Additional information on pedaling pauses during gear changes: The internal connection between the Rohloff E-14 and the Bosch motor of the new Generation 4 no longer require pedaling pauses under load. The Bosch motor regulates this completely independently and takes for the mini-second the pressure from the drive belt. The driver no longer has to pay attention to it himself.

Nice video Chris, I drive for 10 years an E bike with Rohloff and since last year a R&M with E14 and have over 10000 km with the new bike. Clean thing, no chain maintenance with oil because belt drive. Only every 5000km an oil change. I am still thrilled. Greetings from Germany

@Click Bait In the city, there is probably no problem. In hilly terrain, the Rohloff comes into play and shows its advantages. I can master almost any slope without dismounting. I remain, the Rohloff is for me even after 10 years of experience the optimum of the gears. Especially because at a standstill can be switched. Greetings from Germany.

@Click Bait True. The Rohloff was designed in Switzerland, so having a lot of gears would be helpful there. They might think it's nuts to use one in a place with no mountains, but if you want to buy one, they won't stop you...

Sounds great! Can you do the oil service on Rohloff IGH yourself? I have this item on my wish list for my own custom e-bike build. But was not experienced and sure enough I'd be compatible and lasts my mid drive BBHS 1500W ~165nm engine power over time. So now running a 8 speed Shimano IGH as a try-out for daily commuting. Personally I prefer mechanical shifting cable(s) over electronic, since I'd like also to ride without battery.

@@zachm.3049 yup, you can buy a Rohloff oil change kit which supplies all the items you need (including the syringe for the oil, but maybe not a hex key to open the hub). I have an R&M Load 60 with Rohloff which I received this year and will be doing my oil change next year with this kit. They suggest to do it once a year. That’s about the only maintenance (as there is no need to oil, clean a chain) along with tire pressure.

At thee moment I’m on a 4400 mile circumnavigation of the coast of the UK. I’m riding a Reise & Muller Load 75 with Rohloff E14. It’s smooth and does the job nicely. The gear range is great, tackling any hill I have thrown at it. Great video Chris.

Max nailed it in his comment below. This may be the best and most informative video I have ever seen. All important info, no fluff. I have ordered the Riese and Muller Superdelite Mountain with this hub.

Hi Chris, I recently watched your video with the Mayor of Emeryville, CA. Very nice I can’t wait to ride their trails! I’m also a disabled vet and 83 years old living in Livermore, CA and I ride an adult e-trike as my balance is not so good any longer. I would appreciate you doing a video on adult tricycles for seniors. I’ll look forward to this. Keep up the d good work you do! 🚴🇺🇸👍

I'm buying a R&M bike this summer. This video has really helped me justify spending such a lot of money to opt for the Rohloff gears! Very well explained, thank you.

I had considered the Rohloff & Enviolo when looking for my Internal Geared Hub & there were a few factors which made my choice the Alfine 11. This was 6 years ago now & still very happy with my choice. Here's what I didn't like about the Rohloff & Enviolo - With the Rohloff it was the cost. In Canada they end up being a little under $2000. by the time you are on the road. As a comparison my Alfine 11 was $700. ready to ride. My rationale was if the Alfine fails after a few years I can either replace the inner assembly for $400. or buy the latest version of the hub & still be hundreds of $ ahead. I also didn't like the dual gear cables & twist grip shifters on both hubs. With the Alfine I had a choice but the paddle shifter has been faultless. With the Enviolo it was the weight of the hub & the feeling like it was rubber banding. The last consideration was the gear range. With the Rohloff you are able to achieve a lower gear inch which is better suited to climbing or carrying heavy loads but with the Alfine hub I was able to gear it almost as low while achieving a better high gear. This suited my riding better as I wasn't going offroad or carrying very heavy loads. Rohloff also has this policy of limiting their warranty coverage if you go outside of their recommended ratios & for $2000. this did not inspire much confidence in buying their hub.

Great video. I am very impressed by that Rohloff. And the motor integration. Uses the Bosch display to indicate what gear it is in. That is fantastic.

I have an 18 speed Pinion fitted to my Scorpion fs 26. I've had it for 5 years now and covered just over 3,000 miles without a single fault. I don't think it is as efficient as the Rohloff, but it's still an excellent piece of kit. Well pleased. Enjoyable and informative video. Voted & Sub'd.

Great video. I converted my Orbea Wild FS to run a Rohloff with E-14. So much nice than external gears.

Another company using the Rohloff Speedhub is Bakcou in Ogden Utah. Top of the line bike company specializing in off-road hunting bicycles. Using the Rohloff Speedhubs in their highest end models: Jager & MAV3. Made to go up the steepest hills and carry elk/deer on bike trailers out of the back country on bike trailers after the hunt. Outstanding company excellent service.

I have an Australian touring bike called a Vivente Gibb. Amazing bike with a Rohloff hub and gates drive that has been developed over thirty plus years. Set up to travel the world and well worth considering. Non electric

Hi Chris. Thank's for the video. I use a Riese and Muller Supercharger 2 equipped with the Rohloff Sppedhub E-14. I use the bike everyday for home-work comuting (starting on january 2020, now almost 4000 kms). This internal gear hub is a must have. To give a complete description maybe a drawback is the oil leak wich seems to be "normal" but is very surprising the first time. It can be several dots that make the ground really dirty. There are many posts on the web that explain that this is something usual. Changing the oil is really easy. No need to visit the dealer shop for that. Regards

"the oil leak wich seems to be "normal" "... Hum.. No, it's not. I have two bikes with Rohloff (and one with Alfine); an oil leak is not normal with a speedhub. You better check this with the seller, since your bike is still under warranty.

One great advantage of speedhubs over derailleurs is that there is nothing hanging on right side of rear axle; a derailleur can be spoiled in different situations (of course, possibilty to use belt instead chain, and possibility to change gear without moving, are the two main advantages, in my point of view). Two main advantages of Rohloff over other speedhubs are the range, with not too wide gap between gears, and that the rear wheel can easily be removed (no weird cable attachement with the Rohloff, even with the standard one)... The "less friction" aspect is real compared to Envolio, but not so sensible compared to some other speedhub (in my case: Alfine). Changing oil is very simple and not expensive (I am buying kits on German eshops). Changing old version pinion was not very difficult (for Rohloff using chain) and pinions can be used on both sides; with new pinion system, it is easier (no screw to untight with specific tool). But I don't find that the two buttons shifter is very pleasant to use: the triangle shaped buttons do not work well when you push off center, so the sweetspot is quite small. The whole "two buttons" shifter is not very comfortable whatever rotation adjustment, because the whole thing is rather small and smooth. They should have made something more like a trigger that you can push up or down, without having to check your fingers, then the display, to know whether you have switch gear. It's not a "no go" at all (current switcher is fully usable), but a direction for improvement.

Another great informative video..... much thanks 👍👏😃🇨🇦

I could not have said that better, excellent job, thank you

I wouldn't trade my Rohloff for anything. I bought the manual version for my Riese-Mueller Delite back in 2016.

I like your blog and typically catch your KZread videos a couple of times each week. One thing I miss and don't see very often are e-trikes. I used ride my old bicycle, unfortunately do to increasingly getting older and mobility problems, I just can't do rides like I used to.

Excellent video! I would love to see a Bafang/E-14 combination in the future. *

Interesting video, thanks for that. Just to be clear (confirmed by Enviolo and Rohloff): - the Enviolo hub is limited to 100Nm at the Bottom Bracket (putting more torque leads/can lead to the internal balls to go flattish and destroying the hub) - the Rohloff limited at 130Nm at the input level ("the input torque we refer to is measured at the SPEEDHUB input sprocket" says Rohloff customer service ). This means that if you have a 18 teeth sprocket at the rear and 36 teeth at the front, the Rohloff can stand 260Nm at the bottom bracket. HOWEVER, Rohloff specified that these 130Nm at the input level, includes the torque of the motor AND the torque of the cyclist. Still, this is an insanely higher level of torque than the Enviolo can cope with. Also, as Rohloff says "The sudden application of torque from high power motors may lead to internal component damage if the curve hasn't been programmed with transmission component longevity in mind", so should you install a 160Nm Bafang motor like I did, better not start with Pedal assist on full blast, but start low and progressively increase PAS level as the speed builds up.

Hey Patrick , how did your rohloff work out with the 160nm torque. I’m looking at doing the same . Revollute hub1 6 speed , 250nm torque capability , coming out soon and HB hightec , 9 speed , 250nm as well

@patrickboyle5269

Жыл бұрын

@@danieloconnor373 Hi Daniel, have done c. 1,500Km on it and it is working like a charm ;o) Maybe I am overly cautious with it as the Enviolo did not last long, so everytime I change gear when in full power, I make sure to reduce the pedal assist 3-4 levels (down to middle power), then change gear, then start pedalling and increase back to full power. I have a ratio of 3:1 front to rear and live in a hilly city, but must say this ratio is perfect, cycling easily at 45km/h on flat at a 50-60 per second cadence. So although Rholoff are expensive and they look like they were created in the 17th century, they are 10x more worth buying than the Enviolo (to me)

Thanks Chris, very informative. Would like to upgrade my bike with one of these a hubs. The Rolloff is the best.

Great explanations of the two main choices

I've owned two Rohloffs and sold them both. (I wasn't sure enough of my experiences from the first one -- thought maybe I'd gotten a "dud", but the second one was the same.) They are intriguing from an engineering perspective, really cool -- also have a fantastic track record from a reliability perspective. I really, really, really wanted to like them but found that there is mechanical resistance in them that just doesn't exist with plain old derailleurs. To say nothing of the weight and expense...!

Great videos appreciate your work sir going to New York on vacation this summer I am going to stop at your store maybe I'll get lucky and I'll get to meet you

Very good video. Just some opinions: Weight, efficiency and gear range are not really a factor for E-Bikes. An E-Bike is already really heavy, efficiency is secondary because the motor will compensate for it and the motor will also compensate for missing gear range. Sure you will use up more battery but most people will rarely use up all the energy within one day. You can even shift a gearbox without slowing down your cadence. You can shift while peddling but not under full load. So when you just reduce the power a bit and put a little bit of pressure on the shifter it will not shift while there is pressure on the pedals but when you reach the dead point it will shift instantly. This way you need way less coordinations.

GSD R14 in UK, 400 miles and really enjoying it. Would like a more positive feel for the centre of the push gear change buttons - especially with gloves on. R14 is a heavy bike but it's a joy to ride with no assistance - no drag from the Rohloff or the belt drive or the Bosch Gen 4. (Bosch Gen3 was a DRAG)

I have an Opti Bike out of Boulder that has a Rohloff bike and it is awesome, as a long-time rider it is a little tuff getting used to not pedaling while you shift.

Great video thank you!

The Rohloff is great, it is such a perfect bonding element between man and machine. in any situation i feel like to ride with the perfect cadence. 80 seems to be the sweet spot for me and the Bosch Performance Speed Gen 2 motor. Chris your videos are perfect to learn about ebikes. If I could ask for a topic it would be ebikes as a business. How many bikes worldwide per year, rate of growth, who are the biggest manufacturers, suppliers. Whats their revenue and outlook. E.g. Bosch does not report their ebike revenues. My guestimation would be they passed 1bn€ per year with growth rate of over 30% anually...

I give it 5 years and we'll have e bikes and rohloff with enough range to tackle a world tour. Can't wait!

That's excellent as a mountain biker the rohloff looks like a really good way forward

Ö find ich blod. That was a funny one on of their machines. Again an awesome video! If you wanna ride a lot of miles on your bike, then internal gearing and belt drive is the best choice. Just consider how much a decent external drive costs. External is only cheaper in the beginning. Pinion, belt drive and hub motor is also great combination.

I want to swap out the pedal assembly on my old Mobiky Jenius 12 inch for an e-bike system . I watched your video about the gearbox and I think I need to put that too :))

Very well presented, good level.of information too. I have a Rohloff on my Velotechnik trike, a better setup than the derailleur for our muddy lanes, thank you

I am so glad someone else did the math needed to figure out how to put those gears together. XD

What a helpful video Chris. Thanks for that! I am currently in the process of configuring a Multicharger HS to replace my car (most of the time). It's pretty hilly here, so the Enviolo is no option for me. What would be your pick between the Shimano XT 11-speed system and the Rohloff? What would you say needs to be my annual milage for the Rohloff to be the obvious choice (from a price perspective)? Keep it up!

Typically great a video from you sir. I just bought a specialized Vado 5.0 igh with the nvolo hub and automatic.. Not sure I can ever go back to a derailleur or a twist shifter for that matter. Just need to higher gear the Vado to increase its top speed since it only has 380° in the hub. No doubt I will own a rolhoff before I die. I like the looks of some of those sportier reice and Mueller bikes in the video Thanks.

I am a Rohloff user. I own two trikes, ICE Sprint RS 20" and Azub Ti-Fly 20" both with Rohloffs. I love the idea of belt drives. There are some issues with belt drives but one that I was told about was that one couldn't bend a belt backwards. One of the things I see here in your video is the bent backwards. Are these belts new tech that wasn't available previously? I do realise that there are issues of triangular frames that need to separate to accommodate a belt. I am a Rohloff fan boy. Oh and by the way that is one sweet looking electric bike.

I still have a good old Vittoria with a NuVinci hub (Enviolo). Needs resetting once in a while, but is very comfortable for a city bike, very happy with it.

Hi, I really love your video they are very well done. I don't know if you made a video on this. I have a 2019 R&M Delite with Roholff E-14. Until now I keep changing the level of assistance depending on the slope. I was wondering if I should just pick a level of assistance for a ride. If so, would I drain my battery faster?

great video! i was thinking about the cost of the rohloff an dthe price of changing casette and chains

I am currently on a Specialized Vado 5.0 igh that uses the larger of the two Eviolo hubs which I believe is 380 percent range. I did have some issues with keeping the cadence slow enough at high speeds but going to a 2 tooth smaller hub gear pretty much solved the problem. The Vado 5.0 has that auto shifting box which is just so great as I am not sure I would ever want any kind of twist shifter especially on such a high priced bike. I see on the R & M that there are also manual override buttons which is kind of like paddle shifters in cars. Wow I will really have to try one of these and likely get one since it also has that rear suspension that I am missing from my mt bike. Thanks much.

Superb video.

very informative! 🚴 🔌☺️

can the bike still function if the Rohloff E14 hub with electronic shifter fails? And how reliable is the electronic shifter?

Thank you so much. Was hoping for a deep dive on the E-14. Whats your experience in terms of reliability so far (not the hub itself but rather the E-14 setup)? And is there any way so manually shift gears if it stops working in the middle of nowhere?

It looks like once you remove the shifter box, you could shift manually with the right sized hex wrench, assuming it is the same as the cable version.

Hey Chris-another great video! Question for you...I'm riding a Gazelle with the Bosch speed motor and I saw that they are offering Enviolo, but I'm not seeing Rohloff. I like Riese & Mueller but they are too expensive for my riding style. Thoughts? Thanks, as always 🙂

Every time I tried the Rohloff hub on an ebike my issue was that it was so slow to change gears. The steps between the gears are too small for an ebike, and I had to switch 3-4 gears each time. A lot of button presses all the time on the flimsy small buttons. For mechanical bikes, I love the Rohloff, it is fantastic, and the small difference between gears helps fine tune my cadence.

Looking at the updated CHENOA MAX, ROHLOFF E14. I'm looking for direct drive, internal gearing and front / rear suspension.

The pinion systems are more suited for mountain bikes because you don't have to stop pedaling while shifting and the weight is centered and low.

Excellent video and explantion. It seems like the Rohloff or Enviolo hubs would be ideal for my Santa Cruz V10 ebike conversion project. I'm running into challenges with the 83mm bottom bracket width and the 157mm rear hub spacing. This makes for a challenge to maintain a proper chainline. However, the internal geared hubs are not only super expensive but heavy. The motor and battery is already heavy but add a geared hub and now where pushing 60lbs. Not really an issue for pedaling but for transportation when you need to take it on a plane even without the battery. Anyone out there use a geared hub on an 83mm mountain bike?

can this be retro fitted to my Focus Jam2? also where is the Revonte One in its development to market?

I’m looking at an ICE Adventure recumbent. For this application, would you personally go for the Rohloff or the Enviolo. I will have the Steps electric assist. Thank you

Can I retro fit this to old Kona hardtail with a bafung 750w 52v motor mid drive?if so, I want!

I’m looking for a touring Rohlof 14 with a Bosch eBike Can you recommend any for consideration?

Any chance you could make a video comparing how loud this bike is to other ebikes or just normal bikes? i've heard the R e-14 is loud, and ive also heard the bosch motor is a bit loud too. I have a rad rover from rad power bikes and it's pretty quiet at low to mid speeds, assuming im pedaling ofcourse. I'm really interested in this bike, but the uncertainty of sound has me holding back.
