    Stromer ST2 on fire?

    Using this logic anything can be motivated to be fake, including your theories. :eek:o_O

    Stromer ST2 on fire?

    Why would it be fake? Lithium batteries that get short circuited or physically damaged exhibit exactly this behaviour, massive amounts of white smoke. There are several videos of batteries being intentionally short circuited and white smoke is exactly what you get. And the last one, not...

    Well it might be an ST1 then.

    Stromer ST2 on fire?

    Saw this video on Facebook. An e-bike smoking badly. It looks very much like a Stromer ST2 but as a non-Stromer owner I'm not 100% sure. Anyone can confirm that this is a ST2?

    Intuvia clock not keeping time

    Funny that quartz watches have been around since the 1970's and have been very exact in keeping time, but Bosch; a major player in the electromechanical industry since 100 years, could not make a digital clock in 2018 keeping the time. I'm not using the clock on the Intuvia much but this is...

    What inner tube for Supercharger GX?

    Thanks, I ordered the mentioned inner tubes and hope they are right for me. The size seems right, mostly worried that the valve length would not be enough. Schwalbe does not declare the Rock Razors being "tubeless ready", would it still work?

    What inner tube for Supercharger GX?

    What tube should I go with the Supercharger GX's Rock Razors? Looking at Schwalbe No. 21 but not sure if the valve height of 40 mm is enough. Opinions?

    Actually, ebikes will get you much LESS exercise

    I did not measure my heart rate before and after, but swapping 41 daily commuter miles from car to e-bike has made me a bit more sweaty for sure.

    Bosch Kiox Electric Bike Display Details

    Riese & Müller now has a bike on their web site with the Kiox as an optional upgrade to the standard Intuvia. The upgrade cost is about USD 120.

    nyon upgrade for R&M ebikes?

    It's not only a tech gadget, it's an agreement with an insurance company that is willing to insure the bikes in these premises. More of a service than a gadget. So I guess it will be available slowly in more and more countries as time goes on and R&M can negotiate deals with insurers. And they...

    Schwalbe Super Moto-X discontinued?

    I sure hope so. I saw the tires on Schwalbes website but who knows how up to date it is.

    Schwalbe Super Moto-X discontinued?

    Most Swedish or other EU online shops no longer carries the Schwalbe Super Moto-X 62-584 tires. Anyone know if this particular tire is to be discontinued or already is? It seems to be a popular choice for R&M bikes and I was about to retrofit my Supercharger GX with these.

    Interesting, all "NuVinci"-models are renamed to "Vario".

    Bosch Innovations for 2019

    I wonder why the Bosch ABS unit is so large? At the same fair, Eurobike 2018, a smaller company called Brakeforce One presented their ABS prototype. Besides being for both front and rear wheel (which the Bosch unit is not) it also is significantly more compact. Look at the size..

    Intuvia clock not keeping time

    My Intuvia display has lost 10 minutes in 4 months. This is worse than any other digital clock I have ever owned. Anyone else notice?

    Is this really true for mid-drive electric bikes?

    Ortlieb Panniers on Supercharger Rack

    Agreed, I'm cycling in a lot of traffic and wear a high-viz jacket, my helmet is not black as most seem to be but bright orange. Still I'd prefer another combination than red-on-blue. The curry yellow bike had been a lot easier to combine with visible color panniers like red or yellow. Ah well..

    Ortlieb Panniers on Supercharger Rack

    LOL if You think it's OK, go for it. For me, it's an eye soaring combination. But hey, I'm not the one suffering, they are not in the field of vision while looking over the handlebar ;) The grey Supercharger would have been a more neutral choice and easier to match anything to. But I thought it...

    Ortlieb Panniers on Supercharger Rack

    My blue Supercharger with the red panniers gives a horrible color combination. Looks like something that a clown would ride. I originally ordered the older Charger in the gorgeous "curry yellow", while waiting for it I ordered the red panniers that I thought would match the yellow nicely...
