    Good luck with your purchase.

    Superdelite purchase

    It’s a strength thing. Grinding down and smoothing those welds may look better (I quite like the industrial look personally) but it seriously can degrade the strength of the weld. For a relatively heavy e-bike that I ride on MTB single track, function over form is important. The Superdelite...

    Superdelite purchase

    Sorry, I meant Fox is a substantial improvement over Suntour - hope that makes it clear. A closer look on the Nicolai site will show higher quality components than provided by R&M at a comparable price. Take the Hope cranks, something I changed to on my R&M aftermarket (to the Hope 155mm...

    Superdelite purchase

    I have ridden both R&M with standard Suntour and Fox, and Fox is more than an incremental improvement. I don't think I will ever get a non R&M bike without Fox - well I probably will with the Homage my next purchase which I will add Fox post factory. Off road they are night and day. On road...

    What mileage are you getting on your Multicharger 750wh battery?

    Ouch, that is a lot of extra weight to carry! I am pretty sure an exponential curve is involved - more power needed per unit as the weight increases. On my old Vario Delight (my first e-bike) I regularly checked actual against estimated range with the Bosch range assistant, and as an 85kg rider...

    A Few Questions from a Prospective Riese and Müller Buyer

    WARNING! I loved my Delight Vario Fox so much I kept running out of range (older 500wh battery than yours) so I got a Superdelight Mountain instead :) Its a great bike, and I hope it too lures you our more often for longer. Congratulations.

    Changing crank length and primary gear reduction on Rohloff/Gates equipped 2021 Homage GT with Class-1 CX Gen-4 motor.

    A sad case of over tuned risk management controlling under tuned customer service.

    What mileage are you getting on your Multicharger 750wh battery?

    Hi PDL. The weight of the rider makes a massive difference to the mileage one can get. A 75kg rider will greatly out distance a 100kg rider. Bosch's ebike range calculator, as indicated above, is reliable and your best source of information for your situation. It helped me loose 5kg when I...

    2021–2022 Riese & Müller Homage

    I’d love to hear how it rides after the “upgrade”. I think the one remaining upgrade the Homage needs to make it the PERFECT bike is a Fox upgrade option. I have twice nearly pulled the trigger on upgrading my wife’s Homage with Fox as a surprise present. But if I am being honest it is...

    Nice air in the shot of the Delite Mountain - it looked a tad bigger than the recommended jump height (30cm from memory) 😎

    Homage 2 month review

    The Homage (wife’s) is such a plush ride, more so than my Superdelite Mountain. I only wish the Homage came with the Fox upgrade like my Superdelite. You definitely sit like a king on a Homage. NicolaI MTB produce a Rohloff shifter dropper bar/adapter for the E14. That might help with a more...

    That’s an interesting upgrade for the Packster. I wonder how much it will canabalise the sales of the Load? Maybe this is deliberate and the Load is on its way out?

    Rohloff e-14 oil leak

    Let us know if you notice an increase in noise coming from your hub. That is what the extra oil is supposed to be for. With an oil change due, I’m interested in the answer.

    Reduced eBike range in *really* cold weather?

    Hi Sam, I notice around a 20% decrease in range between summer and winter.

    Load 75, Rohloff vs Vario vs Touring model

    For the load, go Rohloff or touring. Vario is a great system, but I am guessing not the best for a cargo bike, especially with a load on.

    Hi

    Putting shorter cranks on will help too - I have 155mm cranks on mine. https://www.hopetech.com/products/drivetrain/cranksets/e-bike-crank/
