Sounds exactly what I’m looking for
At 71 I try to keep my adventures sane (excluding my motorcycle passion)
A plush like Ebike is good. I have also heard the Homage described as “SUV like” which is also OK by me.
Paying a premium for that second battery/frame design - extra AUD 1,889.00!2021 Riese & Muller : Dual Battery Configuration …
- 1250 Wh — 2 x 625 Wh PowerTube
- Is it possible/practical to carry a third battery?
- New battery charge cover — the 2019–20 was difficult to close.
- Bottle attachment on top of top tube — exactly where it should be!
- Front carrier option.
Although it has less travel suspension capabilities than the SD due to lack of GX shocks, the new Homage looks to be a better engineered bike as compared with the SD. Very little space was wasted in the Homage so to speak, the 1,250wh of well-concealed battery is insane, everything looks so integrated and seamless. The SD -- by comparison -- looks very modular.
+1It would be interesting to see a weight comparison between the 100mm suspension Superdelite and the 2021 dual battery Homage. Does the step through frame make for a heavier bike?

The R&M website has the information to do this but isn't smart enough
In their defense i should have said "isn't quite" as it is fairly decent, it does provide more details than many other ebike sites.+1

I do agree. After bike configuration, all specification details are given.In their defense i should have said "isn't quite" as it is fairly decent, it does provide more details than many other ebike sites.
EUR 8000? Uh, oh. I feel I need a better car instead...
I like the new Homage specs though.

I wonder why R&M don't follow their Delite/Superdelite naming convention with the Homage.Unfortunately, the same 33.7kg appears for a 625Wh 49cm configuration. So none the wiser?
I wonder why R&M don't follow their Delite/Superdelite naming convention with the Homage.
Anyway, there is a 3.1 kg difference between the two Delites, so my first guess is that there is a similar difference between the Homages.
The second guess will have to be yours. Is 33.7 kg the weight with dual or single battery? (Surely the dual battery version!)
- Delite : 28.8 kg
- Superdelite : 31.9 kg
The Delite / Superdelite data certainly suggest 33.7kg for the dual battery version. All will be revealed when my 1250Wh bike arrives (January?).
Do you think those battery covers can be used without the battery? I can't see how they would attach to the frame but it may be possible. I'm thinking of removing the battery to reduce weight on the bike rack and would like some rain protection.
