    Superdelite 2020 turning degrees

    Steve. I see the SD has an Acros Blocklock headset, albeit customised for the adjustable stem possibly. My Load 60 had a similar asymmetrical issue from new. Chris Nolte and Dblhelix helped out on this thread...

    Removing rear wheel with belt drive...puncture avoidance and field flat repair strategies

    Hi chaps. Yup, I’ve also seen a couple on YouTube. Here’s a link to the most recent I remember. Soz... my Flemish isn’t that good 🤪. But a picture says a thousand words as they say. Mike. PS. The chap sorts out the Vario at 12.15 and the Rohloff at 15.40

    Superdelite Framelock ?

    Hi chaps. R&M already fit a frame lock to the Load which now has a similar swing arm to the Delite/Superdelite. Here’s a photo from the R&M website. Obviously it’s got extra brackets to take the lock, but it gives an idea of the thought they’ve already put into it. David, sounds like a great...

    Link to their Facebook page is at the bottom of the R&M website homepage. https://www.facebook.com/rieseundmueller Just checked. That 2021 comment was 15 May. Here it is

    2021 Models

    I read in a post on here somewhere recently: The 2021 models will be live on the R&M website in early September. This appeared in a company reply to a customer on the R&M Facebook page in May sometime. Hope I remember that right and I’m not feeding you duff info.

    Low Battery Cutout for Bosch Gen4?

    William, your patience and staying power are admirable. Thanks for such a thorough explanation. I get it!!! Reserve setting for eShift is not adjustable. Reserve setting for lights is adjustable down to 3W. But the Wh released for assist is negligible. Simples! Thanks for answering all my...

    Low Battery Cutout for Bosch Gen4?

    Hmmmmm? Huh, thanks Mr Helix. Maybe instead I should focus more on Geography... Physics just ain’t going in. 😂😂😂 Impressive maths there. But how do I max out the assist by reducing the 10% reserve?

    Low Battery Cutout for Bosch Gen4?

    Oh heck. Whoosh. That just went completely over my head. Got a slight sweat on, a bit like those physics exams all those years ago 🤪. It. Has. To. Be. Really. Simple. For me to compute this. So here goes: Simple answer... can I leave the lights alone at full power always on, just as the...

    Low Battery Cutout for Bosch Gen4?

    Hey William. Thanks for your excellent reply. That’s great that the dealer can reduce the reserve watts down to 3 watts. My school physics learning was way too many decades ago to remember much about Wh, watts, volts and amps and the younger me was pretty rubbish even then. But in old bloke...

    Low Battery Cutout for Bosch Gen4?

    Hi William. Perhaps you could cast some light on Chris’s comment above that the reserve amount may in future be user configurable. My senario: my 2020 R&M Delite Rohloff has single 500Wh Powertube and unfortunately I got a shock on my first ride out... motor cut out at 10% remaining and was...

    Shipping an R&M Delite direct to customer

    Thanks Mountaindweller. Yup, too clean. Shame to get it mucky. But this Lockdown clean air and little rain is keeping it looking good. We are doing fine over here in the west, although seems Barrow is one of the UK hotspots... keeping away! Hope you are getting plenty of NY Moors miles in, now...

    Out of interest, is the 625 in the top tube or the down tube?

    Moustache Samedi 27 Xroad FS 7 2020 v.s. R&M Delite GT vario

    Hi Ragheb Sounds like you’ve got a great part of the world to explore. I’ve never seen or riden a Moustache Samedi FS Xroad. But I have seen the YouTube reviews. GREAT bike. For me, the biggest downer about that bike is the chain and derailleur. Like you, I have quiet roads and epic...

    Spare POWERTUBE for Delite 2020: switching that rubber cover?!!!

    Heck Steve. You certainly do sound like you like tinkering! Will be impressive if you can pull it off. A top tube phone mount sounds a whole lot slicker than the vulnerable phone perched out in front of the handle bars. And much better protected. As you like tinkering: maybe you are a good...

    Shipping an R&M Delite direct to customer

    Happy ending. Despite lockdown and being 3 hours of prohibited driving from my bike shop, it’s arrived. What. A. Machine. Wow. Good on R&M for continuing to produce amazing eBikes in difficult circumstances. Good on Cycle Heaven, York UK and particularly co-founder Piers for operating in...

    Powertube Covers

    On a thread I just started, member Scott Eakin says he has ordered one of these now available Transport Covers from his dealer in the US. https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/spare-powertube-for-delite-2020-switching-that-rubber-cover.33299/ My interest in the Transport Cover is to...

    Spare POWERTUBE for Delite 2020: switching that rubber cover?!!!

    Scott. Think you could be on to something there. The Transport Cover possibly has the same rubber cover and stiffener as the regular Powertube cover, but with an additional structure to lock in. Remove that lock in part and it might slot onto an aftermarket Powertube. When do you get the...

    Spare POWERTUBE for Delite 2020: switching that rubber cover?!!!

    Thanks Scott. Hi. Good that the Transport Cover is now available in the US. So I guess it should be here in the UK. I presume this is the part: I doubt it would fit a bare aftermarket Powertube, because it appears to include a structure to lock into the frame cavity on the bike. But your...
