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.
Charging two 604 Wh Specialized batteries at a hotel. Four hours and a half, and the batteries were ready to be used again.
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.
I also believe it was originally designed to handle more than 2 batteries.

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.
Just went on R&M website to get some weight information and they just added an ABS option to the Homage. No price info yet. Cant use front rack with it. https://www.r-m.de/en-en/bikes/homage/homage-gt-vario-hs/#F00518_0401081006

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.
My bike shop is talking to a rep today to get some information prior to me ordering on timing. Not sure if that will give any real information but I will let you all know if I get any info. If they still do not have old orders in production any new ones will most certainly be very late.

John,
The Bosch ebike ABS is only available in certain EU countries, not on USA models.
Trust me, I asked about that both directly with R&M and with Bosch customer service before ordering mine.
They currently do not even have an extended forecast of when they might consider offering it in the USA.

I’m pretty sure I paid less than half that for mine (625Wh horizontal travel cover). But since I’d probably want two for transporting the bike on rack in the rain, yeah, 100$ US sounds about right for a pair.

Yep just realized I was on the EU web site.
You'll be pleased to know that there's no discrimination with the United States

Hallo! Bei uns ging alles sowas von schnell... Ich hatte schon ein wenig Angst bzgl. Verzögerung beim Liefertermin. Wir haben das Riese und Müller Charger3 GT vario und Charger3 Mixte GT vario am 05.01.2021 bestellt und am 16.01.2021 den Anruf bekommen, dass wir die eBikes abholen können. Der...

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.

Getting close to putting in the order. My wife is still liking the white bike so I think we are going to go with the smaller size in white and an extra battery for her and a blue med size dual battery for me. Plan on putting in the order this week. and then we will see when it comes.

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.
