2018 has been an exciting year in the electric bike world!
In this first part of the 2018 eBike roundup we will take a look at improvements in:

Electric Bike Report has already looked at several Riese & Müller models – from the Homage, New Charger, Delite and Packster ranges, all based around Riese & Müller’s unique and practical yet funkily attractive frame designs.
We’ve also taken a close look at the previous Nevo model here and here.
The Nevo design has been updated for 2019 with an inframe battery as standard and the option of a second battery mounted on the down tube.
The GX Rohloff variant is new for 2019, giving an off-road twist to the previous range that was orientated towards riding on hard surfaces and the electronically shifting Rohloff hub gears also add further gearing options not previously available to the ever expanding Nevo family. This model is priced at US $7099 GB £5319.
The off-road facet is combined with the most powerful of the Bosch mid-drives, the Performance Line CX.
The practical and easy to use low step-thru frame remains, now combining it’s excellent commuting, shopping and leisure riding credentials with off-road ability and low maintenance, evidenced by the Gates Carbon belt drive. [Read more…] about Riese & Müller Nevo GX Rohloff 2019 Ride Report [VIDEO]
The Plan
I’ve already outlined the planning stage of my e-bike camping trip in terms of equipment in a previous post.
I planned a two night trip from my home through some of the Southern Pennines most testing off-road tracks.
Two nights doesn’t sound particularly ambitious, but the idea of hauling around 17kg of camping gear on a single wheel trailer through very testing gradients, including some rocky single track starts to sound a bit more like a nice mixture of challenge and recreation.

In this week’s eBike news roundup:
Is this the most capable off-road e-bike out there?
We have already tried four high quality offerings from Riese & Müller; the New Charger, the Nevo, the Homage GT Nuvinci and the Packster 40 Nuvinci.
Whilst these bikes were all taken off-road to a greater or lesser degree they were not full-on mountain bikes.
By contrast Riese & Müller’s Delite Mountain Rohloff is not only a full-suspension e-mtb but it packs many features that other e-mtbs don’t, including a 1,000Wh dual battery system, Rohloff’s incredibly tough 14 hub gear system (with electronic shifting to boot), powerful LED lights and the option of a chunky rear pannier rack.
It’s totally unique and certainly on paper looks like a candidate for the title of Most Capable Off-road Bike in Serial Production Today.
Does it live up to this label? [Read more…] about Riese & Müller Delite Mountain Rohloff Ride Report [VIDEO]
