Einstraus,
I got my Charger3 2 weeks ago. Let me tell you, the wait is well worth it. It is just pure pleasure to ride. Hang in there.

Ordered my Vario HS Charger 3 yesterday, trying to negotiate free or discounted airfreight, so I can receive sooner rather than later...
Looking forward to this SUV.

One thing for sure, R&M make nice looking bikes.
Hi Captivboy! It's a CX... I'm in Canada and HS is not available. Yes I got the 625W battery. unfortunately the folding lock is not keyed alike

She is a beauty. Are you aware of the supplemental Abus chain that plugs into the frame lock that came on your bike? It makes the frame lock way more secure as you can then attach it to a pole with a hardened chain. Here is a LINK

I just heard the BC provincial government is going to drop the 7% sales tax on e-bikes if they get a majority government. The 5% federal tax still applies and there are no taxes on bicycles. With an expensive R&M that a significant savings. I ordered a 2021 Mulitcharger Mixte and hoping this applies to my purchase.

That looks interesting. Is that something that would also work on a SD? Where does it plug in?

congrats, i got exact same specs in luxembourg.
i have one question though, when you pedal without motor engaged, do you hear any noise while putting some effort to make bike push forward ? i was expecting total quiet operation but actually each time i turn the pedals i hear some gentle buzz each half turn from the motor area.
thx for info.
I ordered the Mulitcharger Mixte because of the cargo capacity and the bigger rear rack. The Charger GT 3 is OK if you want bigger tires (27.5 inch rims) but I I don't see the option available of the Multicharger models to change the wheels to 27.5 inches. Just curious why after years with 26ers you feel this way?
I have a couple of Tern's that have 20" and 24" wheels and honestly I do prefer the larger diameter. The ride feels more stable (simple physics) and its a heavier bike that contributes to its ride quality. This is subjective of course.
