Who is the Riese & Müller Charger5 Vario suitable for?

The Charger5 Vario is ideal for riders who want one bike that can do it all – from weekday commuting to long weekend adventures – with the refinement that only Riese & Müller deliver. Thanks to its Enviolo continuous hub gear and Gates Carbon Belt Drive, you get effortless shifting and virtually maintenance-free running, even under heavy load.

It’s also a strong option for anyone carrying loads or passengers: the MIK HD rack is child-seat compatible and ready for panniers or baskets, making it a capable family and touring bike in equal measure.

At its heart is Bosch’s Smart System Performance Line CX motor, delivering 85Nm of torque with upgradeable firmware via the Bosch Flow app. Paired with a Bosch PowerTube 800Wh battery for extended range and new modes like eMTB+ for adaptive support, it offers a powerful, connected ride. Optional ABS and enhanced lighting underline its focus on all-round safety and control.

Built for everyday and beyond

The Charger5 Vario is engineered for both agility and comfort. A rigid diamond frame, 100mm SR Suntour suspension fork, and By.Schulz suspension seatpost combine to deliver a balanced ride on tarmac or trails.

The Charger5 platform can be adapted to almost any riding style. The MIK HD carrier makes attaching a child seat or basket simple, while additional struts support panniers for touring. A front carrier with bag is available for everyday essentials, and optional extras like a trailer hitch or upgraded locks extend versatility even further.
