Coming soon – the Riese & Müller Multicharger4

Frames and sizes

Two frame sizes – S/M and L/XL – both with a lowered top tube as standard, which makes getting the right fit (and getting on with a loaded bike) much easier. Colours are lava, magnesium, tierra and tundra grey.

Six builds

• FAMILY – Shimano Nexus 5-speed hub gear – the more affordable, family-ready entry point
• touring – Shimano Cues Linkglide 10-speed derailleur – light and versatile
• vario – Enviolo Utility stepless hub gear – smooth and low-maintenance
• automatic – Enviolo with automatic shifting – no gears to think about
• vario HS and rohloff HS – 45km/h speed pedelecs, which in the UK are classed as mopeds and need registration and insurance, so do talk to us before setting your heart on one

Motors are Bosch Performance Line PX, CX or Cargo Line depending on the build, with Speed versions for the HS models.

Batteries

A Bosch PowerTube 800Wh is standard, with the option of a second 800Wh PowerPack for 1,600Wh in total – genuinely useful on a bike that may be doing loaded miles every day.

Equipment

Five equipment kits – Passenger, Cargo, Cargo Plus, Family and Family Plus – cover everything from cargo bags and a sideloader to child seats and weather covers. The redesigned safety bar opens downward and doubles as a step, so children can climb aboard themselves. There’s also an adjustable stem with an SP Connect+ smartphone interface, the MIK HD carrier system, a new bipod stand and a reflective weather cover.
