    New , Gazelle Eclipse , Class 3 , Bosch Smart System

    Hell no they don't, there's been more and more e-bikes out there which is great to see. Anytime someone rolls up on an e bike I hop on the wheel, best draft out there!!

    Rear derailleur life expectancy

    5k miles on the original cassette is suspect. If they install those new parts a new cable and housing is required too. The fact that they didn't replacement is a key suspect, it's a cheap wear item, replace before you "think" you need it.

    Rear derailleur life expectancy

    Did they change the cable and housing too? How much stretch on the chain? When was the cassette replaced? How do the teeth on the pulley/jockey wheels look? Way too many variables to blame the least failure prone part.

    Lbs refuses service due to insurance?

    I can chime in from the shop perspective should anyone wonder why they'd get that answer. For us there's a few big variables that dictate what we're willing to have in our building and deal with. 1) We want short queue times for clients that DID purchase bikes from us. This is getting more...

    Bosch Smartphone Hub bracket - JUNK

    Nope, I'm saying the opposite. Bosch kept the names the same (or very similar) on their drive units, displays, and batteries so it's easy to mix up. The Kiox, Nyon, and Smartphone Hub share the same wiring harness and can be swapped. The Kiox 300, Purion 100, and Smartphone Grip are all...

    Bosch Smartphone Hub bracket - JUNK

    Smartphone Hub is for the Active family of drive units and battery, Smartphone Grip is for the Smartsystem family. Not cross compatible. As previously mentioned you can trade out the Hub for a Kiox or Nyon and still charge your device and use the app. R&M is the only brand we sell that equips...

    Bike that can carry an extra rider

    Every brand has a different philosophy. Tern, for instance, is all about a compact footprint so smaller wheels = less space. Yuba does it for the deck height as mentioned. Benno uses a few different sizes, 24" on the Boost.

    Longshot: RAL color codes for red R&M frame enamel?

    It's not R&M's fault, it's the hazmat status of shipping paint in the US. BMW, Ducati, Triumph, and other high end moto companies don't sell touch up paint either.

    Longshot: RAL color codes for red R&M frame enamel?

    Official word is no color code is available. Should someone want touch up paint a body shop should be able to match the color and mix up a bottle for touch up.

    Longshot: RAL color codes for red R&M frame enamel?

    We had a Multicharger that just arrived with some bumps and bruises. I just asked this question to R&M direct and will keep you posted with their reply.

    Bye bye, cardboard boxes. Riese & Müller’s surprising new way to deliver e-bikes

    Man that author is pretty bitter and jaded. R&M is already 100% cardboard. I suspect this reusable packaging will work well in the EU, doubt we'll see it over here in NA since there's no warehouse (yet) so shipping stuff back and forth to Munich doesn't make a ton of sense.

    Superdelite front wheel quick release axel

    Which model Sueprdelite do you have, Touring, Vario, or Rohloff? R&M has some particular things in their manual but the general consensus is correct, you're welcome to work on your own stuff. That phrase is likely intended for warranty work which an authorized dealer must perform. The front...

    Used HSD

    They just released the 2nd gen, I'd offer $3k. There's still leftover gen 1 S11's brand new for $4249. I had one, awesome bike. Ditched it for the GSD because it just didn't have quite the beans to have a passenger and tow a trailer, IMO

    CUBE 500 Hybrid e-cargo bike

    Can't recall how long the bike is and we only get the Sport version here in the US, but I can help with Enviolo and overall Cube Cargo impressions. Probably my favorite riding front loader!! The 27.5 wheel in the back is nice for rollover capabilities, steering feels great, overall a very...
