Our Take
All Riese & Muller bikes are assembled in their factory in Weiterstadt Germany. This means you can customize virtually everything about the bike, including color, drivetrain, motor and battery capacity.
We love practical bikes that are well-built for city living.
The new Roadster is just such a bike. No whiz bang features, but plenty of great design, practical accessories - especially for carrying cargo - and just the right mix of comfort and sporty geometry to make for a perfect city bike.
But city bikes should never be merely about utility: the Roadster sets the standard with a fun, responsive ride, that is lightweight enough to take it up stairs or on to transit.
Optional upgrades
Like all Riese & Müllers, the Roadster offers a choice of motors.
Choose between the highest-torque Bosch CX Drive or the Bosch Performance Speed Drive which will assist you up to 28 mph.
Classic lines for newer times
The Roadster is classic, simple and understated. Minimal branding, great colors and a glossy finish delightful blend form and function.
Who is the Roadster for?
If you're looking for a bike built for the urban environment, ready to be carried up or down stairs and taken on transit, with plenty of range, you will love this bike.
Seeking more range? The Roadster is only available in a single battery version. If you desire more range, consider the dual-battery Riese & Müller Charger.
