Overview

Riese & Muller Load4 60 Touring (2025) at a glance

The Riese & Muller Load4 60 Touring is a cargo e-bike that is no longer sold in Australia. It pairs a Bosch mid drive motor with 85Nm of torque, a 725Wh battery, front 20" / rear 26" wheels, and weighs 35.5kg. It is listed as a 250W pedal-assist e-bike limited to 25 km/h for Australian roads.

The quick read

Is it for you?

We have not ridden this bike. This read is based on the spec sheet and Australian seller information, not a test ride.

Best suited to

Families or tradies who need a proper front loading cargo bike and are happy to order one in rather than ride one off a showroom floor today.

Standout strength

35.5kg base weight is light for a long john cargo bike, and the 200kg gross vehicle rating covers two kids plus a full shop.

The main compromise

No AU retailer had one in stock at time of research. It is a built to order proposition through R&M's own configurator, budget for lead time.

Australian compliance

claimed by brand

Pedal-assist, rated to 250W, assist cuts at 25 km/h. Declared by the brand; declaration not independently sighted.

250 WRated motor
25 km/hAssist cutoff
NoThrottle

The Load4 60's own AU page lists the motor only as 'Bosch Cargo Line (smart system)' without a plain-text wattage or km/h figure. That exact motor name is confirmed elsewhere at 250W nominal and 25 km/h AU cutoff on sister models using the identical Bosch Cargo Line unit (Packster2 70 via Dutch Cargo Bike's spec sheet, Load5 75 via Electric Bikes Brisbane's listing). No throttle listed in any component/accessory list. Reviewer should independently confirm the 250W figure applies unchanged to Load4 60 before publishing if in doubt.
