Riese & Müller Homage5: Premium full-suspension step-through e-bike. German engineering, dual battery option, perfect for commuting & off-road adventures.
“Full-suspension and comfortable showstopper – that’s the Homage5. You don’t need to worry about anything as we have thought of everything at the development stage. The low-step-through bike comes with everything you need for carefree and safe riding.”
The Riese & Müller Homage5: Premium comfort meets everyday versatility
What it excels at
The Homage5 is the rare e-bike that genuinely bridges the gap between premium urban mobility and genuine off-road capability. It’s particularly well-suited for discerning riders who want a single bike for varied terrain – from daily commuting to weekend trail exploring – without compromising on comfort or build quality. The full-suspension design makes it exceptional for longer rides where comfort matters, whilst the low step-through frame ensures accessibility for riders of all abilities.
Key features that make the difference
The standout feature is Riese & Müller’s Control Technology: full suspension with Fox components, plus a co-sprung luggage carrier that keeps your load stable even over rough surfaces. This isn’t just marketing – it translates to genuine ride quality that remains composed whether you’re navigating city potholes or exploring bridleways.
The choice of drive systems sets it apart: either Bosch’s proven Performance Line CX or the innovative Pinion MGU that integrates motor and gearing into one maintenance-free unit. With options from Shimano derailleur through to Rohloff’s bombproof 14-speed electronic hub, there’s genuine flexibility to match your riding style. The 800Wh battery (with dual-battery option) delivers serious range, whilst smart connectivity keeps everything integrated.
Ownership experience
This is decidedly premium territory – expect German engineering precision with the complexity that entails. The flip side is exceptional build quality using sustainable materials (30% recycled aluminium) and components chosen for longevity rather than cost. Service support through Riese & Müller’s dealer network is comprehensive, though you’re investing in a specialist product rather than something any bike shop can easily service.
Who chooses the Homage5
Typically, it appeals to riders who’ve moved beyond entry-level e-bikes and want something genuinely capable across multiple scenarios. Often professionals seeking car replacement for longer commutes, or enthusiasts who appreciate engineering excellence and don’t mind paying for it. The step-through design also attracts riders prioritising accessibility without sacrificing performance – something rarely done this well at this level.
