Good feedback, thanks! I guess we may be hitting some geographical/cultural differences here. I live in Europe and many people spend hours (including myself - mainly pre-Covid) in the car commuting, not because we have to drive far, but because we are stuck in traffic jams. The train is often a...

Thanks for all the answers so far. After reading some more reviews on the Brompton I don’t think that bike is for me. I don’t like the reviews of the motor and don’t like the battery backpack on a plastic mount. The gocycle on the other hand is something else. I can’t seem to find a negative...

That may be a valid point indeed. How do you know the fold of the gocycle is smaller than that of the Hercules or the Tern? I guess the brompton is indeed the smallest of the pack, but I’m reading mixed reviews on that one (and unfortunately I have been unable to take it for a test drive).

Hi, Since a few weeks I'm thinking of selling my high speed e-bike and purchasing a foldable e-bike ('normal' speed) instead. That way I can more easily combine car, train and bike. I'm leaning towards one with a belt since I assume this will be easier maintenance-wise and it might avoid oily...

I've sent you a PM ;). I am not such a handyman, so I counted on the shop to make the modifications. I'm not sure which modifications they made, but I'm happy to send you pictures should you wish. I can only say that I'm happy about the result ;).

I paid 60 euros, plus 60 for the stem.

Recently I purchased a R&M Supercharger Nuvinci HS, and I was very happy with it. However, I felt some discomfort after long bike rides, and maintaining a steady high speed was not always easy. I searched around on other fora, and someone recommended me to go and see a bikefitter. I didn't...

Very, very nice :D. I need to wait for my license plate, so can't make too long trips yet. I made a small tour though, and the modified cog is awesome. I basically cannot hit the max gear anymore on a flat surface, which I easily could on the test bike without the modification. 40km/h is a...

Supercharger Nuvinci ready for delivery next week. It has actually already arrived, but the sprocket will be changed for a more comfortable cadence. Looking forward to it! Purchased an extra charger & a fluorescent side cycle bag. Still doubting about the helmet I will wear.

I’ve ordered the Supercharger Nuvinci HS! This seems the most sensible option for my requirements. The Homage Rohloff had a much higher gear (did a test drive), however they told me they could put a different cog so I would not notice the difference. I’ve read different opinions here and I’m not...

It's only becoming more confusing :). I have the opportunity to test drive a Supercharger HS Nuvinci, and a Homage HS Rohloff. However, according to the brochure, the Homage has a much higher gear range compared to the Supercharger. So I guess that's not going to be a representative test.

Just to be sure: David Berry says the Nuvinci HS should be faster than the Rohloff HS when cruising at the highest gear. What you're saying seems to be the opposite?

Thanks, you explained it very well and now I understand the numbers that are mentioned in the bike’s description. One question though. You say the nuvinci’s top speed is lower. But according to the documentation the Nuvinci travels more meters per pedal turn: 9.54m, compared to 8.84 for the...

In the Citrus Cycles review about the supercharger Rohloff they say: “in gear 14 I can go 65 km/h and my feet still aren’t spinning too fast..” Anyone who can confirm that? I’m having a hard time getting a Rohloff test drive.. Definitely this was a no go with the Delite Nuvinci.

Still in doubt, but I'm going to make my decision end of this week. The Ritzelrechner confuses me, since the Delite has 62-584 tires. The ritzelrechner only goes up to 60-584, meaning the Nuvinci is yet a notch faster than I thought. This contradicts with the test drive I did and where I felt...

75 seems like a good cadence, and is consistent with the information provided by the calculator. I think I'll go with the Delite Nuvinci.

I tested a 45km/h assisted bike, which in practice should keep on assisting until let's say 42-43km/h. Therefore it is quite easy to reach a high cadence. The high gear range then becomes the bottleneck.

Thanks for the input. I'm starting to wonder if perhaps something was wrong with the Nuvinci that I tested. I've found this thread, where 'over50' seems to have the exact same complaint as I have. BurbManDan replied that it is highly unlikely that the highest gear would be too low. Moreover...

Going 33 with the Nuvinci was very comfortable. However this was the average speed (including stops). To actually reach that average, I had to go a lot faster most of the time. I started to have problems with the cadence as soon as I was going 35-38km/h or more and the cadence really was...

He mentioned it in the context of the Nuvinci Delite after I came back from my test drive. Anyway I don’t blame him, these things are very new and we’re all learning. However, I’ll challenge him on this topic to see what he says. Amen. But still, I don’t expect to do my commute more than two...
