I've been commuting by bike for a few years now - I haven't got a R&M yet, but cycling saves me £200 per month on train fares - although I do have to spend on cycling clothes, tyres, chains etc every so often. It also saves me £50 per month on the gym. On that basis, this bike would pay for itself in 3 years, give or take. Also saving the planet a bit and all that shit.

I'm currently waiting for my Charger3 GT Vario HS to ship to Seattle next month. When I first started looking at ebikes 2 months ago I laughed at the R&M price tag.... After finding what I wanted in an ebike, it looked like R&M was the only one offering the particular options (belt drive, great bosch motor, drive train that can with stand motor+human torque, partial suspension). It just so happens these options really bring the price tag up and severely limit the selection that's available. Definitely try riding one at a bike shop (or something with similar components). I don't think I'd ever be able to make such a purchase without test driving first.

Hmm. The dropper seat post and the extra suspension travel are sounding good now. Especially as I'm 115kg and 197cm. I will mostly ride roads and asphalt paths but I guess with the two batteries you dont worry too much about rolling resistance on the road and the tyre noise is probably less than the motor. If I dont like the knobbly GX tyres for roads I can just swap them out before a road trip. I will get the 25kmh version though. Thanks for the review.

I think on asfalt the std susp is good enough. Your weight will probably make the susp work better. I usually ride off-road so for me the GX would suit me better. But you should of course test yourself before buying. Good luck!

Thank you for your kind words and the sub! This is not my own bike, I only borrowed it for a few days to do this review. I am more into MTB so if I would get the MTB version of this bike if I was going to buy it, or at least the GX version (If I rememeber it correctly). I don't want to be limited to only tarmac and gravel. I don't think I would upgrade an expensive bike like this, I would probably buy the right version from the start, in the end that is better use of money since forks e t c are more expensive to buy separately. I could live with the brakes, they are good enough. But I was a bit disappointed buy the fork. It worked ok on tarmac, but not so well when it gets a bit rougher. If I was to upgrade, I would probably upgrade to a better fork, like a RS Lyric at least and then I would have the option to easily change to 200 or 220 mm rotors in the front without having to use an adapter. This bike is all about reliability, sturdiness speed and range. Personally I am looking for playful eMTBs instead, like the Specialized Turbo Levo SL but that is an entierly different concept.

One question, do you think the delight version of this bike with the suspension upgrades would be suitable for trail use with tree roots and rocks? I had been considering a mtn bike but they are all speed limited where I can use the hs version of the delight for off road and commuting. Would love to hear your opinion.
@MTBs4 жыл бұрын
Hi Paul and thanks for the sub! You have got number 397. 😆 I think it would be ok for occasional off road use, but it is miles apart from a proper MTB such as this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/faDNZnSGmsuBmtE I have not ridden the GX version, and I don't remember what fork it has got. If it is the Fox 34 I would say it is not enough on a heavy bike such as this. The Fox 36 would be a better match (have tested both versions). But in the end I highly doubt it would be any fun to ride as a MTB on other stuff than fire roads and smooth tracks. It shouldn't be confused with a proper MTB, it would be more of a "sightseeing" or adventure bike. There is also a mountain bike version of the delight with beefier components. That bike would probably handle roots and rocks better. On paper I think the Delight Mountain is more of an adventure bike for big days out. If you want to get airborne you should look for something else, but there is nothing wrong with a planted bike. Just different styles. I think it is difficult to combine a good commuter bike with a fun MTB to be honest. I don't know how long your commute is or what your trails look like. Is it the 45 km/h version you are after and is it 95% commute and 5% off road mostly on fire roads - sure it would be a good match. Enduro trails - no chance. Cheers! //Olof PS. A lot of guess work from my side here, you should really test the bike in person before forking out that kind of money. It is nothing like experiencing a bike yourself.

If it's still there its yours! 😆 I tried to pedal it without assist for a short while and I think you can do it for a few km if you run out of batteries, but it is not fun in any sense. In my case I still had the batteries in so the bike weighed the full 32 kg. Maybe without the batteries it is a little bit easier. I felt that even in eco mode it was a bit heavy, eco mode is only good for slow cruising in my opinion if you are not looking for doing some proper workout. So in short, pedal power only could be done as a last resort, but only for shorter distances if you are not very fit of course. Good luck on your future adventures!

Late answer but might help, with the gen4 engine its very doable based on facts (as in i tracked the amount of watts i as a human put in) I tested 'tour' mode at 25km/h and had to put in 110watts of human power. Turning the support of on the same road/moment if i put in 110watts i went 17km/h. So for normal biking in the netherland 16km/h is avg and also the 110watts is not weird for that speed. So if you loose power just assume you will drop back in speed mostly which is fine if needed. In fact since the avg of none ebike here is 16km/h you can and i have turned support of when riding relaxed with someone else.

Well done 1st review. Would have been great, if you had also mentioned the drink bottle design for this bike though. Personally, I wished Germany, where I live, would treat S-Pedelecs less as an annoyance by law. You are not allowed to do most things your are allowed to do with a Pedelec or generally any other regular Bicycle; it's essentially treated as if it was a ICE powered Motorbike and you cannot use bike lanes and have to ride on the country road (where cars come with over 100kph from behind), even though there is a perfectly fine bike lane next to the road. If S-Pedelecs would not be treated so badly in Germany, I would probably get one and be able to cut significant use of public transport off of my commute.

Hi Joe and thanks! Did mention the clever bottle holder solution briefly, but that was probably easy to miss. But I really liked the idea of having 2 bottle holders within easy reach. I am not sure how 45 km/h bikes are treated here in Spain, if they are allowed in bike lanes or not. I am from Sweden and I think it is the same thing as in Germany there - they are not allowed in bike lanes. In general I think there should be more development of infrastructre around bike and pedelec alternatives, especially in warmer countries where it is possible/easy to bike all year round. Take care! //Olof

It's the same in the UK. You technically have to have number plates, insurance, motor vehicle tax disc and a motorcycle helmet. After 3 years your bike will need an MOT or road-worthiness test. So most people, I'm guessing (cough, not me), just take the risk that the police aren't going to know the difference between this and a standard e-bike. You just need to make damn sure you don't run into anyone, or blast past the cops doing 30mph.

If it had a more tradition real rack it would have been a better looking bike. But I do appreciate the Rohloff IGH

I have this bike now for 2 months. I have lots of problems until now. 625 Bosch battery was dead and replaced under warranty. Now my bike does not work because of a 550 error. Dealer is not able to find the problem yet. I am not very impressed by the service and quality of this bike. The components are top not h but the electronics cause lots of problems.

Ouch, sorry to hear about your problems! Didn't think Bosch still had those issues any longer... All standard equipment on the bike and no extra lights or anything? I think, since it is an expensive premium bike and that R&M has got a reputation (especially with reliability and quality) to think of, you should claim a new bike all together if they cannot solve your problems.

The cause of the error 550 was an internal cable of the front light which was damaged. Crazy this can happen on a new €9000 bik after 500km. I am not happy with the Riese Müller quality so far

1 year later and my R&M SuperDelite was €10,100 so you got a bargain.

Chatted with another KZbinr who owns a Superdelight, (kzbin.info/door/_N_4BIbenD8ALZStj586NA). He claims that he gets >260 km in eco mode with the 1125 Wh batteries. That's amazing!!!
