I can tell you that I suffered with the disappearing start gear with the original Nyon. It is not a new problem. I think it was responsive for R&M to send you a new shifter unit, but I wonder which issue they were targeting? It might be useful to take a poll on the start gear issue. I was...

R&M Load 60 -- this one goes camping Tern Vektron -- this one goes on the sailboat

Not true for the Bosch 6A "fast" charger, which consequently is not available for the US market. I tried one out using a heavy transformer but decided on another solution for my needs. The only nibble I've had when putting up the transformer for sale was some guy considering purchase of an...

I was curious, so I checked. Borneo is 230V/50Hz.

60Hz is US, most of the world is 50Hz.

It's not Daily Rider. I'll get the name. I think the status was still "prospective" as of late July. I'm a Purple Line supporter but I can't believe how it's paralyzed the area.

It's the Purple Line tracks messing me up, ha. Re: City Bikes: the sister is not interested in bike shop ownership and is looking for a buyer. Electricity's (former) GM is now in MI and most of the staff has dispersed. The R&M rep said there'll be a second shop in our area, but the name slips...

Yes, but he told me he did not miss the R&Ms at all. We kept in touch after he generously hosted me in Bellingham on my ride-through. And that's what I meant by your needs at present. This can evolve/change.

Hi there -- I'm assuming you're in the DC area per your comments. I spoke to the East Coast R&M rep recently, and he told me that Terrapin Bikes in Bethesda is their new DC store going forward. Not sure on the timelines, but reaching out about the Nevo can't hurt. Another option is Propel...

It's not an R&M issue; they've just been selling Rohloff-equipped bikes for quite some time. I don't think any e-brand comes close in terms of sales volume. I tour a lot, and at this point, I've canvassed scores of Rohloff owners, both on traditional touring bikes and e-bikes. The leaking...

It is relatively painless and should take only about an hour, assuming you have tools. So, yes.

Hopefully cleaning the contacts will solve the issue. If, not, I'd try to arrange a remote Bosch diagnostic test which will target both installed battery and motor. I'm fairly sure it can be done using your laptop and a usb cable to the intuvia. Or maybe you will have to download some software...

I probably was not clear. My opinion is that seal service is a regular maintenance item. It used to be something you could do in your garage. At the two year mark, you'll have to start paying for both wheel shipping and seal replacement.

I have a '22 Load60 and ride it in all kinds of terrain. It is very stable and managed anything I throw at it. My understanding is that the 75 is slightly less stable on turns, but not excessively so. This comment came from a salesperson at the dealership. My problems have been minor but very...

Yes. First, the "little to no maintenance" claim is bunk. Replacing the seals should be easy, but they took the tools/seals out of the end-user catalog and made them "dealer-only."

It means you need hooked rims, which you likely do have: https://blog.flocycling.com/carbon-wheels/hooked-vs-hookless-rims/

The outer insulation separated from the shifter at the strain relief boot, exposing a bundle of six wires. I believe one of these wires bent/broke while riding through a mess on an ungroomed trail. I immediately got a Nyon error code indicating the connection to E14 was lost. Pure conjecture on...

You can change the gear to a usable one by taking the wheel off, the shifter off + have an 8mm wrench on hand, IIRC. I remember setting the gear to 14 when I replaced the shifter. First incident. I think the shifter itself was fine but the cable coming of the shifter was compromised in rough...
