“52% complete“ is quite misleading. Significant portions are only suitable for ATVs or unmaintained/unusable at present.

Hi, done it 2x. 2019 - Long Beach CA to SF via PCH, then east via Lincoln Highway route. CA - NV (pony express) - UT - WY - NE - IA - WI- MI - OH - PA - MD - DC The WI-MI portion was a modification on my part to go to one of my favorite areas — the Driftless region of the upper Midwest. 2021...

I see in your profile you’re from DC? Feel free to DM, and I’ll be happy to give you recommendations curated for our area. I’ve owned R&Ms since 2017, so I’ve got opinions.

i brought my Gates tension gauge with me, and the service dept allowed me back in the shop to show them how to install/tension belt and how the shifter unit fits back into the dropout. There were other issues as well, but the bottom line is that they were easy to work with, and I’d recommend the...

Recent personal experience taking an R&M Nevo Rohloff HS to a Trek shop. No problem with Bosch-related updates and so forth but balked at reinstalling rear wheel due to lack of familiarity with E14/Gates belt.

FWIW, this problem goes back to original Nyon. Mine “forgets” the start gear regularly.

He used a retrofit kit/CO controller on a manual 380/Charger3. He soldered the power cable from the hub to the main power cable (Enviolo recommended AUX port on Gen4 but user noted it is limited to 12V while the hub needs 18V-36V). He needed to drop the motor for access. He bypassed Bosch, so...

@scrambler There is a post in the Facebook Riese&Mueller Owner’s Group describing the process. See the post authored by Frans van Kogelenberg on Jan 7. If you are not currently a member, you will have to answer a few generic questions and wait for admin approval.

I’ve never had a problem in little towns, and my trailer(s) is usually loaded w/ items more valuable than groceries. - a Burley Travoy is an ideal grocery trailer. Easily detached and used for shopping. - another idea is to get permission to bring in your empty trailer and leave it up front...

I just had a 2019 Performance Line Speed (Gen 2) motor failure beginning of January at 10,340 miles. However, I ride the bike all over the US, over all types of terrain and in all kinds of weather, including deserts and severely flooded areas. Plenty of ppl get substantially more miles out of...

The latter …

I rode an ebike in MI from Muskegon to Toledo via Grand Rapids, Lansing and Ann Arbor both 2018 and 2019. No issues, including the trail out of Muskegon and the city trails in Lansing. Rode through Indiana 2x this past summer. Not only did I not have problems, a police officer and police...

Bosch has a toll-free customer support line: 1-833-BOSCH-EB If a software/coding issue, the issue gets sent to engineers in Germany. This is true whether routed through a dealer or one of the techs here on EBR. Could be that the rep on the support line did the same. @JimAndArrow, Germans tend...

My advice: find an RVer who will let you plug in overnite. So many RVers have ebikes -- they get it. I routinely get offers to charge my bike w/o having to ask. You can plug right into the camper or the 20A (household) outlets on the pedestal are usually not in use since RVers use 30A/50A...

CA state parks vary tremendously in terms of outlet availability. They are almost always in bathrooms, but so are suspect types who arrive during the wee hours looking for phones and battery packs getting charged. Some of the parks have no outlets near the "hiker/biker" areas. I would say that...

The Montana paths/trails tend to be dominated by ATVs which means rocky washboards. Also, I found (in recent weeks) that some have been closed off with barbed wire, etc. No moose on Trail of the CDA? Mom + young one have been routinely sighted in recent weeks!

You could probably get to Omaha westbound and obviously eastbound fit DC and back very comfortably with time to spare. Probably not worth trying to get to the Cowboy Trail in NE - four trestles are out with no plans to replace. There's not much actual trail available west of Nebraska save WA...

I also experienced this (severe leaking). Larger size drops that ran over the E14 before hitting the floor. 1. Temperature changes played a role, notably from cold outdoors to bringing the bike indoors. Presumably the pressure increased as well. The leaking was most severe after a ride in the...

Going to update here. My Intuvia control unit died. I'm on tour and have had daily rain and lots of unavoidable riding in the rain.. To put things in context, the bike has over 5k miles now, and I suspect a hair dryer may bring the old control unit back as it became a bit more responsive under...
