Riese & Müller Charger4: Extends riding pleasure
Vložit
- čas přidán 6. 07. 2024
- A reliable commuting machine and a sporty adventurer at the weekend. The Charger4 does both. The fully integrated 750 Wh battery in conjunction with the powerful Performance Line CX motor provides even more range and power. The integrated cockpit with Kiox 300 display and the innovative LED Remote also guarantee easy and fast operation and provide a comprehensive overview of all riding data.

It is wonderful to see that the smallest frame size will be available. Great work!
Yes it is :) Thanks Davey.
Ce vélo correspond enfin à mes attentes et il est super au niveau design, Bravo .
I hope a 750wh version of the Delite Mountain Rohloff comes out soon. I’ll be ordering one straight away.
Personally I would ditch the derailleur version across the whole lineup because in my view it doesn’t fit the Riese & Muller ideology of durability, low maintenance and sustainability. But otherwise it looks great.
Fully agree.
Agree.
Still using my Charger from 2019 as a travel bike in combination with a solar panel, just got back from a 1.800 Km trip through Germany, Austria, France, Belgium and the Netherlands without using power from the grid. Watch my videos about my trips on my channel!
Your new model does indeed have some nice and improved features. Unfortunately, only one battery, not two, and the CX motor, not the speed motor.
Lovely bike! You talk about the option to have the comfort handlebars, I cannot see this option on your site. Did I miss anything?
Also, how much is it possible to adjust the stem?
Hello Johan and thank you for your message. The Comfort Kit is currently not selectable due to lack of availability. Once we have it back in stock, the handlebar mentioned in the video will also be an option for the Charger4.
The joint of the stem offers no limitation, depending on body size and desired seating position, the stem can thus be adjusted individually for you as far as the view of the display is not restricted.
Many greetings
Your Riese & Müller Team
Looks beautiful! When can we expect a high speed version?
Hello Jonathan, The new smart system from Bosch is an innovative product that is separate from the previously known Bosch e-bike system.
Due to technical factors, it is not yet compatible with the Performance Line Speed motor, which is why we cannot offer the models equipped with the smart system as HS versions until further notice.
Whether and when the smart system can be technically combined with the High Speed motor in the future and whether we will then expand our product range to include a HS version, we are unfortunately unable to answer this question at this time.
Already ordered this one a few weeks ago. I hope it's going to be as good as I think it will
Hello, @Rafterman Howard, we are glad that you have chosen the Charger4 and hope that it meets your expectations. We wish you many enjoyable rides with it! Your Riese & Müller team
@@rieseundmuellerGmbH Edit after 700km's of usage: apart from the high beam button mount which is a bit flimsy and moves when pressed too hard, everything on the bike that is Riese & Müller has been great. However, you guys have really been let down by Bosch and their smart system. It has been nothing but errors and failed updates for me, culminating in me now having a bricked bike that won't even turn on sitting in my garage, led's flashing with orange error colors is the only life I can get in the bike anymore.
Very nice bike! I want to place the order but I am waiting for the charger 4 mixte variant for my wife. When will it be available?
Hello Claudine, Thank you for your feedback! At the current time we unfortunately cannot say whether and if so when you can expect it. However, should there be a Mixte variant, you will find out on our website or in our newsletter, for which you are welcome to register.
Best regards
Your Riese & Müller Team
What is the spec difference between charger3 and 4 except the battery ? And also do we get mixte (step through ) model like charger 3 had ?
Hello SportsFan, the Charger4 uses the new Bosch smart system, which is offered with the Performance Line CX motor (4th Gen), the 750 Wh battery, the LED Remote and the Kiox 300. With the smart system, even greater emphasis is placed on connectivity. You can find more information here: www.bosch-ebike.com/de/produkte/das-smarte-system
Currently, the Charger4 is not compatible with the Rohloff e-14 shifting system and is not available as an HS Bike. The Mixte variant will be introduced in summer and will be configurable on the website from 1.8.22.
The Charger3 is equipped with a 625 Wh motor as standard, which can be upgraded to 1125 Wh with the DualBattery option. It can be combined with different displays and is available with Rohloff as well as HS Bike.
The individual components installed also differ in part. For more detailed information, we ask you to take a look at the specification list on the respective websites of the bikes and get individual advice from a Riese & Müller dealer.

I want to get an ebike “now” and my local bike shop has a Charger 3 coming in next month. Besides the additional battery capacity what are the benefits of the charger 4 over the 3, it isn’t clear to me. I am inclined to just get the 3 next month and start enjoy but wanted to get an idea what I would be missing if I waited for the 4 (sounds like it might be next year).

Bosch announced the new Smart System for Bosch Performance Speed drive unit. Any plans to add it to the new Charger 4 or have add it to new Mixte version (hopefully planned soon?) Thanks!
Hello and thank you for your comment. The HS models will be released during model year 23, probably in the first half of 2023.
What the version of the enviolo 380 do you use in this ebike?
The Charger4 comes with the Enviolo 380 trekking hub
OT but some other videos have comments deactivated: Would be great if you guys could upload more how to videos for cleaning/maintenance. For example I moved and now have no RM shop close for maintenance/tune up
Hi Zerodiscount! Do you happen to know that if one plans on touring remote areas of the world on an R&M that it becomes a problem if there is nowhere to go for a tune up? Do you mean to change the oil every 30,000 km or do you mean other things they must do? I want to take several years and travel far and wide i.e. South America, Africa, Asia etc.
@@mwj5368 no idea but probably most things you can teach yourself with a bit of talent. If more electronic or motor issue you’d probably need a shop. Not sure if any eBike store will do
That is the perfect bike for me but. I like the ROHLOFF hub went is going to be avaliable????? Please let me know
Unfortunately, the Rohloff e-14 and the smart system didn't match at the time of the launch of this model, so it wasn't possible for us to offer this combination.
In the meantime it fits, but we cannot say at this stage whether we'll launch a Charger4 Rohloff in the new model year.
@@rieseundmuellerGmbH I am anxiously waiting for the charger4 to be announced with the Rohloff. Will order it as soon as it becomes available.
no rohloff option somehow
Unfortunately, the smart system is not compatible with rohloff at the moment.
@@rieseundmuellerGmbH Okay, makes sense. Do you guys plan to update the supercharger with the new smart system too and is there any info on when this might happen? Would love to see a super charger with a smart system + 2x750 batteries. It would be hands down my holy grail of e-bikes :D
@@nerooweb the DualBattery function is also not yet compatible with the smart system. If and when Bosch will allow this combination and whether there will then be a Supercharger with the smart system, we unfortunately cannot say at the moment.
@@rieseundmuellerGmbH Okay, thank you for your answer! Helps me a lot. Viele Grüße aus Braunschweig :)
At 5:54 I'm sorry as I'm probably the only one who hears "can't" instead of can. It sounds like you say "can't" have the Rolhoff hub with this bike. Also you show the Envio hub which also makes me think that maybe the Rolhoff isn't the best choice. Is it now where only the Envio is available? Why do you choose Envio over Rolhoff? I'm probably the only one who hears this so sorry about that. For extended world touring is the cargo bike a better choice or to have the Super Charger GT and pull a one wheeled trailer? Also has the war in Ukraine slowed down your manufacturing? Do you heat your factory 100% solar, or off the grid? Also thank you for all the great things you are doing for a Green Generation!
The Charger4 is equipped with the new smart system from Bosch. For technical reasons, this cannot yet be combined with the Rohloff e-Shift, which is why we are offering the models equipped with the smart system with a derailleur (touring) and the continuously variable Enviolo hub gears (vario) until further notice.
Whether and when the smart system can be technically combined with the electric Rohloff gearshift in the future and whether we will then expand our product range with a Rohloff variant, we can unfortunately not answer at this time.
Regarding product advice, we kindly ask you to contact a dealer directly. You can tell him about your planned trip and he can advise you in detail directly on site. You can find a list of our dealers here: www.r-m.de/en-en/dealer-search/.
At the campus in Mühltal and in logistics, Riese & Müller already operates 100 percent climate-neutral. For more information, please read our responsibility report: www.r-m.de/en-en/responsibility/
@@rieseundmuellerGmbH I will order the Charger4 when it becomes available with the Rohloff e-Shift. I am hopping you will figure out the technical issues soon!
Super Charger 2 with dual battery Envilio Hub and HS motor is more appealing to me, component wise and aesthetically.
Don’t really see the point in the 4.
eek that is such an ugly looking weld around the head tube!!
For the price of these bikes the welding is AWFUL 3:17. Look at the welding on Aventon ebikes and see how it should be done.
