Does this trunk make my backside look too big??? The rear box is the same one that I use on my motorcycle, and since I had a spare mounting plate decided to give it a test fit to how it might work. Pluses: 47 Liters of waterproof storage (Room for tools, spare tube, pump, first aid kit...

I see that webcurl expressed surprise at the weight I measured. These figures come straight from the R&M Owner's Manual: 2.6.2. Weight specifications MODEL ------ MAXIMUM GROSS WEIGHT --------- WEIGHT OF E-BIKE ---------- MAX. WEIGHT OF RIDER --- MAX. LOAD ON REAR RACK --- MAX. LOAD ON FRONT...

For those of you who are interested, I put my bike on a scale, just to find out the actual weight. 2021 R&M Homage GT Rohloff (class-1) Nyon Display option Dual-Battery option Front Carrier option 2x Fabric bottles & mounts Dropper Post option Standard flat bars & Super Moto-X tires Net Weight...

Took the new bike out for the first decently long ride in SE Wisconsin back roads on Monday. Left the house with the dual-batteries showing 84%, returned home with 47% showing after using the eMTB mode for most of the ride, and Turbo on several of the bigger/steeper climbs. Tire pressures...

Yes, it is. And, as others have noted, they will only fit the 2021 Homage when fitted with the front carrier rack due to the design of the new frame.

A quick teaser shot... More to come...

I will be coming off of a Raleigh Talus IE e-bike with hub drive but torque sensing. It weighs in at around 56 pounds with the rear rack that I added. So the Homage dual-battery will be around 18 pounds heavier (listed weight of 74-lbs). However, my other bikes are both quite a bit heavier...

What models did you order? Mine is a dual-battery Rohloff GT (20mph with the CX motor & eMTB mode) with, Nyon display, front rack, and dropper post.

Yeah, I have done that drive several times this last year. I started dating a woman here in Columbus in the middle of the pandemic, and to top things off she has a genetic immune disorder making her at much higher risk. Not the best timing to do so, but love knows no distance or health crisis...

Just received word that my dual-battery Rohloff Homage has arrived at the dealership warehouse, and should be delivered to the local branch store in Milwaukee, WI next week. The thing is, I am currently in Columbus Ohio, and not scheduled to be back in Wisconsin until the beginning of April...

Abus does offer the option of custom ordering locks to work with existing keys.

I went back and forth about whether to go with the standard or comfort bars, but stuck with the standard ones because I do intend to ride on unimproved roads/trails in national parks & forests, and the wider bars should work better in those situations for hitting rocks, roots, and ruts. My...

Personally, I specifically went for the lower speed version of the Homage to get the CX motor and the eMTB mode. I have ridden R&M model bikes with eMTB and Sport mode back-to-back, and my damaged knees really prefer the adaptive assistance of the eMTB functionality. IMHO, if you have bad...

Here is the how the front bag option appears on the USA website: Looks like there are two waterproof compartments in addition to the roll-top main portion.

Latest news as of 10:00am today: ... "The bike is ready and will ship next week." ...

News on the dual-battery Homage models which have been held up due to the battery covers not meeting spec. Correctly fitting battery covers for the dual-battery models have now been received in quantity, and they are completing the initial batch of the bikes that have been waiting for that...

John, The Bosch ebike ABS is only available in certain EU countries, not on USA models. Trust me, I asked about that both directly with R&M and with Bosch customer service before ordering mine. They currently do not even have an extended forecast of when they might consider offering it in the...

I agree with your opinion that there is not much more I would want in the new Homage beyond a Fox GX suspension. The new 4th-Gen Bosch drive, integrated 1250Wh dual-batteries, frame-mounted front rack, and dropper post has made the 2021 Homage a very nicely outfitted e-bike. As far as my knees...

Congrats on the new ride! I had looked at and test ridden the SuperDelite, as well as a SuperDelite Mountain HS and really liked them. The extra suspension travel of the GX/Mountain option really does make a noticeable difference in riding off of curbs or riding over severely rough terrain, but...

When the Takata airbags were recalled on a host of automakers, was it the fault of quality control at GM/Honda/Toyota/Subaru/et.al.? When lettuce, grapes, or canned goods get recalled from grocery stores, is it the fault of grocery chain for not doing proper quality control? Similarly, when a...
