Not a fan of the aesthetics on the new model. It looks too "heavy" and busy to my eye overall. OMG what is with that top battery cover! Like @MD99 I am struggling to see where and why regarding the weight increase. Two of those and an e-bike carrier is going to push many towbar limits...

As a previous Merc AMG SUV owner, I am keeping my nobbies on my Superdelite Mountain for looks and just in case 😂 I ride way less single track these days, and I’ll possibly get a Homage for my next bike as a replacement…but currently the noise certainly lets walkers know on a shared path I am...

We started our R&M love affair back in Melbourne in 2019. I think we spotted our first one within a year - one of the cargo bike options. We saw several others subsequently. We have been back in NZ for 2 years and haven’t seen another one yet! Mind you we live in the South Island where there...

@Nickb I see in your other thread on tyres that you changed out your stem for the standard Superdelite stem and handlebars. How easy was it, and photos please.

It is most likely rear shock pressure. Check pressure matches your total rider wait. Your bike should have come with a shock pump/ pressure guage. Failing that you might need the rear shock replaced.

The internet will be amplifying the apparent occurrence of the issue - not good for those experiencing the problem however. Nearly 3 years on mine, no leaks. I do make sure it is never laid on its side however.

With larger battery capacities, rolling resistance is becoming less relevant in most use cases I would think? Thanks for the link, it was an interesting and informative read.

Ive been running with Tannus Tyre Armour for 3 yers - fingers crossed not a puncture to be seen in that time, same for my wife's Homage. P.S. @sammcneill When I was riding lots of single track I used to deflate my tires to around 18psi for max grip - the Tannus allows this kind of punishment...

At first I noticed it, but now I don’t. Not sure if that helps!

Yes down in Dunedin. We have ridden the route most of the way on both sides of the harbour but with the 5km or so section near Port Chalmers still missing but due for completion about now. It was very scenic indeed, and the completed off road circular ride will be around 45km with a 15 minute...

I went from a 2019 Delite Vario to a 2020 Superdelite Mountain to get extra range. It was prompted because (I believe) of a software bug in the smartphone system that kept throwing an error associated with modding the motor (503 I think it was), hence diasabling it at random times. Bosch...

There you go, business opportunity doing a cosmetic+protection version.

To be fair I love my factory “tundra grey matte” on my Superdelite Mountain. I do love the burnt orange/bronze on the old Superdelite too, which I could be tempted to convert to.

That is a great design solution. To be fair, some cyclists can be just as bad - mainly the weight weenie acoustic bike riders without bells riding as if it was an olympic time trial!

Looking forward to someone knowledgeable replying. We would have got a Load by now if I could have solved transporting it without a van/large trailer!

My SD Mountain has no kickstand either, so I have become an expert of placing my bike just so it balances perfectly against anything taller than 30cm 😊

Most likely. I was going off the metrics R&M use to define the distance travelled. 1.9m to 10.15m per pedal rotation for the Superdelite, compared to 1.57m to 8.4m on the SD Mountain.

Sam will have ridden some good hills given he rides the Port Hills in Christchurch. I've ridden up the World's steepest street, here in Dunedin NZ, with my Rohloff fitted Superdelite Mountain - better climbing gear ratio than the standard Superdelite. I didn't even get out of my saddle! 85kg...

Congrats, and great write up many will find useful. Thanks for taking the time to convert to metric too. If you end up like me, you will swop out for a superdelite eventually cos that comfy ride demands riding further than the single battery affords 😊

Just think what the bill would have been to have a European car serviced! I'm a glass half full guy :)
