    RM Changes for 2022

    They are a very minor player in US, from what I see. In the bay area, where there a lot of ebikes, its gazelle, van moofs, radpower, and few others. R&M is a unicorn.

    Supercharger 2

    I was quoted $2,000 to upgrade from derailleur to belt system, and it sounded like it will be a major undertaking.

    Supercharger 2

    I have supercharger2 with derailleur, purchased June 2020. It rides great, very stable, shifts smoothly and looks fantastic. I live in the San Francisco Bay area and my rides are usually 60+miles, longest covering 100 miles, range determined by how fast you ride as well as the mode you are in...

    How to Prevent Flat Tires on Electric Bikes

    I had two flats now in 6 months of riding in the Bay Area and chose to install Tannus Armour puncture protection inserts. Not sure if the ride is a bit different with these inserts. Will see how it goes on longer distances.

    The first 1200 miles on Riese and Muller Supercharger 2

    Yes, I did buy it from Newwheel. They had mine in stock and got it June of this year. They have been good to me so far. I purchased their $250/year maintenance plan. I think it's worth, will see. There are so many great places to ride around here. Marine headlands is another favorite, as well as...

    Coffee and E-biking, my two favorite combined things to do

    coffee caused cramps in my calves when i swam. it actually chelates calcium and is certainly not good for long distance rides.

    My Supercharger 2 Charging Port Flap falls off and is difficult to put back in place.

    I ripped mine off and left the port exposed. Its totally worthless and shame that a 8K+ bike has a rubber flap that easily comes off and is difficult to close. I am taking my bike for tune up and will ask them if just leaving the port open is OK.

    The first 1200 miles on Riese and Muller Supercharger 2

    2500 miles later 2500 miles update guys. Nothing changed. The bike is rock solid. I am comfortable now changing gears without putting too much pressure on the chain, the batteries show no decrease in range, I have become more accustomed in using Eco to extend range and the longest ride was 100...

    Do you charge your Bosch 500w battery to 100% With your Bosch standard charger? If not, why not?

    I always charge to 100%. I need my batteries to last as I ride 60 miles minimum.

    It's fire season again

    Drove by Santa Rosa few months ago. Huge homes replaced homes that burnt few years ago. And the fires now are burning close to Santa Rosa. Why is the state allowing rebuilding in areas that are clearly at risk for recurrent fires. It's like rebuilding homes in a flood plain. The gov should...

    Bosch's Ebike connect

    What I like about this app is that it gives me access to data on how much power I exerted as compared to how much I was assisted. Unfortunately the app wants continuous access to my locations and doesnt allow iphone option to have access to my location only when app is in use. Bosch needs to...
