    2021 R&M Packster

    Functional and easy on the eye. Another ace by R&M to add to that “nearing perfection” 2021 Homage that @David Berry posted just now.

    Powertube Covers

    Cheers Scott, for the close-up photos. From the detail you’ve shared, it looks like if it’s possible to remove those rivets, then the Transport Cover (without the bright alloy part) would fit over a none R&M Powertube. Up ‘til now I’ve been covering my additional bare Powertube with a Neoprene...

    2023 SuperLight R&M: Fantasy thread

    Jay, I think, for many the belt is a massive draw to R&M. Plus the suspension. Completely agree with you. Innovation marches on and hopefully more belt + suspension bikes appear. The Tern GSD for 2021 launched this week... with a belt, Rohloff and full suspension! All it would take is a major...

    2023 SuperLight R&M: Fantasy thread

    Already there! I completely agree. My brother’s 2020 Specialized Turbo Levo SL is an awesome bike. Compared to my 2020 Delite Rohloff GX: both full sus aluminium frames, tick. same Fox Float suspension, tick. similar energy capacity, 320Wh + 160Wh bottle cage extender = 480Wh usable... versus...

    2023 SuperLight R&M: Fantasy thread

    Heft. Tank. Handful. SUV. I hear those words time and again in R&M conversations. Yeah, but. All those kilos translate into a comfortable, solid and assured ride: great! Great if your terrain is smooth asphalt, flat or rolling. Great if you’re relatively active, relatively not ancient...

    Superdelite 2020 turning degrees

    Sorry to hear this issue caused an accident. Wonder how urgently R&M and your LBS will treat the issue now? Seems from your posts that you were riding and had an accident circa 2 weeks after raising issue with maker and retailer. Not a great look for either. Would have thought such a risk would...

    Vario vs Rohloff on Superdelite with GX option on steep fire roads/trails

    Thanks David. This is the best post I’ve read on EBR R&M forum in months. Your clear explanation of the Gear Ratio in metres is like a eureka moment. Now I finally understand. Every post on this forum cunjuring the benefits of the three drivetrain options should link back to your post here...

    Why pay the extra for R&M?

    Yup. Nevo3 looks already to be the 2021 bike. A load more belts on a load more brands would surprise me. You never know you might be tempted by an updated Homage... that looks ripe for a revamp. Don’t completely dismiss the Vario... I like it the best to ride (except on those 1 in 4s). Choices...

    Why pay the extra for R&M?

    You devil, going off topic 😲. But whatever... cheers Squaxor, that looks like a fab book... love the design. Hope you’re enjoying exploring your SE England world on the SD.

    Why pay the extra for R&M?

    Cheers Ian. Glad you’ve already had dealings with Piers. He’s always made it a fun experience. I find the belt idea so appealing. And the Vario is a terrific way of controlling the undulations in the route (the best). But I’ll tell you a bit more about my R&M world (missed out of the previous...

    Why pay the extra for R&M?

    Personally I’d value the Fiat the highest 🤣 ”Spend a little on cars, live a lot on eBikes”.

    Why pay the extra for R&M?

    Hi Ian. Small world. I’m local to you in South Lakeland. Love my 2020 R&M Delite. Regarding the rack: you could add the front rack option to give a bit more capacity. Got one on mine - really useful. Regarding is R&M worth the extra cash: That’s tricky. I guess you pay for what you value the...

    Greetings from NL fellow e-bike enthusiasts

    Cheers. It’s a start. Covid 19 and our new Prime Minister Boris are getting things moving. I really hope we follow your lead. This crazy car culture has to change.

    Petition to increase eBike speed to 20mph in the UK

    “The current of riders moves majestically at omafiets speed” Sounds like heaven to a Brit 🤣 I’m glad you got something excellent from the EU.

    Greetings from NL fellow e-bike enthusiasts

    Hi Jordy. Great to have you along. And good for you to add a perspective from The Netherlands. Oh, how I wish we had your cycling culture here in the UK. But things are starting to look up! We got our first dutch roundabout a couple of days ago. Hopefully the first seed of some proper...

    Petition to increase eBike speed to 20mph in the UK

    Cheers Stefan. Lets not necessarily agree, but be kind to each other. Good guy. 👍 I see Canada and the USA and Australia, and I see big wide open roads and speed speed speed. I look out the window in Britain and I see cluttered narrow, twisty, hilly roads, poor maintenance, awful fast drivers...

    Petition to increase eBike speed to 20mph in the UK

    Stefan, hi. I do agree 20mph is not speed pedelec. But if all eBikes had the ability to accelerate quickly to 20mph I think they would not mix as easily with other unassisted bikes. They would stand out from the crowd, they would attract ire. Yes they would blend with the young 20mph speed...

    Petition to increase eBike speed to 20mph in the UK

    Afraid my feelings on this go against the grain on comments so far. High speed ebikes already exist for those needing them and attract all the regulation hassle that goes with that higher speed. Please leave the limit at 15.5mph for regular eBikes so we can continue to peacefully go about our...
