- Test Ride: Riese & Müller Load demo bikes are available for test rides in both our San Francisco and Marin County stores.
- Featuring the new 4th generation Bosch Cargo Line Cruise Motor or Cargo Line Speed Motor: These latest Bosch mid motors are designed specifically to meet the needs of cargo riders. They provide up to 75Nm of torque and multiply your pedaling effort up to 400%, while also being smaller, lighter and quieter.
- Carry Up To Two Kids: Designed to safely carry 1 or 2 kids up front on the 60cm long load platform. A rear cargo rack ensures you always have space for groceries, backpacks, boxes and more.
- Need to Carry More Kids? If you're looking to carry up to three youngsters check out the Load 75.
- Smartphone Docking System: The optional Bosch Smartphone Hub transforms your smartphone into a display & communication system for intelligent navigation, fitness data and more. Convenient and easy to operate via buttons on the handlebar or voice control, all while charging your phone while you ride.
- The Missing Link: Finally someone put together the three most exciting technologies in cycling: cargo capability; electric assist; and full suspension. X-Fusion rear suspension coil and front suspension fork cushions both the rider and the load for ultimate riding satisfaction.
- Designed For Riding: A low step-over top tube ensures the Load is easy to get on and off of, even when loaded. You'll be amazed at how easy, fun and useful the Load is to ride.
- Totally, 100%, Fully Loaded: Fully Load-ed with everything you need to ride, including integrated front and rear lights, a rear cargo rack (optional in some configurations), sturdy fenders and fantastic tires.
- Carry Kids or Cargo: Built for all of your hauling needs. Optional accessories include 2-kid seating with 5-point seat belts, or use the included Load platform for cargo.
- Optional Dual Battery For Incredible Range: Upgrade to the Bosch Dual Battery System for 1000 Wh of lithium-ion power, and the best possible range on any cargo bike. Long rides beckon!
- Super Duty Kickstand: A cargo bike is only as good as its kickstand. The Load's stand locks your bike in place for confident loading and unloading.
- Adjustable for performance and comfort: Stem height and angle can be changed on the fly without tools. An adjustable stem angle means all sizes of riders can customize the fit of the Load for a more confident, comfortable ride.
- 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.

Front-loaders come of age
Front-loaders are not new, but we've been waiting for the right one to come along. Low & behold, Riese & Müller offers up two amazing families of front-loaders–the full-suspension Load 60 and Load 75; and the Packsters, available in a narrow 40cm box configuration, as well as 60 and 80cm box sizes.
What makes the Load different?
You'll instantly recognize the Load by its unique full-suspension design. Using a sprung rear triangle, the Load suspends both the cargo and the rider to achieve both better comfort and better handling. As well, the Load can be configured with a Bosch Speed motor for assist up to 28 mph; at higher speeds full suspension will definitely be a big plus.
The Load is built for adventure–from the sturdy aluminum truss frame construction to the front and rear suspension, to the durable components. Don't be afraid to take it off the beaten path.
When compared with other front-loading cargo bikes, we think you'll agree that the Load offers a compelling combination of easy access, utility, comfort, performance, for ultimate riding satisfaction.
Performance-oriented design
The Load features an adjustable stem that allows for instant height and angle adjustments, no tools required. Riders of any size can fit this bike to their body not simply for comfort, but also for confident control. The adjustable stem is also a big plus when two riders of different physical size need to share the same bike.
Full suspension on the Load isn't (just) about bombing downhills–it's more about increasing control and comfort as you tackle all sorts of roads in the varied urban landscape.
What can the Load carry?
Front loaders are very common in northern Europe for kid carrying. Why? Because parents like to see their kids. And, front-loader 'bucket' bikes make it easy to enclose kids in a weather-proof canopy, available as an option with the Load.
The Load has plenty of options as to cargo box configuration, including a low sidewall bucket, a high sidewall bucket, hard top covers and a rear pannier rack (standard in some configurations) if you've got still more to carry.
Doing more by bike
If you're looking for an incredibly capable bike that doesn't sacrifice performance or comfort, and that can carry kids and cargo with ease, come try either version of the Load.
