This year’s Eurobike was a treasure trove of innovations and updates, especially from the e-bike brands we proudly stock. From Riese & Müller’s groundbreaking design changes to new advancements in drive systems, there’s a lot to be excited about. Here’s a closer look at the latest updates from our top e-bike brands, starting with the incredible advancements from Riese & Müller.
Riese & Müller: Redefining Excellence with the new Delite, SuperDelite, and Homage Models
Riese & Müller continues to push the boundaries of e-bike technology, and their latest updates are no exception. Here are the standout features and enhancements they’ve introduced:
Pinion MGU (Motor.Gearbox.Unit)
Next-Generation Drive System: The Pinion MGU combines a powerful electric motor with Pinion’s proven gear technology and electronic shifting. This innovative system offers:
Powerful mid-motor with electronic 12-gear shifting
Natural riding feel
Shifting while stationary or under full load
600% gear range
Low-maintenance, closed system
Standard RX Chip Connectivity
Seamless Integration and Anti-Theft Protection: All new models mentioned above now come standard with the RX Chip, ensuring your bike is always connected. This allows you to access vital bike data anytime, providing peace of mind with built-in GPS tracking and motion alarms to protect against theft.
Enhanced Battery Cover
Durable and Functional Design: The new aluminium battery cover, now matching the frame colour, is lockable and fully removable. It doubles as a transport cover, thanks to its independence from the battery, and features plastic trim to protect the frame's paintwork. Convenient plastic risers allow safe placement without scratches.
Standard Lowerable Seatpost
Increased Comfort and Convenience: The new lowerable seatpost is standard on all models in this range, enhancing comfort when mounting, dismounting, or stopping at traffic lights.
Revised Carrier Design
Improved Load Handling: The permanently fixed, co-sprung carrier has been completely redesigned. It ensures optimal riding characteristics even when fully loaded, and a new pannier rack option is available for all three models.
Multi-Drive Compatibility
Versatile Drive Systems: The frames are now compatible with various drive systems without changing the motor bracket or down tube. This flexibility allows for different motor and battery combinations, all fully integrated for a sleek look. We can now offer more tailored advice on motor power.
Sustainable Frame Production
Eco-Friendly Manufacturing: Frame production for these models has moved to Portugal, shortening transport routes and reducing environmental impact. With over 34% recycled aluminium content (ASI-certified), Riese & Müller are committed to sustainability and material circularity.
Refined Appearance and Geometry
Smooth Welding and New Colours: The frames feature flowing transitions and barely visible welds thanks to Smooth Welding. New powder-coated frame colours add a fresh, eco-conscious look. The revised geometry offers a more agile ride, improved weight distribution, and enhanced stability.
We were fortunate to test ride one of the new models featuring the Pinion Drive, and it was incredible. The ride offered smooth power delivery, ample torque, a vast gear range, and intuitive, quick gear shifts, with the added option of automatic gearing. These models will be dropping later in the year, pre orders opening soon, full product page and info soon.
