As a follow up post in case I can't find a supercharger Rholoff at an affordable price ..

What would be the most capable belt drive alternative??

I doubt you will find another ebike with Rohloff and a belt.

The Raleigh Centros has a Nexus hub gear and a belt, in decent trekking spec.

What do you mean by long distance?

The Centros has the benefit of the more economical Bosch motor, bur carrying a spare power tube battery would be marginally harder than carrying a standard down tube spare.

The Supercharger with a single battery would be a waste of space with a realistic range of 40/45miles.

My view is for distance you would need a twin battery or spare battery, whatever model you choose.

Thank you

50 miles ... & forget to mention want HS if at all possible..

Homage with sexing battery seems an alternative.. surprised no other bike manufacturers seems to be a contender
