Pre-Order

With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.

Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!

Pre-Launch

With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.

So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.

Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates

Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates are given on Pre-Order and Pre-Launch products. They are for indication purposes only and can change at any time without notice.

The dates we provide are based on indications given by our suppliers. Whenever we get updated information from our suppliers we will endeavour to update the Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates provided on product pages.

We estimate this will be ready for despatch to you or collection via Click & Collect on Undetermined

RIESE & MULLER Charger GH VARIO

Whether city road or dirt track, with the Bosch Performance CX motor and the wide Schwalbe Super Moto-X tires, you'll be gliding over any uneven terrain. What's more, the continuous Enviolo hub gear and the Gates belt drive make the Charger GH vario incredibly comfortable. Hydraulic Magura MT4 disc brakes impress with their braking performance. The components of the GH model are significantly more stable and designed for a permitted overall weight of 160 kg. An E-Bike for every situation and every rider.


The Charger

For the daily commute. For the weekend. For the eyes.

The Charger wants to get out. Climb mountains with ease, compete with the wind, turn your daily commute into an adventure. And it wants to be seen. The integrated Bosch PowerTube battery allows the Charger's familiar, original design to come into its own – you can expect to see your colleagues watching you longingly from their cars. The Charger brings so much fun to everyday life that you'll be itching to throw in an extra trip at the weekend. The Charger, with its versatile configuration and high-quality components, is of course perfectly equipped for that, too.

TO THE MODEL SELECTION

Drive

The Bosch system

Reliable, performance-oriented and innovative – these are the standards to which we hold our E-Bikes, as well as all components and especially the drive system. That’s why all Riese & Müller E-Bikes are equipped with the industry-leading Bosch drive system.

Integrated battery

Power from within.

The concentrated power of the 500 Wh battery is so perfectly integrated that it is easy to miss at first glance. You either charge it directly on the bike or remove the battery by lifting out and down. The integration into the frame protects the battery from moisture and stone chips while riding.

 

 

 

 

 

 

DualBattery

Because not every adventure starts at your doorstep.

The DualBattery Technology perfected by Riese & Müller ensures twice the range or far higher climbs, fewer charging breaks and longer-lasting riding pleasure.  The batteries are so cleverly positioned that the extra weight has no noticeable impact on riding behaviour – and yet both are easy to remove. With the 1,000 Wh now available, completely new destinations can be reached and you no longer have to worry about your range in your daily routine.

 

 

 

Frame design

Delights the legs, pleases the eye.

This frame has it all, from its highly functional design featuring characteristic contours to its remarkable engineering prowess, all its cables and – the battery. Easily overlooked at first glance, it blends perfectly into the overall image. The colour concept emphasises the E-Bike’s sportiness with sharp dividing lines.

The superbly finished frame thus comes into its own and all key technical components have optimum protection.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Suspension fork and suspension seatpost

Turns gravel tracks into freshly paved roads.

Uneven trails can be encountered anywhere, even in the city: cobblestones, gravel paths, small potholes or cracks in the concrete can tarnish your riding pleasure. The suspension seatpost and sensitive suspension fork offer so much comfort that you'll barely feel any bumps. If your preferred variant does not come with this we can fit one for you.

 

 

 

COBI.bike sport Display

An E-Bike has never been so smart.

The Cobi sport Display brings all the power of your smartphone onto your E-Bike: from sophisticated bicycle navigation to your favourite tunes. From making phone calls to keeping track of calories burned. From live weather updates to alarm systems. The free Cobi app turns your smartphone into an intelligent on-board computer. Attached directly to the handlebars and easily and safely controlled via the Bosch control unit on the grip. And if you forget your smartphone? Of course you can still ride your bike, just without a cockpit display.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The perfect E-Bike for every day. Quality engineering. Extremely reliable. Makes every ride an experience, whether commuting or touring.

Frame colour

Going for gold with every colour.

We could start talking about Goethe's colour theory at this point. Or provide a colour guide like a fashion magazine. But basically only one thing matters: the most beautiful colour is the one that you like the most.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Frame height

Every centimetre makes a difference, mile for mile.

A size chart can never replace a test ride. We want the frame height to fit your physical dimensions perfectly. And the only way to achieve this is for you to take a test ride. Our experts, with their trained eye and appropriate measurements, will help you find the perfect height. You will find the approximate dimensions here in the selection.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Display

Keeping track. On every track.

An E-Bike's control centre is the display. The level of pedal assistance can be adjusted, the pushing aid can be switched on and off and the menu can be operated on the bike's control unit. Vital information is provided by the Intuvia display, fitted as standard. The compatible docking station makes it possible to upgrade the display at any time.Sporty riders will find all the information they need in a compact space on the ultra-modern Kiox display. If you're always wanting to be online even on your E-Bike, the COBI.Bike sport fulfils all your desires. It turns your own smartphone into a control centre. Not only can it control all E-Bike functions, the intelligent software also offers perfect navigation, telephone functions, interactive cycling weather updates and much more. (Only available in Europe. Smartphone not included.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Battery

Freedom to go.

Dependable assistance on the bike is the key to new destinations, extended tours and relaxed mountain rides. That's why we only use state-of-the-art Bosch lithium-ion batteries with a capacity of 500 Wh. The DualBattery option with a total of 1,000 Wh of power offers maximum range and comfort for those wanting to reach distant destinations or recharge even less frequently. Which is a massive plus for commuters and on long tours. For the DualBattery version, a 500 Wh frame battery is mounted on the outside of the down tube.
