    First thing they ask you when you go to register your bike is what region you're in.

    Rear Brake totally out of order

    "the brake is loose" Do you mean physically mounted loosely on the bike, or does the lever feel soft, or?

    Vibration Issue with R&M Multicharger when riding.

    What is the belt tension reading? If the tension is on-spec, the drive unit lockring would be the next thing to check. If the lockring has loosened at all, clean the splines of the drive unit and chainring and inspect them for any movement or a loose fit that might suggest deformation (visual...

    606 error code

    We've only built one System 3 bike up so far, but I'm sure we'll find out in the coming months.

    Aftermarket Cargo Front Carrier

    The flaw in that logic is literally any bike is worth stealing to a bike thief if the opportunity presents itself.

    Aftermarket Cargo Front Carrier

    That has to do with the way it's mounted, the newer racks don't turn with the fork and are thus more stable.

    Replacement kickstand for SuperCharger 2….

    That's my observation - there's not enough space between the drive unit shell and the rear fender on the SC2.

    606 error code

    606 Errors have been historically difficult for our shop to isolate as they don't tend to be a repeated issue on our bikes after clearing the error in the diagnostic and reloading the bike's firmware.

    606 error code

    While you should be able to run just the top battery, it's not ideal as the lower battery is recognized by the system as being the "primary" battery.

    Bosch CX motor noise? Yeah, me too. Here's what I did.

    Brose drive units are belt-driven if I recall correctly; they're known for being extremely quiet as a result.

    New Nevo3 GT Vario (GX)

    Ah bummer, was hoping there was an alternative I'd not thought of.

    Where to get R&M parts?

    See "depleting the work force" above. I'm sure you understand the complications caused by the pandemic in the abstract, but you don't seem to grasp the impact it's had on the daily operations of a shop and the way you're talking about all this comes off a bit tone-deaf and that's the last I'll...

    Where to get R&M parts?

    It's a problem you'll find in many industries as we're still in the middle of a global pandemic that continues to disrupt supply chains at every level while the largest spike in cases we've seen yet continues depleting the work force... The part in question is an OEM part made by Fabric for R&M...

    Is there a particular Supercharger or Superdelite configuration that will allow

    The weight of the bike and the drag of the drive unit make for a bit of slog without assist in my experience, but I'm not a particularly strong rider and I tend to spin at a higher cadence. I'd say GT Touring HS if we're looking at "fastest" from a perspective of acceleration and mechanical...

    How is the maintenance on an R&M? Are these able to be serviced at local shops generally?

    Ideally, you'd want to go to an R&M dealer as they'll know the most about what they're working with, but barring that, a Bosch-certified LBS with a decent amount of experience will be fine for 99% of the work you'd need done. If you have a belt drive Enviolio or Rohloff, you'll want to find a...

    Replacement kickstand for SuperCharger 2….

    Less help to you having already found a solution, but for anyone else wondering, the Multicharger centerstand can be ordered by itself aftermarket. The one for Touring models is #VBK0363 and Vario/Rohloff is #VBK0364

    Maybe your LBS has a solution in mind that I've not thought of! Let us know how it goes if so.

    Where would you mount a double kickstand on a SC2?
