    Stupid E-bike games?

    Try this for a laugh.. Carry a toothbrush in an accesible pocket and overtake one handed with a nod whilst brushing your teeth!! A good way to learn previously unheard expletives.

    Dealing With Wildlife Encounters While Ebiking

    Here in the UK we dont see many Bears in the woods but the odd Bull can be a bit intimidating when crossing his field and our not so freindly dog walkers who leave small black pouches hanging from trees... hit your head on them at your peril! Personally I have never encountered any dangerous...

    Some questions for owners of R&M Supercharger (or Charger, Nevo, etc.).

    My diy skills are not so good and I would shy away from drilling holes in a £6K bike, but I like the idea. I have a Thule pack n pedal with the side rails so should be able to do something with that using cable ties.

    Some questions for owners of R&M Supercharger (or Charger, Nevo, etc.).

    Has anyone received a delivery update yet? Mine was due week 44 (Oct 29) but could be as late as week 48 (Nov 26) But I am reading things like this from Onbikes website... For all new orders before mid-November, Riese Muller will try to deliver by mid-January before they move. During the...

    Some questions for owners of R&M Supercharger (or Charger, Nevo, etc.).

    You appear to have answered one of my as yet unasked questions. Your Red Cycling Panniers fitments look identical to my older Altura panniers which I thought would be unuseable on the supercharger rear rack due to them needing a round rail to fit to. I wonder if you could expand a bit on how you...

    How do you plan to fix a roadside flat?

    When my new 30KG ebike arives I envision turning it upside down when out on the road/trail to be no easy task. Up to date on my road ebike I ride on M.P's and 3000 miles with no flats has me feeling confident that prevention is 99% of the way.

    What bikes use the Cobi System

    The oddometer total is stored in the bosch motor so whatever display you change to it will always show the same reading.

    Giant Road E 1x11 Drivetrain Conversion

    I see you have kept the front mech! I was a bit concerned about dropping the chain without one but I neednt have worried and its a much cleaner look without it.

    Giant Road E 1x11 Drivetrain Conversion

    Love my Giant Road E+1 but struggle with shifting between the front rings. It all works as it should but for the need to double shift to keep a decent cadence and the odd incedence of chain suck causing visible damage to the chainstay... So, Do we need 22 gears on an e-bike? I have removed the...

    I bought this to fit one on my emtb. Simple and effective for the fabric bottles on non RM bikes. https://www.trekbikes.com/gb/en_GB/equipment/cycling-accessories/bike-water-bottles-cages/bontrager-handlebar-water-bottle-cage-clamp/p/04087/ Yes. It's a Bosch bike so has the walk mode.. Not...

    Riese Muller Supercharger with Kiox Display

    There is an interesting EBR video on youtube where when asked about GPS they strongly suggest it as a future upgrade. Anyway my only choice was between kiox and intuvia.

    Some questions for owners of R&M Supercharger (or Charger, Nevo, etc.).

    According to Onbike Worcester the rims and tyres are tubless ready or easy but the ones supplied with the bike although the same, may not be. I tried marathon plus mtb tyres on my scott F.S 29er but they were narrow and not very confidence inspiring so don't want to go there, for removal I...

    Some questions for owners of R&M Supercharger (or Charger, Nevo, etc.).

    Mine is coming with shwalaby rock razors and am concerned, almost paranoid about punctures. What have others done about this? Options are.. different tyres, slime tubes or tubeless. Especially the belted rear.

    Some questions for owners of R&M Supercharger (or Charger, Nevo, etc.).

    If its like my other Bosch powered bike it will have a mixture of Hex and Torx keys so I bought one of these sets which has had every key I have needed and are in a nice tidy box (I tend to loose the odd allen key)...

    Cobi users

    My thoughts exactly.. My S6 is two years old and suffering a weak battery and as its not worth much as a trade in so i was going to keep it just for Cobi. The auto dimming is good at night offroad when the bright screen is distracting, my rides are generally 1.5 to 2 hours and I havnt had any...

    New eBike owner in the UK

    Hey George. There are no dealers near me so havnt been able to try one but like you I have researched this to the point of obsession. The only fly in this ointment is the weight which is as considerable as the price but the videos hardly mention it so how did you find the weight during your test...
