The process of discharging the dual battery on R&M e-bikes is very interesting. Regarding the charging, I might agree that charging both batteries with two individual chargers might seem complicated but it is indeed practical and very fast.
It's not an R&M thing, it's a dual battery Bosch design, i imagine it works the same for other dual battery Bosch ebikes.
We have this rack and the ramp. It is easy to use but when you are loading two bikes there is a clearance problem rolling the second bike onto the rack with the first bike in place. Handlebars, cranks etc get in the way. Also, I found the Super Delight is so large that it made removing the ramp impossible without modifying the hooks that engage the rack a bit. All that said we have been every happy with the Kuat rack and carry two R&M bikes (with batteries removed) all the time.
Thanks for the info.
We ordered 2 bikes early September when the 2021 specs were released (Superdelite & Homage) .... the Superdelite was delivered at the end of October 1 week ahead of schedule and the Homage was due 2-3 weeks later. Unfortunately each time the date has got within a week or so my dealer has informed me of a further 4 week slippage. We have just been told over this weekend that we are looking at a week 8 build week and that all Homage bikes are affected .... I have no reason to doubt my dealer as they have been brilliant on all aspects (OnBike) ... Just have to wait for the bike and hopefully its delivered with better weather.
Yep just realized I was on the EU web site.
Early days, but these are some of the photo's i've seen, look a bit different to each other within the same major model.
Scott, do you have issue with the fenders on the bike not working with this rack? My be an issue with the Homage.
No, it hasn't been a problem. My Super Delight hs fenders. We have a Homage as well as the SD and have also used it to carry Haibike and Easy Motion with fenders. I make sure that the front tire hold down is very tight. You can usually tighten it a notch or two past the point where it initially contacts the tire if you lean into it a bit and doing this makes me more comfortable though it may not really be necessary.
Thanks for the help. One more if you do not mind, do you use the clamp down over the fender or in front of it? I see some people stop in front of the fender and not near the frame.
In front, very close to the edge of the fender.
