    Go SwissDrive is gone

    Doh! Mechanic turned out to have sent me the license key and I skimmed over it. That said, still upset about the GSD situation. Makes buying an e-bike seem like a gamble with all of these companies shutting down or fielding failing drive systems.

    Go SwissDrive Servicetool license?

    Actually, my bad. My mechanic just got back to me and apparently I skimmed over the license key in the email he sent me linking to the tool. Doh! Commence double face palming. Please disregard.

    Go SwissDrive Servicetool license?

    I don't suppose anyone knows how to get a hold of a license key for a the Go SwissDrive Servicetool? Can't find it anywhere online. The mechanic who retrofitted my trike sent me a link to the tool, which I need to use to attempt a motor re-calibration - which I'm hoping will fix it as I'm...

    Go SwissDrive is gone

    Just found out about this today, while trying to troubleshoot a dead Go SwissDrive on our HP Velotechnik Scorpion after only about a year of riding it. Feeling pretty cheesed about the whole thing. That said, I don't suppose anyone knows how to get a hold of a license key for a the Go...

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

    I got the thru-axle via our LBS/R&M dealer, a place called New Wheel. They do it frequently enough they had a bunch in stock and the mechanic replaced it with the bike still locked to the rack on my car in the parking lot. I remember him mentioning it was hard to find the perfect fit. It's an...

    Hello from San Francisco - two-year enthusiast

    Thanks; it's pretty great. We have a technically carbon neutral car, a 2001 TDI Beetle that runs biodiesel. It's a manual, and torquey for its size, so it's great on the hills here, but... it's still a car. We also had PV installed a few years ago, so it's nice knowing our bikes are mostly...

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

    We have had very few issues with our 2018 Homage GT Nuvinci in 1400 miles of riding since acquiring it about a year ago, but have had a few minor ones: "Crinkly" sound coming from the Fallbrook C8 shifter - the bike shop seemed to fix this, then it occurred again about 6 months later and...

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

    Have tried the walk assist on our Homage GT and it seems, if anything, very slow, but adequate even for steep hills offroad. Our bike has a CX drive though, whereas the Delite has the HS, I think. Maybe that's the difference?

    New Charger GH NuVinci - replaces Kalkhoff Integrale

    Congrats! Traded a Kalkhoff Tasman Classic for an R&M Homage GT Nuvinci and it has been night and day. We live in a very hilly area, and the Impulse motors burned out several times. The Bosch system, otoh, has been bullet-proof. I love the elegance and ease of the Nuvinci system. Ours still uses...

    Schwalbe Super Moto-X discontinued?

    I have had really good luck with ordering replacement parts from Germany via eBay, including Schwalbe tires. I had an older bike with the cream-colored Schwalbe City Lights that were impossible to find in the States, but there were plenty available from a German seller on Ebay. I've had similar...

    Hello from San Francisco - two-year enthusiast

    Ok, round 3. Having some technical difficulties, every time I try to edit a post it gets deleted. Anyhow, my spouse and I own a Riese & Muller Homage GT Nuvinci that we traded up from a Kalkhoff Tasman Classic, and a 2006 (!) HP Velotechnik Scorpion FS20 that I had retrofitted with the factory...

    Hello from San Francisco - two-year enthusiast

    Ok, round 2. Had some technical difficulties the first time and somehow the original post got deleted. Anyhow, my spouse and I own a Riese & Muller Homage GT Nuvinci that we traded up from a Kalkhoff Tasman Classic, and a 2006 (!) HP Velotechnik Scorpion FS20 that I had retrofitted with the...

    Hello from San Francisco - two year enthusiast

    Hey all, new to the forum, but been watching Court's videos for a while and owned some bikes with my spouse for a couple of years. We have a 2018 Riese & Muller Homage GT Nuvinci that we traded up from a Kalkhoff Tasman Classic. We loved the Kalkhoff, but its Impulse drive system was getting...
