    New Delite?

    Some of us didn't even get a Supernova... :-( This might have made sense for R&M, because the new power tube batteries are 620watt, and are not backwards compatible with the older, 500w model. Yeah this really sucks actually, because we don't have such silly laws in USA, yet we are forced to...

    New Delite?

    Complete with imitation Court on it: Changes I noticed: - headlight mounted up near the bars - those batteries tho! (though to be honest, i get a lot of "Terminator" comments from the batteries on my Delite) - shock looks like a different one - shock definitely at a different angle - new...

    Supercharger GT touring HS: How to maintain and what tools are needed ?

    What drivetrain? I just had one hell of a flat tire yesterday, and had to change the inner tube: all that was needed was a 15mm wrench. The rear tire can be removed by hand after that. This is with the Enviolo/Nuvinci rear hub and a Gates belt drive.

    How far can you go on a charge?

    The bosch range finder is quite accurate. I could get over 100 miles on a charge if I wasn't riding at top speed the whole time. Eco mode is minimal battery assist. I ride in turbo at all times.

    R-M Delite rattling noise in motor

    @Scruffy's Human have you heard back from the bike shop? It's been a month, I was hoping to hear from you

    How far can you go on a charge?

    So I searched the forum and didn't see any comprehensive battery threads, so I thought I'd start one. 2018 Delite - High Speed version motor - Nuvinci/Enviolo hub - dual batteries - SuperMoto-X tires ~50psi - highest speed achieved: 39.3mph down a hill (plenty of brakes, though i didn't crush...

    R-M Delite rattling noise in motor

    I spent 30 minutes fooling about with that app.. got readings from a lot of nothing to 19hz-44hz, mostly centered around 19hz. I don't know how many teeth the belt has, but i know the 28 front 26 rear; i tried all different settings on teeth but it seemingly made no difference. I don't think...

    R-M Delite rattling noise in motor

    I have a 2018 De-lite Nuvinci HS that has a rattle too, but I feel like it's coming from the rear of the bike. It only happens when the motor isn't necessarily helping, I think; best demoed when pedaling too fast in "little orange man going up a hill" mode, and no real load on the bike (and...

    Did we get the compact or the regular charger?

    Looking at how long it would take to top up from 3/5 to 5/5 for a bike ride tonight, I stumbled across this: Looks like the standard charger only comes in a Euro-spec supply voltage, which begs the question: were we all given compact "slow" chargers? I've only ever charged my bike overnight...

    Changing sprockets on a belt driven R&M

    I searched the forums here, and I see that Gates has a tool for determining how many sprocket teeth for a given cadence at speed, but I haven't seen anything about replacing sprockets on a belt-driven R&M. Turns out, the Nuvinci is a bit maxed out at 28mph. I think I'd like one more tooth on...

    Suspension settings, opinion, discussion

    Chris, Thanks for taking the time to reply. I too felt anything under 100 PSI to be concerning, and didn't ride it this way for more than a few hundred feet. However I got this idea straight out of the SunTour leaflet that came with the bike; see attached image (if I can attach from phone.)...

    Suspension settings, opinion, discussion

    With 50 miles on the odometer, I have become dismayed at the suspension on my Delite. This is solely a commuter bike, and as such the hope for the air suspension was to remove those unpleasant cracks, connections and other aberrations of a rails-to-trails commute each morning. If I were to...

    Bought a new DeLite Vario highspeed yesterday

    I guess the pricing is new for 2019; if you watch Cort's review of the bike it was even less in 2017. RE: Bikes on the floor: I only spent time on the southern half of the building - I do not know what is over on the other side; appeared to be kids bikes, lance armstrong's or other...

    Customization when ordering

    No, they do not. I contacted R&M about having the culture's handlebars and stem fitted to a Homage, and R&M rep told me: To not make things to complicated we therefore have to also reduce options. In the past we had things like different tyre options, different handle bar options, different...

    Bought a new DeLite Vario highspeed yesterday

    Got it at ElectriCity Bikes in northern Washington DC. Had two different stickers of price - $7,550 and $7,260, yet propel lists it at $8,289..? Ended up paying $6k after some handlebar and seat changes. Went in after a Homage, but didn't have any, and after the stem and handlebars, ended up...
