Who it is for

The Riese & Müller Multicharger2 Mixte GT Vario is for riders who want one high-quality bike for commuting, touring and daily errands, with the option of carrying a child. The step-through Mixte frame makes getting on easy even with a loaded rack. The extended rear rack takes 70 kg, enough for one child seat or large panniers, and the bike is rated for 180 kg in total.

Riding and everyday use

The Bosch Performance Line CX with 85 Nm gives strong support on hills, and the 750 Wh battery allows around 60 km with a load, much more when riding solo. The Enviolo stepless hub and Gates belt are quiet, clean and almost maintenance-free. GT equipment adds a suspension fork, and 27.5-inch wheels roll smoothly over rough city streets.

Before you buy

At 31 kg the bike is heavier than a normal e-bike but far lighter than a front-loader. It carries one child, not two; for two children look at a longtail or front-loader. The price is high, but R&M build quality and resale values are among the best in the market.
