Sharing a positive update! For the first time in 4.5months I was able to ride a bike … my R&M SuperCharger 2… knee rehab has been hard and it didn’t feel comfortable but got a few turns of the pedals on the driveway yesterday and then a 5km ride today. I had a short video but does not look like...

This is great news and very comforting to hear! After an intensive physio session yesterday I got my knee to bend to 110 degrees but I’m absolutely paying for it today (very stiff and sore and back to about 90 degrees ROM). I’m only 2.5weeks post open knee surgery so still swelling and...

Hi All I posted elsewhere on this forum that I’d fallen off my eMTB and wrecked my knee. I was dropping my SuperCharger2 off for servicing today and replace the Ergon grips (not been ridden in four months due to my wrecked knee). The owner of the LBS suggested I may want to consider shorter...

A friend of mine saw my Varia and loved it so much he tried to get one - there were none in stock anywhere so he bought the Magene which had recently been released at the time. It's worked pretty well for him but on longer rides I don't think the battery is as good as the Varia in my experience.

Nice - works flawlessly. Whilst Garmin Varia is bullet proof, the market has exploded with radars/lights now so there is a heap of choice in this space.

Oh you’re NZ based? Cool! A few of us on here now

You can get solutions for eMTB - I’m using the system from www.aeroe.com and have mounted it on my specialised Turbo Levo eMTB. This is a full suspension bike and this racking system works: No seat post bag so I can still use my dropper post. Aeroe racking system very versatile and I swap...

Mounted on rack on the right hand side. Same bike; different bag configuration and mounted under the saddle

Couple of previous discussions on this here: https://forums.electricbikereview.com/threads/garmin-varia-usage-on-ebikes.45338/ And https://forums.electricbikereview.com/threads/garmin-varia-radar.48115/ I’ve used the under saddle bracket on one of my bikes and on my gravel bikepacking rig I...

Thanks for update - sorry to hear of your achilles tendon injury. I snapped my achilles tendon years ago playing basketball and it's never really been right since so you do want to look after it. Lovely photos of the journey too - thanks for sharing!

Good looking bike - drop bars look cool. Not sure about the positioning of the motor boost control on the handlebars. I think on the hoods would make more sense. Big push on the RX tracking features - nice if you live in the 12months free zones (which I don’t). Certainly looks sleek. So R&M...

I’ve never been a fan of the design of these bikes and the rack always looks…. Odd to my eyes. The move to a pinion geared motor is intriguing! Everything I read suggests Pinions are awesome and I think geared motors are the future for e-bikes but the integration of the motor on these two bikes...

It’s a great set up either way - you’ll have a ton of fun! I’ve gone with this for my rear rack/bag option: https://aeroe.com/ Using that rather than a seat post bag as means I could mount on my eMTB that has a dropper post as well if wanted to. One system, could go on my R&M, eMTB or...

It’s looking awesome mate! Especially the custom frame bag - sounds like an exciting adventure in your future. Can I ask a question? Given the hauling power of the eBike and fact you’ve got front fork panniers on your bike, going super aerodynamic probably not the #1 factor in terms of bags…...

Looking really good mate! I was thinking about front fork storage for my gravel bike. I usually ride with a water bladder backpack which is great for fluid hydration, but also means carrying up to 3kg on your back when it's full. I was thinking about storing water on the forks so may look at...

I’m also in South Island (chch) and took about 3-6months to spot another one… in fact it was a pair, with stunning custom pink paint jobs: I saw quite a few more in Switzerland & Germany in January this year

C Could you have placed your wheels on the 'rail' to the right of the stairs and used walk assist mode to walk it up the smooth part of the stairwell? I have a Rohloff on my custom bikepacking gravel bike (not electric) and was also disappointed to get an oil leak around the 2K mark. ruined...

The irony was I riding a very, very safe trail at slow/moderate speeds so it’s inexplicable how it happened and the injury is completely disproportionate to the risk unfortunately. Knee pads would likely be great protection against abrasions and impact injuries. I suspect I must have applied...

thank you my friend - I'll be back on the bike in a few months!

Great looking bike - enjoy! I’ve got the Matte Curry version and love it so much. Sadly, I’ve not been able to ride it for seven weeks after falling off my eMTB and rupturing my quadriceps tendon. I needed a surgical knee reconstruction and looking at 9-12months for full recovery. 😔 This is...
