Hi, this is what I would do if I were you. I'm from the DC area and made my way to Seattle in 2021. I rode out to La Push, WA, for my formal start on the return home. It sounds to me like your trip is WA to northern MN. Why don't you start by virtually exploring the Northern Tier...

I just spoke to a dealer. He believes this is a legitimately a temporary pause with R&M remaining in the US market. Micah Toll's article is more negative in tone, stating that a return is less than certain, but I wanted to let everyone know there is a range of opinion.

Bikes/parts were prohibitively expensive pre-tariff with long support wait times. I'm just glad I didn't get stuck with some sort of expensive Pinion setup with absolutely zero support. I imagine Bosch will stick around, at least for a while. Most everything else is commodity.

I fully support this. Reporting from the DC Metro area, I can tell you that nobody wants to spend time outdoors any longer, to the consternation of restaurants, bars and the like. It's the opposite of COVID-19. Do not see how a company like R&M can forecast sales in such an environment. Coming...

Rohloff is in Germany. They have additional service centers in other counties to handle more common problems, so let's say you are swapping the shifter for another one -- that would take place within the US via USPS, UPS etc.. If you ship overseas, you must declare value. Entering $0 with...

"pls send us the shifting unit for inspection" means "send photos?" I would have been filling out a customs report ...

Am I reading this thread correctly? To perform a software update, you first had to purchase an Android device. Next, somehow, presumably through no fault of your own, your E14 shifter unit was programmed with the incorrect serial number, i.e. the programmed serial number does not match the...

https://forums.electricbikereview.com/threads/new-trunk-bag.53657/#post-627418 Same trunk bag, RM Nevo. That said, no guarantee the rack is the same. In fact, it is not, if you have the "co-sprung" rack option (I'm assuming you did not select the minimalist option). I believe your rack is the...

Yes, bikes pay the $8 2-axle toll eastbound. Since MD's tolls are 100% electronic, it's EZPASS or mail a check to MD MTA in ... Philadelphia. Make it make sense! What do bikes do now to get to Cape Cod? Are you referring to the Sagamore Bridge sidewalk? That's doable. The CBB is over 4 miles...

That's so interesting. On my return in 2021, I was running behind schedule, so I rode all night. I hit a Sheetz in Kent, and when I realized, yes, this Kent, I visited campus around 4am. I was surprised -- the Jeremy Miller site (Life cover) did not seem to be the correct location/orientation...

Baltimore-Washington. I split my time between the two metros and bike all around and in-between. #1. biggest problem is that infrastructure is hyperlocal, meaning a lack of continuity and severely abrupt changes. #2. 'Bikers Share the Road' signs are state-sponsored death traps. #3 between the...

Not sure what 'green necklace' refers to, but in 2018, 2019 and 2021 I rode an obvious Class 3 ebike between Cleveland and New Philadelphia, partially along a towpath, then extensions thru Stark County, Canal Fulton and then Cuyahoga everything. Absolutely no problems. I'd go as far as to say...

anniversary, huh? Did you take her out? Not your wife, silly, the SC!

I clicked on the product link, and a pop-up informed me that shipping to the US has been suspended while the company recalculates the tariff-inclusive price. Revelate is hand-stitched in Alaska, so I guess this is (finally) an example of Trump's tariffs working as intended. Aushiker -> Apidura...

I've found a Pinion North America office in CO, which might indicate planting a flag. OTOH, Stromer had a North American office as well. IMO, what is required before Pinion MGU models make it here is UL certification and a support network for the integrated drive/gearbox and FIT batteries...

Hmm. The gen2 drive can be extended via Bosch service kits, so I would hope for similar for later generation system 2. Also, my impression is that in Europe, you have more options for 3rd-party drive unit support. My primary concern would concern the batteries and any proprietary parts on the...

OP lives in the US, where Haibike has not been available for years. Assuming Gen2 Performance Line CX. An update near end of Gen2 swapped EMTB mode for Sport by default, with retention of Sport as a configurable option. That EMTB did not feel much different from Tour was a common complaint at...

Rohloff or Vario? The Homage -- first year 2x625w was available was 2021, was it not? $7400 is a lot of money for a used bike, so I personally would not be able to evaluate the Homage w/o knowing MY, mileage, drivetrain option, error-free and recent Bosch report indicating #battery cycles for...
