    2021–2022 Riese & Müller Homage

    Exactly my point. And in this case, it is the mating of the new larger 625Wh Bosch Powertube with a completely newly designed frame and a newly designed cover. All three of which are coming from different vendors spread out across the globe. Mix in a heaping helping of renewed travel...

    I was required to pay 50% upon ordering, the remainder upon delivery. ---------- At this same time, I have a similar deposit and am waiting upon the delivery of the new Honda CT125 Trail Cub bike, which Honda had announced would be released across the United States in November. There were 25...

    Perhaps you would be happier if you contact your dealer about a refund? I am sure that they have customers who would be more than happy to take over your order and have your place in line.

    2021–2022 Riese & Müller Homage

    Are you saying that you do not believe that manufacturing issues are related to covid? The entire global supply chain has been under incredible strain for months now. There is a shortage of shipping containers for even essential items like food, medicine, and PPE. So of course there will be...

    2021–2022 Riese & Müller Homage

    Actually, Yes. It did. After the initial production schedule had to be pushed back due to the pandemic delaying deliveries of sub-assemblies and individual parts, my dual-battery Homage GT Rohloff was among the first ones to go down the line once all the parts had arrived. However... The...

    2021–2022 Riese & Müller Homage

    I ordered mine on September 4th, but yes, with the Class-1 motor so that mine will have the EXCELLENT Bosch eMBT mode available to me. I have very bad knees after having them bent sideways years ago, so the adaptive power delivery just feels SO natural and smooth to me versus the fixed assist...

    The R&M website estimator tool just shifted by bike back from being assembled sometime this week to "hopefully?" next week. If my dealer is able to convert my order to include air freight shipping, that would be getting it here just in time for Christmas. I'll be Homage for Christmas???

    R&M Halting air shipments due to pandemic?

    Hello all, I have been offline for a few days, but did reach out to R&M customer support about the air freight situation and received a reply on Wednesday, and when asked was given permission to share the reply here. FROM: Riese & Müller GmbH - Customer Care <[email protected]> "We have...

    Hopefully within the next week, which is when my bike is supposed to ship.

    R&M Halting air shipments due to pandemic?

    My 2021 Homage is scheduled to be built next week, so I checked in with my dealer today to discuss a few details of how I want it set up when it arrives. I was told that R&M has stopped air shipments until further notice due to the pandemic, so my bike will be put in a container and put onto a...

    Raleigh and Rambo e-bikes at Costco (Raleigh No Longer Available)

    Thank you for the kudos on my review. ------------ As far as the battery mounts, there is a small stamped and spot-welded steel bracket under the lower mount which was bent on my bike. That bracket removes easily with two socket-head screws after the plastic cover & battery contact bar is...

    Raleigh and Rambo e-bikes at Costco (Raleigh No Longer Available)

    Thank you. I agree that this model offers a lot of bike for the money. It doesn't have the raw power of some of the Bafang hub motors, but it more than makes up for that in how smooth and naturally the torque sensing works versus any other hub-drive bike I have ridden. The R&M Homage is not...

    Raleigh and Rambo e-bikes at Costco (Raleigh No Longer Available)

    This is the Raleigh Talus IE model that Costco had available earlier this summer for $1,100. Looking over at the Costco website today I see that it is not currently listed, but that the model is still listed on the Raleigh website. https://www.raleighusa.com/electric/trail/talus-ie-stepover

    Raleigh and Rambo e-bikes at Costco (Raleigh No Longer Available)

    I ordered one of the $1,100 Raleigh Talus ebikes from Costco on July 25th, and it was delivered to me just north of Milwaukee on August 4th. I ordered this bike as a "test-bed" and/or interim bike while I worked on getting back into bicycling after having some severe knee damage and years of...
