Interesting read - I’m 20 months into R&M ownership (approaching 6000km) and motor is still fine …. Although I’m two DAYS into ownership of a Specialized Turbo Levo eMTB with their Brose motor. It’s noticeably quieter than my Bosch HS motor. Going to monitor this carefully going forward.

Hi Guys, I've been a regular poster over at then Riese & Muller forum (I own a SuperCharger 2) and tomorrow I'm picking up my new Turbo Levo Comp Allow 2022 - can't wait. I could not justify/afford the higher spec models, so I see this one has the 2021 TCU - without the full visual display...

Turbo Levo Comp Alloy - couldn't justify the cost going up to Carbon (NZSD$16K) or S-Works (NZD$27,500!)

Still love my SC2 but sneaking off tomorrow morning to pick up my new eMTB: CAn't wait for a different experience of riding!

Hi Guys, If any of you ride with Garmin devices they've now created a bunch of new cycling activity profiles including eBike and eMTB. I've checked and this is showing on my Garmin Edge 530 and Garmin Fenix 6 Pro. This is great and should make it easier to create custom data screens and also...

Does it add much weight to steering “feel”? I’ve never ridden with panniers on front forks before so curious to understand the riding experience. I’ve got a pair of Ortlieb rollers for the rear of my SC2 and they’re brilliant. I’m actually looking at the Aeroe Spider rack system for my new...

Update: no fancy tricks for double kickstand; replacement R&M kickstand ordered from Germany for the SC2. Buckling up for a couple of months (at least!) delivery time!

I have an SC2 and on longer rides once I’m “up to speed” on flat terrain I’ll turn off boost assistance and pedal without power. Can be done. I have vario + belt

A happy ending! After waiting TWO months, the part arrived and fitted. Thanks again @JVBulman for the part number! By looks of it, this is actually a different mounting bracket but actually looks like a better one. All’s well that ends well!

No idea! The LBS just asked my wife if she wanted to consider that when she rang them about getting it replaced. I’m taking the bike in on Friday to get the front light fixed (replacement part finally arrived at LBS) and will discuss it with them then. Given you’ve asked the question...

Hi experts. My son knocked over my SC2 & bizarrely the kick stand snapped right off! LBS asked if wanted to consider a double kickstand “upgrade” instead of like for like single kickstand. Anyone used a double? Recommend it? I thought they were only for heavier bikes like MultiCharger or the...

Interesting the power charging ports are on the top of the motor now rather than on the side of the motor on the SC2 & Multicharger videos I watched on that link you shared. Quite different from my 2020 SC2

Yeah I’ve definitely put more than 5kg on at various times. Coped fine seemingly

Hahhahaha touché! Yeah was a fun ride but nothing too serious.

Thanks mate - appreciate the reply.

Thanks @JVBulman - figured you'd be in the know but worries me if someone of your experience is still saying they can be a tight thing to reconnect! regarding your comment above about keeping the barrel adjusters "threaded in completely" - is this different from the guidance in the video above...

I don't want to side track the discussion but THIS is my biggest (and likely only) regret about getting a belt drive Vario SC2. I've tried once to carefully remove the wheel as a test in advance of an overnight bike trip (details here) and honestly, I could not get the vario cables to reconnect...

FYI - I’ve subsequently found that you CAN buy these aftermarket via R&M dealers but supply is low and they’re only approved for new model Multicharger given weight restrictions so no good for my 2020 SC2. Cheers Sam

Haha yes I HAD a stand until last week…. I had got the bike out for my wife to ride & my 10yr old son in his haste knocked it over and snapped the stand right off! My LBS is closed for the holidays so waiting to get a replacement. The knock over also scratched up the frame and damaged the end...

Happy holidays, Sharing a short video snd some photos of a trip I did yesterday on my SC2 - it’s part of the Christchurch 360 Trail I’m undertaking this summer - 8 segments that circle the city and show the complete diversity of the environment around where I live. I hiked the first hilly 17km...
