    Motor noise?

    I’ll keep updating this thread as I get more info in case someone else has the same experience where they buy two (almost) identical bikes and they feel different.

    Motor noise?

    I took the bike to the shop and they downloaded the motor config. They asked me to bring in the other bike so that they can send both to Bosch. I asked for the files and the shop said they would ask if they can do that and get back to me. The load60 is definitely more grindy and whiny than the...

    Motor noise?

    Good point. Both bikes are the touring high speed option with dual batteries. I believe the motors are identical — cargo line speed or something like that.

    Motor noise?

    Hello, My wife and I swallowed the R-M pill during this COVID time. She has a Load75 and I have a Load60. Her motor is much much quieter than mine. Does anyone know if this is something tunable? Possible causes? Thanks! Marek

    2021–2022 Riese & Müller Homage

    I’m not sure what the terms are but I had to pay in full at The New Wheel in SF for my Homage+highspeed+rohloff. That said, after they told me there will be delays I bailed and bought a Load60 they had in stock. This way my wife and I can ride around during Xmas break. SF weather is ridiculous.

    Serial number on Load75?

    thanks, I’m looking for a number that isn’t easily removable - since this number is for the police in case my bike is stolen. I’ll hunt around for that frame number.

    Serial number on Load75?

    Hi, Anyone know where to find the serial number on the Load75? I'm trying to register the bike with San Francisco police and they ask for that -- presumably it would help if it was somewhere on the frame? The one I see is on a sticker with the VIN-like number (this Load75 is a high speed)...

    Homage vs Delite - help!

    Hi everyone, wanted to thank you for your recommendations. I stopped by The New Wheel in SF this afternoon and tried the Delite again. I love the aesthetics but the riding position is too far forward for me. I'm 6', 160lbs and have fragile wrists from too many years of programming. I tried a...

    Homage vs Delite - help!

    @Jay Kay You recommend the Fox shock, what about this GX option on the Delite? Seems to bundle a few things including an air shock from Suntour? If one is spending 10k, what’s another 200$?

    Homage vs Delite - help!

    Thank you both for this. I think I will stop at The New Wheel again and test ride the Delite. Maybe ask them to adjust the handlebars up as high as they will go. Ravi: Thanks for the word of confidence about the Rohloff. Jay Kay: When you you notice the weight of the Homage? When riding? When...

    Homage vs Delite - help!

    Hi everyone, I’ve been lurking for a couple of weeks enjoying the conversation since we bought a Load75 from The New Wheel in San Francisco (Touring HS, dual battery, kid carrier, smartphone dock). In brief, it’s magical and we are looking for a companion to it. That feeling of being at the...
