    Using Copilot AI to find my next eBike

    So I've spent 10mins getting MSFT's Copilot to try find my next eBike. I fed it this prompt: and then told it what I like/don't like about my SC2: After some back and forwards I got it to reformat all the suggestions based on those that support a Gates belt drive (my preference) and those that...

    Shorter cranks on SuperCharger 2

    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...

    Delite Touring in NZ

    I saw this from an Auckland, New Zealand based eBike store. They're hosting a guy who biked the length of NZ on a Delite as part of the Tour Aotearoa route (Tour Aotearoa: Home) and then came back via the Sounds to Sounds route (Tour Aotearoa: Sound to Sound) Impressive stuff! Looks like it's...

    Spotted an older R&M in Switzerland

    I’m on holiday and in Lausanne today (a long way from New Zealand!) and I’ve been impressed with the number of e-bikes kitted out for carrying young kids around. I saw this one today - I don’t even recognise the model?! I’m enjoying Lausanne - looking out over Lake Geneva this morning and...

    Possible to convert an Enviolo to a Rohloff?

    Hey brains trust. I’ve an SC2 high speed with Enviolo - Many threads here around how it’s under geared for high speed and cadence too high to maintain 40kph or above. Got me thinking - would it be possible to replace Enviolo with standard Rohloff hub and manual shifter ? I’m not talking about...

    Tubed vs Tubeless - what are you doing on your R&M?

    So this happened to me on my commute home yesterday: Instant deflation - was riding on the rim before I could even come to a full stop safely - not good! I'm running tubeless on my gravel bike and eMTB now and got me thinking about going tubeless on my SuperCharger 2. I have really liked the...

    Hypotheticals - would you replace your R&M with another R&M??

    So I was riding my SuperCharger2 home in the rain tonight and drivers were crazy - narrowly avoided a few near crashes. It got me thinking, if my R&M was stolen / destroyed in an accident or for some other reason no longer available to me, would I replace it? So a couple of questions to spark...

    Transporting Cargo eBikes (specially Dutch style)

    Hi, My parents are 70yrs and 69yrs of age - they have two Specialized Como eBikes about 5yrs old now. They got a dog mid-pandemic and now really want to ride with him but he's a bit too big for basket on the front of the bike type riding. I've shown them the R&M Load/Packster style e-Cargo...

    A serendipitous meeting

    Hi guys, I’m currently doing a 5 day, 550km bikepacking adventure on a non-eBike. However, on day 2 I crossed a river ford and paused at the rise just beyond the exit, and saw two e-bikes coming towards me. One was an R&M Load & the other a late Model Delite. I stopped and chatted, warning...

    Any tips for reinserting rubber battery cover?

    😡😡 so angry right now! In a moment of inattention I pulled off the rubber battery cover for my SC2: Any one have tips for pushing the rubber plug back into the hole? It just bends around when applying force. Just so annoyed with myself!

    Reduced eBike range in *really* cold weather?

    Hi Team, Winter has hit in my part of the world and it's cold by our standards: That's 10am. IT's been cold all week and I'm anecdotally observing the range on my SC2 seems to be dropping faster than I'd expect. I'm half wondering if this is simply psychosomatic and self-fulfilling, or...
