No, not that... we already have a guide in the previous model. I mean the little arm that's sticking out from it.

Notice that the Delite Rohloff GX comes with a Gates Carbon Drive... how many people, R&M included, claimed that the Delite was incompatible with Gates Carbon Drive? I've lost count. People on forums, even. So apart from that weird appendage sticking out of the snubber wheel, there's nothing...

The problem with Bosch batteries is that, unlike Yamaha batteries, their canbus protocol has not been reversed yet, so I doubt anyone is capable of making a reliable battery for their system.

Exactly this. The routing in OpenStreetMap is pretty bad. The kind of control you get is to choose a 'fastest', 'mtb' or 'scenic' route as if someone actually did any sort of research on which route is scenic.

I'd love to see an updated Delite. What I want is E-14 and ABS, the rest I can upgrade myself.

I have the Nyon and I do not like it, nor do I recommend it. It is beautiful but the navigation functionality is now useless compared to any cheap smartphone. Other features are gimmicky. I'm slowly coming to the conclusion that the best display solution is NO display. The only benefit of the...

I find it very hard to believe that your chains fail after <100 miles. This can only happen if you ride mud-heavy trails and then neglect to clean your chain. Then, yeah, your chain can fail after just a single ride. Otherwise, this is very suspect. I use KMC X1 chains and currently get several...

My problem isn't in downgrading to 1x, I just want to know the chainline for choosing the rear hub.

Sadly I'm in Russia, we don't have anyone here who services the major brand ebikes. And can you explain what you mean by 'socket'?

@Haibike Rider thanks for this! looks really complicated though. And I don't quite understand - are there two bearings that can go bad there? The one that I think is wrong on my bike is the drive side bearing, but people refer to it as the 'main drive bearing'... that's the one I bought. The...

Here's a video with a few more upgrades:

Haha, in theory yes, however the shop that sold me the bike told me they no longer sell bikes and to contact Bosch directly, and as for Bosch, well, they just want me to go away:

My 2nd gen motor became noisy and the internets say it's due to a dying main drive bearing. So I bought all the tools and the bearings, removed the crank with the crank puller, then removed the sprocket and... I cannot find the drive bearing to replace. Can someone tell me where the main drive...

To me, the smaller Q factor is a disadvantage. If I build my own ebike, it will be for 4"-5" wheels. I see no reason to have smaller wheels. In my opinion, an ebike should be universal: dual-sus, fatbike, integrated fenders, the works. Sadly, building an electric fatbike is hard: for example...

At the moment, the goal is to construct an ebike frame to work with the Bosch motor, particularly because Bosch actually works with small builders. That said, it's very difficult to build a frame without materials engineering knowledge. I'm slowly learning SolidWorks. This does imply using...

It's about time I wrote here, though I've posted in the forum a lot already. My name's Dmitri, I'm from St.Petersburg (Russia), I have a number of different ebikes (Crescent, R&M, Haibike). I'm very much into tuning and generally rebuilding bikes to my liking. Russia isn't big on ebikes, and...

I can't find this info, maybe someone will help. I have a Yamaha PW motor with one of those proprietary Haibike sprockets. What is the chainline of this bike? Haibike does not give this spec, it seems. Also, what mechanisms are there for changing chainline of the crank sprocket?

@Joe EE this is really cool! I assume the rear camera inverts the image, so left is left? Also, where did you get those cool looking pannier bags?

If your bike is the same is mine, the 'default' tension should be such that the top line of the chain is a straight line from front sprocket to back sprocket. As your chain wears out, pressing on this will create an arch in the chain. As the chain reaches critical levels, you will simply start...

I have had a good experience so far. I don't experience any major drain -- of course, I have 1kWh overall so perhaps if you only have half that it's another story. The only real issue with M99Pro is that it's driven directly by the battery, which is why the on/off switch on the Bosch bike...
