    Salsa e-Bikes - Bikepacking Options

    There are two new offerings from Salsa that are aimed at the bikepacking/gravel market by the looks. Thankfully for me, having ordered an R & M Supercharger 2 for touring, the Tributary (with a rigid fork) is not sold in Australia (well as yet). With an extra battery/range extender it would...

    Bosch Connect Module on Gazelle bike?

    See this thread ... https://forums.electricbikereview.com/threads/bosch-connect-module-gps.53378/post-643314 It does seem you need a different cover.

    New Bosch PowerPack 800 Promises a Range of 300 km

    The smart system was introduced by Bosch in 2021, with some bikes coming out with it at the start of 2022 ...

    New Bosch PowerPack 800 Promises a Range of 300 km

    More details at eBike24.com blog. Whilst not applicable to the Reise and Muller Supercharger 2, the fact that Bosch seems to be focusing its development on the smart system reinforces in my view that Reise and Muller have done a disservice to its customers by sticking to the Bosch eBike System...

    New Ergon Grip to be Released Spring 2024

    Looks interesting ... I would be interested to know how the four defined grip areas work.

    Can I change derailleurs?

    I would rate it as being on a level one step higher than a no-name Shimano derailleur, so yeah, cheap and personally not something I would put on a bike of mine. Not that is going to help the OP.

    Supercharger 2 Top Tube Diameter

    It would be much appreciated if someone with a Supercharger 2 could measure the diameter of the top tube. Wanting to check if a clamp such as that found on a Buzzrack E-Hornet H2 bike rack would fit. Thanks in advance.

    Ebike rack

    Or maybe a BuzzRack e-Scorpion H2 without wheels?

    Great effort ... and nice looking setup.

    Car Vertical Bike Rack

    Yes, it's pricey, but "only" $140 more than the Yakima when fully configured. Keeping the bikes close to the vehicle is also important, as our regulations only allow for around 600 mm / 23" extrusion to the rear. Not that I have ever heard of this law being enforced, but there is always a first...

    Car Vertical Bike Rack

    No, not mine. I have a Subaru Forester that is similar to the second image. I have found a video showing the unloading and loading of e-MTB ...

    Car Vertical Bike Rack

    Thanks. I am concerned about the weight and have asked Shingleback if the bike could be "rolled on". Their 3+ bike racks make rolling on easy as the bike can be mounted when the rack is titled. I do not think this is possible with the 2B90. I hadn't considered the rear window issue. Looking at...

    Looking for opinons

    My first thought is that your mirror needs to be moved further out. I am not sure that bringing it under the bars will change the ability to see behind more clearly, but it is worth a try. Only trying will tell you if it works or not. It might be worth looking into the availability of a longer...

    Car Vertical Bike Rack

    I am looking for a hitch bike rack to carry my ebike + analogue bike or fat bike. Anyway, the options are pretty limited in my next of the woods. The Yakima StageTwo, for example, looks promising, but if you go off-road, the weight limit drops to 18 kg / per bike. The other alternative that has...

    Ebike rack

    From the options down under the 100lb/45 kg rating is impressive. I have only found racks with a 30kg rating here.

    Disc Brakes and Pads

    I am not a 'new owner', but from my experience over many years, I have often found better alternatives, e.g., Kool Stops for rim brakes and, in the case of my fat bike, switching to SwissStop disc pads. The only new part for me is that this is a much heavier ebike, whereas all but one of my...

    Disc Brakes and Pads

    Magura recommend (via their interactive tool) Magura 9.s (rear) and 7.s (front). The 's' stands for sport. They are described as: 'the all-rounder with good properties in all areas of use. Very good durability, low brake noise and good braking power. Organic compound.' A small bonus is that...

    Disc Brakes and Pads

    Bumping ... I like to have spare disc pads on hand, so I am looking at options for my Reise and Muller Supercharger 2, which has Magura MT4/MT5. Anyway, with my fat bike, I tend to run resin pads, which work well in that context. Looking at the options for the Supercharger, I see that there...
