The quick read

Is it for you?

Best suited to

The rider who wants a light, minimal German city bike rather than a loaded touring machine.

Standout strength

At 21.3kg it is by far the lightest bike Riese and Mueller sell, and the cheapest way into the brand.

The main compromise

A 400Wh battery is small, so the range extender becomes a real consideration.
