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 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.

Professional Opinion

RIESE AND MULLER LOAD 60 VARIO DETAILS


» Back seat first – quickly putting the car in second place. «

 

Control Technology

Maintains a deep relationship with the road.

Only an E-Bike with true full suspension keeps ground contact on poor roads – and keeps you in full control. This ensures better road holding and safety at high speeds, with heavy loads and in tricky situations. Vibrations and hard knocks like those experienced on cobbles or kerbs are significantly diminished. Your luggage is also protected on the co-sprung cargo surface and the optional frame-mounted, sprung luggage carrier (fitted as standard on the HS models).

 

 

 

 

 

Safe child transport

Suitable for younger generations too.

The most valuable cargo anyone can carry is children. Their safety comes first. The two 5-point belts for two smaller children and a comfortable, cushioned seat position ensure relaxed riding through town and countryside. For all-round safety, this equipment variant is available only with side walls.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Flexible load transport

From warehouse to delivery.

Basically you can transport everything on the Load 60’s cargo surface, because any cargo can be strapped to the rails. The various side wall and cover options offer additional convenient solutions, while a permitted total weight of up to 200 kg gives you a lot of freedom. Whether you wish to carry luggage for a spontaneous camping weekend, tools, goods or sports equipment, you’ll quickly find the right solution among the different accessory options.

 

 

 

 

 

Adjustable seating position

The right size for everyone.

Thanks to the angle- and height-adjustable stem and the adjustable saddle height, the seat position can be altered to accommodate heights from 1.50 m to 1.95 m and adapted to preferences from sporty to comfortable. The overall geometry of the bike can be perfectly adjusted to the rider in just a few easy steps. This flexibility is unique among E-Cargo bikes and makes the Load ideal for shared use, for example within a family.

 

 

 

 

 

Bosch Cargo Line Cruise motor (4th generation)

The most power ever on an E-Cargo bike.

The latest and 4th generation of the Cargo Line Cruise motor is the most powerful E-Bike motor ever to have been produced by Bosch with programming optimised for E-Cargo bikes. It sets totally new benchmarks with up to 400% pedal assistance, a maximum torque of 75 Nm, powerful start-up characteristics and pedalling rate assistance of up to 120 rpm. It cannot fail to impress with its excellent dynamics, ultra-low pedal resistance, reduced weight and small dimensions, which provides for ultra-aesthetic and unobtrusive integration.

 

 

 

 

 

GX-Option

Equipment for every destination

If you like heading off on tours and also riding off-road, then simply equip your E-Bike with this first-class component combination: Schwalbe Smart Sam Plus All-Terrain tires with SnakeSkin side wall guarantee outstanding grip, especially when cornering, and extra-secure puncture resistance. The wide flat VP 538 pedals provide grip for your feet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bosch SmartphoneHub

Smartphone docking and additional display

The Bosch SmartphoneHub transforms your smartphone into a display and communication system, in which all functions are combined: intelligent navigation with live weather, fitness data and much more. It is convenient and reliable to operate using buttons on the handlebar or voice control. Your smartphone is automatically charged during your trip. But it also works without a mobile phone: in that case an integrated display shows key riding data.

 

 

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

 

 

Motors, batteries and displays – great performance from a single source.

Equipment

Transport: good(s)

To match your Load 60, the perfect accessories provide the ideal solution for your transport projects.

Low side walls

The low side walls, made of weather-resistant plastic, are recommended for transporting normal everyday things.

 

 

 

 

 

 

High side walls with hard cover or tarpaulin

High side walls can be used for securely transporting larger loads. The optional tarpaulin conceals your cargo and protects it from dirt and rain. The waterproof hard cover is securely bolted and lockable and keeps your cargo safe. The cover can be locked in the partially opened position and the storage space equipped with two comfortable, separate seats for optionally transporting children.

 

 

 

 

 

Transporting children

Two comfortable, height-adjustable child seats with adjustable sitting and sleeping positions and low or high side walls for safe travel. The seats can also be fitted individually and centrally. Optionally available with a cover, which features a practical partial opening function for transporting children protected yet pleasantly cool in summer.

Children and cargo

Fully equipped for the whole family and for transporting a host of objects of different sizes: take two children on separate seats and at the same time one piece of luggage on the practical storage rack. A spacious footwell for the children and a splash guard for your shoes are also included. When the child seats are dismantled, the cargo area provides plenty of storage space and the footwell can then be used as a glove box.

Cargo Accessories

Carbon belt drive

Anyone riding an E-Bike with the Gates CDX carbon belt drive is at peace. And in two ways: on the one hand the innovative drive offers a wonderfully smooth ride and great riding comfort. At the same time, it is unbelievably low-maintenance and performs its tasks with the utmost reliability.

 

 

 

 

 

Frame lock plus optional chain lock

The permanently fixed Abus Shield frame lock means that your E-Bike is secured in an instant. The optional 130 cm long chain is also latched into the Shield so you can quickly lock your bike to the nearest lamppost. Especially practical: the same key works for the frame lock and the battery lock.

 

 

 

 

 

Headlamp with permanent lighting

Depending on the model, Supernova’s or Busch & Müller’s LED headlamps provide consistently excellent road illumination whenever you go for a ride. They are supplied with power by the battery to guarantee full lighting power at all times. On the HS models, the brake light ensures that you ride even more safely.

 

 

 

 

 

Co-sprung luggage carrier

There’s always the carrier if the front storage space is not enough. It is ideal for attaching panniers, making it perfect for longer bike trips too. Since it is secured directly to the frame, it also benefits from the suspension thanks to Control Technology.

 

 

 

 

 

 


RIESE AND MULLER UPGRADES & OPTIONS

It provides information about battery status, range, daily mileage, total mileage, ride time, current motor power, time, speed and average speed – clearly legible in any level of sunlight. It is operated by a control unit conveniently mounted on the handlebar grip.

 

 

 

SmartphoneHub

The Bosch SmartphoneHub and free app turns your smartphone into a display which combines the functions smart navigation with live weather, fitness data and much more. Other services and apps on your smartphone, such as music playback, can be controlled at the same time. But it also works without a mobile phone: in this case, a display integrated into the cockpit shows key riding data.

 

 

 

BATTERY

SIDEWALLS & WEATHER PROTECTION

Without sidewalls / weather protection

Low sidewalls

High sidewalls with hard cover

The high side walls with a waterproof hard cover are ideal for protecting larger loads during transport. Lockable and firmly bolted in place, the cover reliably secures your transport goods. It can be locked in a partially opened position and two comfortable, separate seats can be fitted in the storage space for optionally transporting children.

 

 

 

Low side walls with child cover

Children can easily get to their seat with low side walls – and yet are still well protected on the road. The practical cover protects them from stones, dirt and rain and can be opened at the sides in summer for an optimum, cooling supply of fresh air.

 

 

 

 

High sidewalls with child cover

High side walls provide the best possible protection for your precious cargo. The practical cover protects them from stones, dirt and rain and can be opened at the sides in summer for an optimum, cooling supply of fresh air.

 

 

 

 

ACCESSORIES CARGO AREA

Equipment available only in conjunction with side walls.

 

 

EQUIPMENT OPTION

GX option

If you like riding your E-Bike off-road, then simply equip it with first-class All-Terrain tires. The SnakeSkin side wall of the Schwalbe Smart Sam Plus tires guarantees exceptional grip especially when cornering. A 3 mm protective cover around the inner tube provides extra-secure puncture resistance. The wide VP 538 flat pedals provide grip for your feet.

 

 

 

LOCK

Additional chain 130 cm for lock

The solid Abus chain lock, as well as the Abus Shield frame lock, secures your E-Bike twice over. The 130 cm long chain is latched onto the frame lock and the bike can be quickly attached to the nearest lamppost. The chain thickness of 6 mm ensures a high level of anti-theft protection. Especially practical: Frame lock, chain lock and battery lock all use the same key.

 

 

 

CARRIER

Carrier Load

If the front storage space is not enough, there is always the optional carrier. It is ideal for attaching panniers, making it perfect for longer bike trips too. Since it is secured directly to the frame, it also benefits from the suspension thanks to Control Technology. On the HS models, the carrier is fitted as standard.
