Little power packages for big ambitions.

Whether you use one or two batteries on your E-Bike significantly influences your range and achievable climb in altitude. There are also many other decisive factors, such as the set pedal assistance, riding speed or outside temperature. When it’s stop-and-go in the city, the range is shorter than with a constant journey over a longer distance – comparable with the fuel consumption of a car. If you find while you’re on a ride that your battery’s residual power is not going to be enough to complete your journey, you can reduce the level of assistance and thus still reach your destination comfortably.

Recharge, ride, rejoice. Again and again.

The batteries are charged directly on the E-Bike or, once removed, at any standard 110/220 V wall socket. There is no need to run the battery all the way down, because it can be charged in its partially charged state without any “memory effect”. The lifespan is 800 – 1,000 charging cycles. Thanks to the short charging times, the battery can be topped up well even during a lunch break, for example. A complete charge cycle with the included Bosch standard charger takes just 4.5 hours. With DualBattery Technology, both batteries can be charged individually with the charger or at the same time directly on the E-Bike.

Always in top form.

At Riese & Müller, we look for a perfectly suited battery, in function and form, for every E-Bike we develop. For this purpose, we install one of three powerful Bosch batteries depending on the model: the frame battery, the carrier battery or the ultra-modern PowerTube battery.

The carrier battery is used in the Swing and Culture series. Thanks to the battery lock, it remains securely on the E-Bike. To charge the battery, open the lock with your key and simply pull the battery out towards the rear.

The frame battery is normally attached to the down tube and can also be removed with the fitting key in one step. With DualBattery Technology, it is used as a second battery located on the top tube or cargo surface. More information can be found on the DualBattery page.

The PowerTube is the latest Bosch battery. Its complete integration into the frame makes it virtually invisible. Of course, this battery can only be removed with the appropriate key, and it pops a few centimetres out of the frame when it is opened for easy removal. The PowerTube is used in the Culture GT, Homage, Nevo GT, Charger and Charger Mixte as well as the Supercharger and Multicharger. For the DualBattery option, the Supercharger integrates two PowerTube batteries, while the Homage, Nevo GT, Charger, Charger Mixte and Multicharger use a combination of PowerTube and frame battery.
