    Multicharger specs

    I wondered about this myself... I spoke with the guys at the local bike shop and they told me that they suspect it is an error on the website.

    Multicharger specs

    The non-Mixte does have a straight handlebar... I replaced mine with a Metropolis handlebar and find the ride to be more upright and significantly more comfortable for my wrists, elbows and shoulders. The higher upper frame bar is a challenge given the size of the bike; I guess I'm a...

    Multicharger specs

    Hi Coho... I'm 185 cm and purchased the 51cm Multicharger. This is a big, heavy, behemoth and I almost wish I had chosen one frame size smaller... almost... Getting on and off this bike is a task until you get the hang of it. Further, if you use any sort of rear bike trunk or basket be aware...

    Multicharger specs

    I ordered a Multicharger sight unseen... I spent lots of time on the RM website comparing the different models and chatted with the RM brand manager at a local bike shop. I wanted a big bike that would carry me (6'1"; 250lbs) and some cargo without difficulty. I also wanted a mostly upright...

    Multicharger specs

    Rear rack is 61cm. This is not precisely accurate as I used an iPhone app to do the measurement… I suspect that 63cm is more accurate.

    Fun with Racktime Rack

    I did essentially the same thing using the BASIL MIK system. Built a template of the connecting bolts location of the piece of the connector that attaches to the bottom of the trunk bag or basket so that I would have correct alignment for attaching bag to connector. What I did to firm the...

    Multicharger specs

    Hi Eric: My Multicharger arrived in late Feb, 21. The cafe lock does NOT retain the key unlocked position. You use the key to engage the lock and then use the key to disengage the lock, removing the key after either function. By the way, the key for the cafe lock is also used to unlock/relock...

    R & M not built as specified?

    Checked the underside of the rear brake handle and there it is... a "4" with a tiny "four" next to it. I had to use the magnifier app on my phone to read it. So, it is a MT4 on the rear and an MT5 on the front. When it comes time to get new pads, I will explore m@Robertson's helpful...

    R & M not built as specified?

    Thanks for the quick response however I'm not so sure... the front brake is clearly quite different from the rear brake.

    R & M not built as specified?

    Hi All: I think I read a thread about R&M not delivering a bike as specced... can't find it. I have a new Multicharger that is specced by R&M as having Magura MT5 and Magura MT4 brakes. The front brake has "5" on the lever while the rear has "MT." I've reached out to Magura asking them to help...

    2023 SuperLight R&M: Fantasy thread

    Thanks for this info. If and when I have to replace tires I will look into tubeless. Tighter handling would be much appreciated.

    2023 SuperLight R&M: Fantasy thread

    I selected a R&M Multicharger because I wanted a heavy bike. I get loads-o-exercise peddling this big beast and when I feel spent, I kick in the motor and enjoy the assistance.

    How much deposit to order a new R & M?

    Local bike shop wanted $1,000 deposit (refundable if I decided to not buy the bike) at time of order. I bought the bike (Multicharger) and paid the remainder when I picked it up.

    Time from order to delivery.

    I ordered a Multicharger Vario on November 3rd, 2020 through a local bike shop; I gave them $1,000. deposit. Shop guy told me that R&M would not be building the Multicharger line until some time in February 2021. Around February 23rd I was alerted that my bike was built and would likely arrive...
