    Can you lose weight and get fit while riding an e-bike? That is what this video and upcoming videos will be all about. I currently weigh 262.2 pounds right before I went on my first R&M Homage 22-mile ride on November 24, 2021. I would love to hear from you in the comments plus I’ll do my best to answer any questions.
    Steve the owner of Seacoast Ebikes was amazing to work with and he also is a fellow Homage rider. He currently lost 42 pounds since owning his bike. I got a tour of the shop and I was AMAZED at how many Riese & Muller’s bikes he has in stock plus other e-bikes.

    Lovely ride, your Homage is cruising well. Living with heart & bone ills and leg/knee troubles, my dealer has talked me into this one. It assists us, the lame, the short and tall. That frame can accomodate up to 6'6-8". It has power, range and can go off-road. Compares favourably with the Super Delite. Really, if you aren't twenty anymore, well, what?

      Thank you. So far I love riding my Homage exploring where I live. I’m always amazed how I can go up so many hills with help from the bike that I wouldn’t be able to do with my non Ebike. You’ll love your Supercharger 2.

    Lovely video- this is the bike of my dreams, but out of league price-wise. Curious to know how you find the R&M front bag. Like you I have this on my bike (a Nevo 2) with Ortleib Back Rollers.
    I actually find the back rollers a lot easier to take on and off...

    • @WaltervanDusen
      @WaltervanDusen Před 2 lety

      Thank you for the comment. I keep my front bag on all of the time holding tools, batteries and my spare charger. I don’t keep the rear bags on but instead using a trunk or milk crate.

    how many of the gears on the Rohloff do you end up using? I have a enviolo CVT on my Gazelle and adjust it all the time as I am riding to get the right gear; like a volume dial.

    • @WaltervanDusen
      @WaltervanDusen Před 8 měsíci

      Once I get into low gear climbing up steep hills I don’t change the gear. I also have 85nm or torque from the Bosch system so I never had any problems climbing up hills.

    What do you do when the motor dies? Can you purchase a motor on its own and what do you do if they don't make that particular motor anymore? Is the bike basically scrapped?

    Had a roll of 75 cargo bike witch I chop in fo homage I waiting delivery the 75 took over six months to get to me may have been Covid. Anyhow I would like to know the comfort handle bars are and are you likening them ,by the way I’m getting a ls low speed cargo motor,why ? The reason is more grunt for towing my burley ocxc camping trailer single wheel for keeping the weight off the bike when off road fitted with go tires only regret was I did not order a seat drop post.

    How is the pedal cadence at 28mph with that Rohloff in top gear? Do you have to pedal really fast, or is it a fairly reasonable cadence?

    • @WaltervanDusen
      @WaltervanDusen Před rokem

      To get up to 28 mph with pedal assist I’m peddling pretty hard on E-14 gear. I’m working hard to gain that speed. Next time I ride my Homage I’ll try to remember to have the GoPro looking at the lcd.

    Can I ask what the make / type of the rear saddlebags is. I really would like separate rear bags for my Homage but can’t find any that fit their specialist rear rack type.

    • @SoundsandSightsVideos
      @SoundsandSightsVideos  Před 2 lety

      I haven’t drained the battery to zero percent but I did recently go around 35 miles on very hilly roads mostly in turbo and still had around 35 miles of range. Such as anything dealing with range, weight, ride mode, road conditions, etc always plays a factor. I personally feel very comfortable and confident if I only ride in Turbo I would get around 40 miles where I live which is very hilly.

    What does the riser seat do? I’ve never used one before and curious as to it’s purpose. Thanks

    • @WaltervanDusen
      @WaltervanDusen Před 2 lety +2

      It’s a dropper seat post. I corrected my verbiage in upcoming bike ride videos. By pushing on a lever mounted on my handle bars I’m able to “drop” the seat when approaching stops then pushing the lever again while rising up. This allows me to stay seated with my feet planted on the ground. Very useful for off reading but for me especially helpful for the many stops I have to do where I live.

    Nice bike, but what's that, sorry, poor frontlight?
    When you order it in the EU you have a epic frontlight with highbeam function, a Supernova M99 Mini Pro-45.
    The Highspeed version should have the best frontlight even more.

      Slowly but surely I am. Now it’s winter here in Lexington, MA with very icy roads so no riding at the moment.

      I was watching your MinuteMan Trail video. Prior to looking at your channel I was pricing the Riese and Muller bikes. Whew. Although I want a bike, I'm going to have to spring for something a bit cheaper. Still, your videos make the R & M bikes tempting...
