- Need to Carry More Kids? If you're looking to carry up to three youngsters check out the Load 75.

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.

- 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.

Our Take

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.
