Or any R&M e-bike - anybody done it?

Thanks! Three weeks or so, maybe sooner as apparently demand has rather ’softened’ as they say. Additionally it’s already in R&M stock (2023 model) as a dealer cancellation or something - same reasoning.

Well I placed an order! Fully loaded GT Rohloff HS with the Fox. I just kept coming back to this bike as the one I wanted. Thanks for all your help folks!

It does help @sammcneill! Thanks for pointing out the writeups, I like your pros/cons on the Supercharger 2. It’s not a car replacement for me - owned an EV for six years and getting another one before I retire. But yeah I’ve come to think I’m not likely to do any serious touring, I‘ll be...

Yeah, I hear you, but honestly not for me. I don’t want to look like a jerk if a Ranger did notice. Not passing judgements here! But a story … I hiked from Tahoe to Yosemite in a once-in-a-lifetime hike when I was younger, anyway when we finally ended up in the valley we ran into a guy showing...

Yeah it’s fun for sure … really about self discovering, finding out what you most want to do and how to go about it. One big wrinkle - I live very near a California State Park I frequently hike in, the rules for ebikes appear to be only class 1 (up to 20 mph) on trails and roadways. The...

What noises does it make? Any cable rattle from the internal cables? Other than the Rohloff hub, any other squeaks or rattles? Actually I found it appears I can order the Koga Signature touring bike overseas. It has Rohloff/belt drive and hub for powering lights and phone. I like touring bikes...

Then you’ll have to explain why heavy machinery (e.g. CAT D10 dozers) machinists normally grind on repair, just so they have a professional appearance for their clients. Nope I don’t buy it, if you need thickness the normal procedure is to grind bevel the edges and weld on top, which increases...

One small thing surprising about R&M is they save a few bucks and don‘t smooth over those welds. If you price it as a Cadillac it better look like one!

I was interested in the KOGA touring bike that CyclingAbout is so fond of, but can’t get it outside of the EU :( For cars and EVs the US is the place to be, for bikes the EU probably

Funny i was thinking the same thing, planning on bringing my expensive camera gear along and would rather not have it bouncing Otherwise I’m 6’3’ 1/2 - so this is a good bike for taller guys? Haven’t had a chance for a test ride yet, but it would be the largest frame size for me?

No idea, but the switch is probably surface mount bubble or some such? Those are hard to replace unless you have the tools and some experience. Assuming you checked the warranty first and Bosch service.

Got it. Well I’m a newb when it comes to components, but those can be upgraded later, but you can‘t upgrade the bones and the Superdelite is dual battery. Not sure the Nicolai is truly comparable price since it’s single? No matter … Anyhow thanks for the link, as mentioned I’d love to find a...

Single in built battery and as expensive, but good alternative. Do you mean Suntour?

Thanks for pointing that out - I appreciate any links to other options. In this case unfortunately it’s similar to what I’ve seen with other bikes which is the integration and options just aren’t as good. Namely the second battery is a piggyback and I don’t see a Rohloff option. Call my foolish...

Enjoying your videos Walter, not a lot on the Superdelite other than dealers, nice to see from an owners perspective. I also like the stream of consciousness - funny but that’s how I hike and ride, talking to myself (I do try to not give others the impression I’m some crazy guy :)) Might be neat...

Hello, As a retirement gift to myself I’m looking at getting a Superdelite. Been mainly stationary training on my Kieser the past decade (wore out two other stationary bikes before that!) and now will have the time to do more outdoor riding. In terms of e-bikes I‘m not finding another as...
