Blue painters tape? I might go for black electrical tape instead for stealthiness or better yet, create a better charge port and cover. :)

I hope it is successful. If anything I would like to install slightly larger tires. There are a couple of little issues that I mentioned to the Serial 1 Support folks. The rubber charge port cover is difficult to fit properly and is in a poor location. Mine dropped off yesterday during a ride...

I rode today and it was cold (for here ;-). I can't get over how quiet it is ... I had a Specialized Turbo Creo that I believe used a Brose motor that was noticeably louder than the Serial 1. Harley Davidson must have added sound dampening material to inside of the motor housing.

There are Tech Specs for each model on the Serial 1 website. I know Harley Davidson Live Wire E Motorcycle engineers designed the bike/ frame and spec'd the the batteries. Motor and drive train are identified in the specs. They certainly reveal as much as Specialized, Trek etc.

My happy riding of the Serial 1 continues thanks to the mild climate here in CA. It may be the "honeymoon" period but I find myself wanting to ride it over my very nice R&M bike. I also get a kick out of telling friends that I bought a Harley ... I've owned quite a few motorcycles in my life but...

From a strictly dispassionate business perspective these are caveat emptor issues. It's easy to get caught up in peoples problems with the bikes we own and we want to believe that we will have solid support from the manufacturer if something goes wrong. I think it all comes down to buying these...

It is good to hear all of these reports (good and bad) but I'm in the camp with @HariSeldon. No question R&M can make a solid reliable bike. Mine has 3000+ miles on it in 6 months of ownership and has been solid with literally no problems. Last month I was having some unusual noises coming from...

Hi, I'm interested in the Go Cycle with extra battery. Are you willing to Ship? I'm in California.

Actually, I don't recall that ever being mentioned but I appreciate the heads up. I assume then if there is a warranty problem with the Bosch motor, controller or batteries I would need to go to Bosch? Shimano for the brakes, someone else for the headlight? I guess it comes down to the...

The obvious solution is for R&M to replace your hub (or the bike) with a new one as long as it is under warranty. If they are unwilling to do that, then they are not standing behind their product and that is totally unacceptable. In a situation like this, manufacturers have to err on the side...

It does seem that Rohloff is not stepping up but your issue is with your dealer first, then failing that R&M. When folks spend +/- $10K USD for a bike, they have a right to expect excellent service/support. I hope that voicing your concerns here helps your cause. It is a noble one ...

Sorry you are having these issues. 3000+ miles on my E14 and no leaks. I bought my R&M from a local dealer and I know he would be a great advocate if needed and make things right. I can't imagine spending R&M money on a bike without local service. That said, I did my first E14 oil change a few...

Thanks for the link. Kyle quickly states that the MD 1000 Rohloff is a prototype and he cannot sell them. That model includes the new CANBuss controller and I was told by Leili that the MD 1000 Rohloff I had on order "can not be "unlocked". These bikes used to use the same Banang Ultra motor so...

I just purchased my Rush City Speed though my local, very reputable LBS. They do provide service and warranty repairs so happy to have a 2 year warranty. As for the Enviolo CVT, mine is operating perfectly and I don't feel the need to tweak. I did bump the Brose power level settings for the...

Put another 60 miles on the bike in the last 2 days. Fitted a Suntour SR Sp12 suspension seatpost on the bike and that allowed me to raise the seat to the correct height. This is a great option for a more comfortable ride. I find the stock Enviolo settings work well, very natural feeling and...

Yeah, it's an interesting bike and the Brose motor/Enviolo AUTOMATiQ Transmission with Belt drive is great shifting and incredibly quiet. It seems even quieter than an analog bike. Funny thing to praise, but the noise level of the Bafang Ultra was always annoying to me. As for the Leili and the...

It's not what I am saying, it was direct from Yeili. They refunded me right away so no harm, no foul. I found my new ebike yesterday. It's the Harley Davidson Serial 1. I got the top of the line model Rush/City Speed which has much to like about it including a $1000 Black Friday discount that...

I have been looking for another ebike which is difficult in the crazy market and was browsing many Threads here and considering several options but had never heard of the Harley Davidson Serial 1. Last night, I out found that a local LBS had just picked up the Serial 1 line and checking their...

I just cancelled my MD 1000 order. Apparently the CANBuss controller on the new Bafang Ultra motors is speed limited to 20mph. The ability to unlock the controller or at minimum, set it up as unlocked from the factory was important for me. While that limitation might help sales in the European...

It is moderately hilly. On my 50 mile rides I climb 2500-3200 feet total (I have an app on my phone that records all ride info including elevation. 40 miles is an easy get with the dual batteries even with some hill climbing. Lower levels of assist, maintaining pedaling effort and shifting gears...
