    Schwalbe Super Moto X. Seemingly impossible to remove

    So I have attempted to use a 2x2 piece of wood and a mallet, unfortunately I do not have a vice in my house. I have also gone to my local bike shop. The mechanic wasnt in, but the guy at the front desk groaned as soon as he saw the make, so.... I think I may go tubeless after this. It might...

    Schwalbe Super Moto X. Seemingly impossible to remove

    I can attempt that, but although the tires are quite balloon like, I am not sure if I will have enough leverage to be able to stick a 2x2 in there. I will try and find something that could work. I did attempt to also stand on the tire, but I didn't put too much pressure on it, so as to not...

    Schwalbe Super Moto X. Seemingly impossible to remove

    I can't break the bead off the edge of the rim. A 2x2 and a mallet feels like I could damage the rim, even if being careful. Do you know somewhere I can see this in action, a video or something.

    E-bike disassembly for travel on European trains

    Thanks everyone for your insight, and advice. I took my bike apart as much as possible. I am leaving the back wheel on, detaching the handlebars, front wheel, saddle. It took about 40 mins to do, but it seems that it will work for me. FYI, I am travelling on the TGV Lyria, and I have a bike...

    E-bike disassembly for travel on European trains

    I can try to answer as much as possible. I have a R+M New Charger. The TGV train i am travelling on wants your bike to take up the following dimensions: treat it as carryon luggage. Fold or disassemble your bicycle*, pack it in a bike bag no larger than 120 cm high x 90 cm wide and be sure to...

    E-bike disassembly for travel on European trains

    I am starting and ending from Zurich. When I get to the end of Euro Velo 17, I would like to get back there without having to the do the round-trip as part of the holiday. Using the train allows us to go to Mulhouse and back to Zurich, and the only way to travel on that train is to disassemble.

    Ebike Security How Do you secure your bike?

    I have an Abus Granit for overnight, and a Bordo for out and about... To be fair, i don't really rely on locks as I have bike insurance so that in itself gives me peace of mind

    Hoi, new "New Charger" owner and new member

    Hey, I bought a R+M New Charger a couple of weeks ago, and I just found the forum too. I have loved the accessibility of the e-bike, as it has allowed me to experience my country of residence; Switzerland in new ways. I do have a question though, around the Bosch Nyon, I completed a 50 km/h...
