I've been considering a Riese and Müller. This video is the icing on the cake. As often as possible I buy from countries where workers have safe environments, are well-paid, have holidays, sick pay and other benefits. It costs more for the consumer but less for the employee.
Great video. I am the proud owner of a R&M Super Charger, and it is a wonderful piece of engineering. The workers in the factory look very relaxed. Good quality materials, good working conditions, German design equal a great biking experience. I don't think R&M can lower prices. The margins must be thin. Dealers need 45% to survive, you have tariffs, transport cost, highly paid labor in Germany, expensive parts, etc. It is actually a miracle that they can produce these bikes at the current price point. Nevertheless, they are expensive and that seems to be true for all good things in life.
I've been commuting daily with a Riese & Müller Charger for the last 2 years and couldn't be happier. They might be pricier than other alternatives, but in the long run, I feel every penny is justified. They are just beautifully crafted bikes.
The frames are manufactured in a variety of places. They have had frames built in China in the past although most of them are built in Taiwan and they are moving much of their production to Portugal these days. The frame in the video was made in Portugal for example.
I just visited the Propel Bike shop in Brooklyn NY. I was able to test ride two bikes. I was mesmerized by the video. Once the winter passes in NYC I’m going to return to Propel and get myself the Tinker Vario.
This production facility looks like a place Riese and Müller can be proud of. I have yet to purchase an electric-assist bicycle (sold my last bike due to chronic knee pain and am wary of involvement again), but I can appreciate an operation like this, as opposed to an anonymous facility somewhere in China, slapping bikes together at maybe 5x the speed, to be sold by multiple brands.
You got it! I hope it was detailed enough. We had a lot more footage, but I figure this is a good glimpse. It sure is awesome what they’re doing though!
That’s a very nice factory. Who would have thought that so much technology goes into building a bike, especially an e bike! Those Reise and Muller bikes are really cool. If I could only afford one...
Thanks Harvey! They make awesome bikes for sure and the production facility is one of the best I’ve seen. The bikes are pricey, but I will note they are well worth the money from my perspective.
Thanks for the great video! As a happy owner in the UK of a Rohloff Supercharger, your videos were a big part of why I went for an R&M bike in the first place. Sorry you don't have a store over here!
Great video , and its very much appreciated that the factory in Germany has an excellent disability friendly approach with recruitment for its work force, a question for you Chris, given you have to import from the EU, are the import tariffs high ? and whats your thoughts on the new 25% hit on EU goods , with the further threat of more to come ?
Thanks! I’m glad you like it! They do have a very great corporate responsibility, it’s quite inspiring and I’ve learned many things by the way they operate. For years there has been no import duties on ebikes as a way to encourage their use. So far it’s been only China has been hit by the tariffs, I hope it doesn’t happen to products from the EU as most of our bikes come from there at the moment. I don’t think it will though, but I’ll never say never.
I bought the Multicharger passenger as a car replacement in July 2019. Since 1500km driven. No problems, only driving pleasure. The bike is so stable, load hardly noticeable. The white sparkles in the sun. Nyon with its own gears is perfect. The countless beautiful moments and experiences of cycling with my daughter on board make me happy. Thank you Mr. Riese & Müller with team for the product!
Propel Electric Bikes -Yes, I have an Electra Townie Go 8i. I so love it as it allows me to ride longer and faster than I otherwise could. I got an e-bike after watching you with Court many times. There is space in my garage for the Nevo though! It is a beauty and so well made.
Thanks Lin! It’s great to hear that your ebike is helping you get out more! Court is awesome and I’m grateful to work with him. Let us know if we can ever help get that Nevo in your garage or better yet out on the road on even longer rides ;)
Great video Chris. Just subscribed to your channel. Like many here RM bikes are what I hope to own one day. My wife and I tested this very model in Austin, TX last year and we were blown away. Awesome build, great features and super comfortable. BTW, you aren't doing videos with EBR and Court anymore? Just wondering. Much success in your bike shops. 😁
Thanks Juan! I appreciate you subscribing and I hope you enjoy the future content. The R&M bikes are awesome and we’re grateful to be connected with them. I do plan to still do videos with Court and we have done one since we started the channel. I just had more that I wanted to create and I wanted to see my vision through. I see these videos helping many people and it’s a good way for me to communicate the vision of my business to my staff and our current and future potential customers. I really enjoy doing it!
@@Propelbikes I've been watching more of your channel and I have to say that the videos are very informative and well done. Glad to see that you've decided to follow your vision. I like the interviews, personal stories, bike reviews, how-to's, etc. Again, great work and thanks. 😁
Thanks Juan! I really appreciate your comments. It’s great to hear you’re enjoying the videos. Let me know if there are any you’d like to see more of. We have many more reviews and stories to come. I think we’ll be doing more how to’s and tech tips this winter once we cover all the bikes.
The frames are made in a variety of places, but largely Portugal, Taiwan and some in China. There are few large scale frame manufacturers throughout the world and R&M work with several of them depending on the bikes unique features. The motors are made in Hungary and most of the rims are made Taiwan as they primarily work with Alex.
Good video. Personally, I still can not get my head around the cost of these e-bikes compare to what you can get in either a motorcycle or a cheap beater car. (just from physical product/hardware/utility it can offer for the money) Again, just my own opinion. In my financial world, all these ebikes are 50% too much. Until than... I pedal my cheap used garage sale bike.
Thanks! Glad you liked the video and I totally hear you on the price thing. These bikes are often regarded as the Mercedes of ebikes and I think that’s an appropriate assessment. Sure there are some VW of ebikes, but it depends on what you want. An ebike definitely offers more utility in a city than a car or a motorcycle from my perspective. I’m glad that you’re riding though. Whatever gets you out there is great from my point of view.
I agree. Dunno if Reise and Muller even do non-electric bikes but in the case of Gazelle, their electric bike that costs £2100 is just £700 in non-electric form and the plain old 3 speeder is just £500 which is all a bit mad really!
As a counterpoint, there is a mountain bike manufacturer/dealer near me selling a brand that runs $5k - $8k+ for top-quality, NON-assisted bikes. When you can appreciate differences in quality - and can afford and really make use of the best - then you know what you're doing when you buy an elite product. If having a lower-quality product (or "a cheap beater car") suits you just fine, then that's a good match for you.
Thanks for the video guy of the factory Propel electric bike's in yuor paid yeeeaaaa sig sey in to good sessions of thes a good bike's. Saluds of the Santig of Chile 🇨🇱 nice day. 🤘😁🤘🇺🇲🗣️🗺️🚵🚴🚲📹🤠✌️♥️💯🍀👍♥️
Yes, we know someone would comment on this. She is a brand new rider and that’s how she wanted to start out. She is well aware of the appropriate saddle height but she will work up to that point. We should all try to be more tolerant of new riders, we were all that person one day.
I hope that makes sense. This scenario happens a lot in the shop. I’d rather someone start where they are comfortable than to have the perfectly adjusted saddle. We have even installed dropper seat posts on urban bikes sometimes to give people an easier time to stabilize the bike when they’re stopped.
@@Propelbikes Thanks! This is understandable. To be honest, I also was considering a dropper seat posts for my Homage GX 2019 as it is almost impossible to get a save stand when stopping suddenly at a traffic light, especially on uneven ground. Permanent lowering of the saddle, however, is no option when driving longer distances.
No worries. We’ll probably make a video about this topic as it is an important one for sure. I would highly recommend a dropper post, they are really great to have. I have one on the Load I ride often and it’s really helps me handle the bike more easily, especially when it’s near it’s capacity and I stop. I don’t have to get off the saddle.
@@Propelbikes great video, thank you! Would really appreciate seeing a video on this topic too. Is there a challenge with after market droppers? 1:58 shows cabling going in then 3:10 shows some pull through space around the motor, does the 2020 Superdelite GT Rohloff have enough space for this to be a simple install? I'm a bit worried about the dealer having to pull too much apart on a brand new bike to install a dropper. In hindsight I probably should have gone GX option and swapped to road tires.
The Nevo is a great bike for sure. You can’t really beat it for a low step bike from my experience, unless you want to add suspension with the Homage or Culture. If you use the bike often you can generally realize the value, that’s our perspective at least.
Wasn’t super impressed by the welds on my super Delite...wasn’t exactly a “stack of dimes”...the welds don.t look too great on that nevo either but awesome bike none the less...
Propel Electric Bikes I’m sure they are stronger but I still think they could have done a more aesthetic job....I love the bike however - awesome range and power. I almost don’t need my motorbike anymore. I am asking the bike shop to do a mod with quick release electrics for removing the rear rack when I hit the trails. Also the supplied mudguards and pedals suck!
Yes, this came up, but the challenge as with many here in the US, she wasn’t experienced riding and felt more comfortable riding with the saddle lower. Won’t live that one down though lol
Looks like a great bike, but would just get stolen in the UK the first time it was left anywhere. If a bike's worth more than £50 you can't use it for anything other than pleasure cycle rides where it's always in view.
People have a similar feeling in NYC but with appropriate locks a good strategy and insurance you can actually use a nice bike to get around. I do it all the time and we have countless customers that do the same.
You can buy hidden trackers for the Bosch motor on the Nevo. This will alert you if your bike is moved and you will know exactly where it is (down to the exact house) if stolen. If you are paying this much for a bike, it's a no brainer!
At the end,wen the lady leaves de bikeshop, there is no fit! So you can see the result; the sadlle is to low.! The ankle of her knee is too big en she sits uncomfortable.
This was mentioned previously and we are well aware of this. She was a very inexperienced cyclist and she was made aware of the incorrect fitment but she wanted to start with a lower saddle so she could touch the ground easier when she stopped. Maybe we should have picked someone else for the video, but this is a reality of things sometimes.
What a contrast with the Chinese built bikes where a bunch of peasants are throwing together bikes as fast as they can while an overseer scowls at the slightest slow down. We recently received our Chinese made ebikes. Parts were missing, threads stripped out, extra hardware was lying in the shipping box that didn’t belong, loose parts. Total slap together delivery. This brand did have premium advertising.
I love my Riese& Müller bike, have done more than 5,000 km in the first year. The video clip is good, but it hurts me to watch the girl at the end, because of her very unhealthy seat position.
Great to hear you are getting a good amount of saddle time. I know and she knows she is in the incorrect saddle position. Unfortunately we have many cyclists that are very new it’s safer for them to start a bit lower. I’m happy to report that a week later she is now at an appropriate height, but I will never force someone to raise their saddle just because that’s what is deemed as correct. Safety and comfort come first. I guess I’m some ways this is a sign of the state of cycling in the US. We have a long way to go since many kids don’t ride bikes these days.
We all know the seat height is a little low. She doesn’t have much experience riding but she is aware of the appropriate height and will work up to it. We do this often for new riders and I think it works as long as they feel safe.
Maybe you’re right, sometimes it’s just a time and resource thing. We could have had another person ride the bike, but we work with what we have sometimes.
Yes, we know this. She is very inexperienced and was more comfortable starting there. This happens sometimes. We educate them on the appropriate saddle height and they usually get their saddle to the proper height within a week or so if riding. I think it’s totally fine if people start there if it means they will feel more confident at first.
I've been considering a Riese and Müller. This video is the icing on the cake. As often as possible I buy from countries where workers have safe environments, are well-paid, have holidays, sick pay and other benefits. It costs more for the consumer but less for the employee.
Although we don't know where the components are manufactured. Like motor build, frame welding, fork, etc...
I'm getting my first R&M bike soon (Charger4 Rohloff), I can't wait!
I've been really enjoying your excellent videos!
Great video. I am the proud owner of a R&M Super Charger, and it is a wonderful piece of engineering. The workers in the factory look very relaxed. Good quality materials, good working conditions, German design equal a great biking experience. I don't think R&M can lower prices. The margins must be thin.

Nevertheless, they are expensive and that seems to be true for all good things in life.
That is true, R&M look like BMW motorbike.
I've been commuting daily with a Riese & Müller Charger for the last 2 years and couldn't be happier. They might be pricier than other alternatives, but in the long run, I feel every penny is justified. They are just beautifully crafted bikes.
This is the story we’re looking to repeat. Thank you for being a power of example for others to ditch the car 😉
I also have a Charger - with Performance CX motor. It is awesome. I can carry so many tools and equipment. It is a brilliant bike.
Are the “partner factories” that make the frame in Germany or China?
The frames are manufactured in a variety of places. They have had frames built in China in the past although most of them are built in Taiwan and they are moving much of their production to Portugal these days. The frame in the video was made in Portugal for example.
I just tested one out, and its an fantastic bike. I love the belt driven smooth drive, and has great power.
I just visited the Propel Bike shop in Brooklyn NY. I was able to test ride two bikes. I was mesmerized by the video. Once the winter passes in NYC I’m going to return to Propel and get myself the Tinker Vario.
Thanks for visiting! I hope you had a nice time! The Tinker is a personal favorite and I’m sure you’ll love it!
I’m from Germany, but your R&M videos are the best!

Excellent video, very well shot. Nice to see them being assembled by hand. Where are the frames manufactured? By whom?
Wow it looks like the assembly line at Ferrari ... immaculate work stations and a bike that is built to reflect it's price.. well done Chris!
I just bought a Riese & Muller Nevo GT automatic.Worth every dollar.
Hello, I learned about bike from my acquaintance as a Korean. I am riding a Tinker Barrio now, but I always look forward to new products
This is great really appreciated seeing this. Please do another... hopefully a Super Delite Rohloff!
What a fun video to watch! Great Job Chris!
Thanks so much Paul! Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Really nice made video! Watched it a second time right after just because it was so good :)
That’s a very nice compliment! Thank you very much. Stay tuned for more to come 😊
NIce insight to the process. I ordered mine last week and expect to get it (UK) mid Sept.
Nice! Glad you enjoyed
Chris, thank you for a great and informative video.
Thanks for watching and for your comment! I’m glad you enjoyed it :)
Thanks Chris, this video reminds me of the days that we could attend an US automotive assembly plant! Enjoyed it.
You got it! Glad you enjoyed it! I never visited an automobile plant but it would be cool for sure.
Great video , and its very much appreciated that the factory in Germany has an excellent disability friendly approach with recruitment for its work force, a question for you Chris, given you have to import from the EU, are the import tariffs high ? and whats your thoughts on the new 25% hit on EU goods , with the further threat of more to come ?

I just bought a Supercharger HS Rolhoff, I look forward to the opening day!!
I have one of these, bought on the basis of one I used for 6,000 km touring in Europe.
Hi there. Nice video. Question where can I find the serial number on my nevo 3?
What's the average lead time from placing the order to delivery in store? Thanks.
It really varies, but I would say 1-3 months depending on shipping options.
🌐✌ very well produced vid. Best of luck to this e-bike manufacturer's future .
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed!
Thanks for this look, great! ..... i have a bike from this Factory. Iam so happy
Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Which bike did you get? How do you like it?
I bought the Multicharger passenger as a car replacement in July 2019. Since 1500km driven. No problems, only driving pleasure. The bike is so stable, load hardly noticeable.

Thanks Chris. I think I am going to buy one
Hi I want a riese and muller full suspension low step belt drive fully loaded where can I get one thank u brian
Very interesting video and well done. I would love to get that red Nevo someday.
Thanks Lin! It was a lot of fun! That Nevo is one of our most popular bikes. It sure is great! Do you have an ebike now?

hey , what is the autonomy of riese and muller bikes ??
Wow I can feel the excitement in your every word !!
Not sure if this is meant to be sarcastic as I’m not a very excitable guy, but I do try to be enthusiastic. I’m definitely open to feedback though
It would be interesting to see the packster 70 bike !!
Great video I really enjoyed it-!!
Great to hear! We aim to please 😉
what would be the typical lead time from order to delivery?
Where are the frames, motors and rims made?
The frames are made in a variety of places, but largely Portugal, Taiwan and some in China. There are few large scale frame manufacturers throughout the world and R&M work with several of them depending on the bikes unique features.
The motors are made in Hungary and most of the rims are made Taiwan as they primarily work with Alex.
Good Job !
Great video thanks for sharing
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it and we’re happy to share! 😊
Rad video thanks
No way..... she touched the breakes, without gloves? Cumon
I think the bike shop I buy from will need to send you a cheque for a commission off the sale.
Lol! We’ve heard this one many times ;)
Good video.
Personally, I still can not get my head around the cost of these e-bikes compare to what you can get in either a motorcycle or a cheap beater car. (just from physical product/hardware/utility it can offer for the money)
Again, just my own opinion. In my financial world, all these ebikes are 50% too much. Until than... I pedal my cheap used garage sale bike.

If having a lower-quality product (or "a cheap beater car") suits you just fine, then that's a good match for you.
It has mechanical brakes ?
All of their ebikes have hydraulic disc or rim brakes. This one has disc.
Never thought the process of my bankrupcy would have been filmed in full HD and narrated. Not complaining though.
I would have thought FMJ paid you well
@@Propelbikes Nah, Stingy Stanley kept everything for himself. Didn't even reimburse my stolen camera.

My wife rode this model a couple of weeks ago. She liked it, but thought it was very expensive.
The Nevo is a great bike for sure. You can’t really beat it for a low step bike from my experience, unless you want to add suspension with the Homage or Culture.
If you use the bike often you can generally realize the value, that’s our perspective at least.
How much is a Reese &Mueller ebike in U S dollars and do the ship to Texas USA?
They start around $4000 and yes we do ship to Texas. You can see more about the bikes here: propelbikes.com/brand/riese-muller-electric-bikes/
Sweeet!!
Thanks Gregory! Can I ask what you liked about the video?
Wasn’t super impressed by the welds on my super Delite...wasn’t exactly a “stack of dimes”...the welds don.t look too great on that nevo either but awesome bike none the less...
This topic has come up several times. Charter standing the idea behind these welds are that they are stronger then sanded versions.
Propel Electric Bikes I’m sure they are stronger but I still think they could have done a more aesthetic job....I love the bike however - awesome range and power. I almost don’t need my motorbike anymore. I am asking the bike shop to do a mod with quick release electrics for removing the rear rack when I hit the trails. Also the supplied mudguards and pedals suck!
My dream e-bike is an RM
You’re not alone there. Which one would you choose?
Lol, i was thinking the same thing as i scrolled to your comment! The older load60 is still my dream bike.
elevenAD I feel like Charlie in the Chocolate Factory every time I’m there. It’s a magical place. The Load 60 is my #1!
Too bad customer don't know how to adjust the seatpost
Yes, this came up, but the challenge as with many here in the US, she wasn’t experienced riding and felt more comfortable riding with the saddle lower. Won’t live that one down though lol
Very nice but very expensive it's not for body
It's very difficult to justify the price
Hopefully the price will come down
Looks like a great bike, but would just get stolen in the UK the first time it was left anywhere. If a bike's worth more than £50 you can't use it for anything other than pleasure cycle rides where it's always in view.

@@Propelbikes im sure that it works, but why would you use it in such a promotion video? It ruined the whole look of this beautiful R&M.
Maybe you’re right, sometimes it’s just a time and resource thing. We could have had another person ride the bike, but we work with what we have sometimes.
The Seattle is way to low. Bad fitting
Yes, we know this. She is very inexperienced and was more comfortable starting there. This happens sometimes. We educate them on the appropriate saddle height and they usually get their saddle to the proper height within a week or so if riding.
