hub with...

I recently did a walkthrough on the Smartphone Hub at the new Bosch Headquarters in California. I hope you guys enjoy it. One thing to note which wasn’t super clear on the video, this is only compatible with Gen 3 and 4 motors. Edit: this is available on Gen 2 motors as an upgrade as well. It’s...

If your headset was previously loose and ridden that way for some time it’s possible that the headset bearing became compressed and needs to be replaced. Have you used the 33mm (I think that’s the size) wrenches to tighten the compression underneath the stem? You’ll also need to tighten the...

Some frames are also made in Portugal, but many of them are made at their partners facility in Taiwan.

I recently produced a video with my friend Catrin from R&M. It's a story of how she uses her Load to commute to work. I was very inspired and I hope this video inspires others to consider how they get around. I look forward to sharing more of these stories in the future to help others see...

I’m excited to share this little video we did with our friend Pita! She recently embarked on a cross country trip on her ebike. She’s riding a Riese & Müller Nevo GX Rohloff HS unsupported. We plan to do a part two video next month when she gets to Brooklyn.

Thanks! I always appreciate your feedback. The Tinker is a personal favorite of mine particularly for riding around town. It’s super nimble and fun.

I recently published this video of the Moustache Samedi 27 X2 Tandem and figured I would share here. It’s a Bosch powered electric tandem capable of varied terrain. This one is the trekking version but it’s also available as a mountain version. It’s quite a cool bike and a blast to ride! I hope...
