    Has Bosch opened up their charging protocol?

    The Grin Satiator now has a Bosch plug. This new charger now exists with a Bosch plug: https://www.lionsmartcharger.com/ (220-240VAC only, not for the U.S.) is this going to be another "Cobi"? This has got to be using some GAN(https://gansystems.com/gallium-nitride-semiconductor/) tech. to get...

    New Multicharger 750/1125/1250 & DIY Solar

    Assumption is that to provide a Powertube 750 + Powerpack 500 Multicharger (1250Wh) R&M would have to supply an older "Standard" charger along with the new "Smart System" 4A charger, not a desirable scenario i guess. So it's either 750Wh (max) with "Smart System" or 1125WH with "Old" tech. Will...

    For a 2018 SuperCharger GX with 40mm MD-40 AlexRims. I tire of my current rear tyre. I like Schwalbe tyres and will stick with the Marathon Plus MTB 57-584 on the front, works well even on wet roads around corners. Tried SuperMotoX - too slippery on wet roads, too slippery on sandy or powdered...

    Improved service on the horizon from R&M?

    This article (one of a few) describes one of the new units as a "service department", sounds promising, might be a while until it's operational though. Also more space for R&D sounds promising too...

    Bosch long distance integrated battery touring ebike

    Is it such a small segment that only R&M are interested in this space? I believe in integrated powertubes because of 1) Protection & areodynamics of the battery & mount itself, 2) Security (keyed in), 3) Appearance. I love the idea of how the new dual battery Homage integrates 2 into the...

Of course providing you can get the 2 cables through your frame, etc. So i wonder if the Superdelite has space to fit 2 cables through. The Rohloff website mentions that the E14...
