Just saw this.
Lovely thing, but that second R&M was a fucking ballache to work on. The owner didn't service it for ages and literally everything was falling apart. Forks couldn't be serviced. Shock just needed a rebuild. Front wheel had 4 broken spokes, so needed new ones cutting. Motor took physical knocks (no idea how) and had to really convince Busch and Muller to take it in. Customer spliced another light to the existing rear one and it started shorting out the whole system.
The NuVinci was all out of whack and the guy was insistent it wasn't an issue.
Worst of it though was a constant knock when power was put down. Owner was adamant it was the motor. It wasn't. It was the steering linkage with a knuckle joint hanging on by a hair.
No idea why he owned something so complex and expensive but never had it checked or maintained.
