    Update Failed on Nyon gen 1

    I had this problem with Nyon 1. As it was never officially released in the US, my dealer refused any assistance :( The good news is that with repeated attempts while systematically making changes, I always managed to get it working (eventually). My first suggestion would be to remove the device...

    Superdelite5

    That's with a cloth cover for the top battery. no less. I predict that cloth battery cover will be nothing but trouble. Looks great on the showroom floor, tho'.

    Charging Ebikes on EV Charging stations

    I enjoyed your proof-of-concept and consider it a form of advocacy. The comments regarding how easy it is to find an outlet seem dated to me. Public/private entities increasingly are discouraging charging due to 1) Safety. As an example, my regional rail now explicitly forbids bike battery...

    Help finding a charger

    The scooter manufacturer might be out of business, but the battery manufacturer is still around. I'd contact them to get a connector ID and possible recommendation on how to source a charger. I doubt they still make this battery, but it won't hurt you to reach out...

    Delite with ortlieb paniers

    R&M makes TuffCoat foil available (free) via your dealer to protect the rack. Comes in sheets and actually works well. Don't know if they've continued the practice -- I was given some in 2022.

    Touch up paint

    The frame tape is still a good suggestion if you ever sell the bike. I used it on a non-electric Bianchi, and the paint looked like new when I sold it after 7 years of use. Got my asking price bc appearance is what sells, for better or for worse.

    Multiple Rohloff issues on Supercharger

    I also replaced an E14 shifter and can confirm that the recalibration is necessary.

    SuperDelite 2020 Rohloff HS Issues & Support

    Didn't you report at the time that you experienced oil leaks and a cable problem caused E14 shifting problems? Wasn't the cable specific to E14? https://forums.electricbikereview.com/threads/known-issues-problems-with-riese-mueller-products-help-solutions-fixes.12917/page-14#post-585254

    Multiple Rohloff issues on Supercharger

    :Really, there are only two issues with the leaking. 1) oil on the brake rotors 2) $10k+ ebikes often get kept indoors. In the olden days, a little leaking in the garage was not much different from fluids released from cars, lawnmowers, etc.

    Multiple Rohloff issues on Supercharger

    Re: Rohloff reliability Mechanical (non-E14) users tend to be satisfied with their Rohloff hub except for the chronic leaking some experience, even after using less oil, replacing seals etc, etc. Having suffered both the leaking and E-14 problems (locked into 14, ugh, with incorrect gears...

    Bosch Solar Charging

    I've done this as well on longer trips, but I've also used the Bosch travel adapter with a smaller "power station" capable of pass-thru charging. The chief benefit is compact storage & various outlets to simultaneously charge other electronics. The primary drawback is the 72W limit. I'm guessing...

    Bosch Solar Charging

    Note: Adapter required for what looks like an XLR plug to connect to Bosch (batteries manufactured between between Classic and Smart System, i.e., the majority of batteries out there in circulation). The Bosch travel charger (no longer in production) is a 12V CLA charger with the Bosch plug...

    Nyon and Rohloff e14 Forgets Start Gear Setting

    Mine worked as intended for a short while. Then I had to reset the start gear occasionally. Then, more frequently, until it ceased maintaining my setting entirely.

    Long distance travel by Ebike

    A plus is that of the brands, you're most likely to come across Trek or Trek-affiliated shops on your ride. Are you staying in hotels/motels or camping?

    Nyon and Rohloff e14 Forgets Start Gear Setting

    it may well take place in the shifting unit, but it is in the display (nyon was under discussion) where the end user gets visual confirmation that the user choice for starting gear has been overridden by Rohloff or Bosch. In my case, my choice of 4 or 5 was always replaced by 1. This is the...

    Pinion Motor.Gearbox.Unit (MGU)

    I have a hard time imagining the retrofit is with the end user in mind, at least not as a feature option. My guess: Pinion is practically giving these away. Just like the gearbox for the Lectric One. If all goes well, Pinion acquires quick market share. If not, R&M bails.
