- Are you ready to get your order started? Our trained technicians will build your Riese & Müller Charger3 to your unique specifications, including size, color, components and accessories. Click on the button below to indicate your interests, and we'll follow up with you shortly to firm up all the details.
Start Your Build
- 4th Generation Bosch - Lighter Weight & More Powerful: With up to 75 Nm of torque on the 4th Gen CX Drive motor, yet 25% lighter than the previous generation motor, the Charger3 offers the best of both worlds.
- PowerTube Battery Hides In Plain Sight: The PowerTube battery hides within the downtube, yet is easy to remove for charging. In frame batteries improve handling by keeping weight low and centered.
- Front and Rear Racks Available: A rear cargo rack comes standard with all Charger3 models. Upgrade to a front tray rack for additional carrying capacity.
- Lower Step "Mixte" Model Available: For easy step over, choose the Charger3 Mixte.
- The Low-Maintenance Setup: If you're looking for ease of use and low maintenance, and you don't have the steepest hills to climb regularly, you should consider the Charger3 GT Vario with the step-less Enviolo shifting system and a Gates carbon belt drive.
- The Crisp Shifting Performance Setup: If you like traditional mountain bike shifting systems - think chain and derailleur - you should test ride the Charger3 GT Touring model with an 11-speed Shimano XT transmission.
- SmartphoneHub Available: Transform your smartphone into a display and communication system which combines intelligent navigation, fitness data and much more. Happen to forget your phone? Not to worry, an integrated display shows key riding data.
- The Do Anything, Go Anywhere Setup: If this bike is going to become your weekly commuter and weekend adventurer, consider the Charger3 GT Rohloff transmission option with an electronically shifting E-14 Rohloff hub transmission with the widest gear range for even the steepest hills.
- Four Frame Sizes Fit a Range of Riders: Our staff can help you determine the perfect size frame for you. Frame size options include 46cm, 49cm, 53cm and 56cm seat tube lengths, ideal for riders 5'2" - 6'4".
- A Warranty You Can Trust: Riese & Müller's warranty is backed by The New Wheel True Warranty™ and upheld by our professional service department. Includes 5-year frame coverage, 2 years for electronics, and 2 years for all other components (some exceptions apply).

Our Take
Each Riese & Müller bike is assembled in their factory in Mühltal, Germany.
When you place your order with us, you can customize virtually everything about your bike, including color, drivetrain, motor, battery capacity and more. Each Riese & Müller model has a range of accessory options to help you further dial in your ride.
The All Arounder, Defined
The Charger3 fits in a category we call the 'all arounder' which means it's a terrific do-anything bike. It's a capable commuter, a sturdy rough-road adventurer, even a weekend camper.
Fully 'Charged'
The Charger3 comes fully loaded with everything you need to ride, including a shock-absorbing seatpost, integrated front and rear lights, sturdy metal fenders, a kickstand plus fantastic tires.
Who is the Charger3 Ideal For?
Truth is, we are hard pressed to find a use case that the Charger3 can't handle. That said, if you need a bike with a deep step through for easy getting on/off, check out the Nevo. If you need to carry one or more kids, the Packster or Load will better serve you. And if you want full suspension, go for the Delite or Superdelite.
If none of these requirements match your needs, the Charger3 might just be the perfect ebike for you.
