    Known Issues & Problems with Riese & Müller Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    Hey glad to hear that everything is good now. Glad to hear that you went to the ride of silence! My trips around Philly are going pretty well, I have been enjoying the bike a lot when it's working:) I have around 1,500 miles now. I enjoy riding on this one paved trail that leads from Center...

    Riese & Müller Delite review

    I'm looking to upgrade the suspension on the bike to something suitable for trail riding, I figure for commuting I can adjust the fork and shock to how I need it or just lock them out. I was looking at the Fox 34 Factory Float and the Fox Float Evol rear shock. The bike has 100mm travel front...

    Known Issues & Problems with Riese & Müller Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    I had some brake problems too. The front was squealing and had no stopping power. The pads were contaminated with hydraulic fluid, likely from when I changed my tube for the first time. I went to Philly Electric Wheels and they wanted to replace the entire Deore brake system, with the...

    Can't decide what to get

    If you are considering spending that much for the ST1 X, you may want to try and get a Riese & Muller Charger demo bike from a dealer, if your patient you can probably get it for the same price as the ST1 X, with dual batteries. I have the delite, and weigh almost as much as you, and I get 55...

    350w hub versus 250w mid-drive, who wins?

    By the way when I purchased the Nyon on ebay it was on my bike with everything working perfectly in just 7 days.

    350w hub versus 250w mid-drive, who wins?

    Yeah it makes no sense, I have heard it's a liability concern over here, so I guess we have to blame the way Americans as a whole treat consumer products, and need them to be idiot proof. Any accident and people love to run to lawyers that can find some crazy ways to place blame. I purchased...

    350w hub versus 250w mid-drive, who wins?

    I agree with a lot of what I read on this thread. To use the most motor power or be most efficient at a certain cadence with the Bosch system, it is true that the cadence is sort of narrow. However, I have the performance speed line Bosch motor, and Bosch requires a higher cadence for max...

    Are there Trunk Racks strong enough for an ebike?

    You may not be able to lift the bike onto the roof, but if you're willing to you can get a roof rack. A hitch is probably the best idea, but I ended up purchasing a roof rack from AutoAnything, if you chat with them they will give you exactly what you need. They pieced together the best roof...

    Riese & Müller Delite review

    Hey, you can post your full review within this thread if you want, but if you want to start your own I understand:) Your story was very funny, I would have been so upset to see a pannier missing! I lock the panniers onto my rack with a small Abus chain. I am glad you found yours! I recently...

    Riese & Müller Delite review

    I will certainly get some more information on what went wrong with the NuVinci. I had it fixed at Propel and spent the day in Brooklyn with family so when I picked up the bike I was very tired. I asked about what was wrong and everything but I will ask again in a way that will allow me to...

    Riese & Müller Delite review

    I had a problem with my Nuvinci where somehow the gears werent working correctly so something internally became misaligned. I do not know how it happened really but it was repaired fairly easily by the shop. But basically I only had low gears and was spinning at almost 100 by the time I hit...

    Riese & Müller Delite review

    The Charger doesnt come with water bottle mounts if you get the dual battery. I personally didn't like the boomerang, it is so easy to defeat and a ripoff. The Sherlock is so much cheaper, but was engineered properly. In my opinion I would have a much easier time blocking the Boomerang signal...

    Nyon Upgrade in USA worked out of the box!

    Unfortunately I can't really justify paying almost $600 when I can theoretically get it for under $400, I wish there was some sort of way to get it through bike discount. I wonder if anyone knows if it might slip by next time or if this is something new.

    Nyon Upgrade in USA worked out of the box!

    Bike Discount informed me after 3 weeks that the Nyon was returned to them and denied by DHL and Customs to be sent because of the lithium ion battery. They said this is bad luck, and that for some customers it sends no problem. Not sure if I should just reorder it from bike-discount, or if I...

    Riese & Müller Delite review

    That's good that you have some really nice traditional bicycles you can still appreciate. The only alternative I have is some Trek bike that I got at least 12 years ago and never maintained well, so I have no reason to ride it lol. Yes I never tried the pedals that came with my Delite, I...
