Bosch Smart System Power & Drive

At the heart of the Charger5 Automatic is the Bosch Performance Line CX Smart System motor (BDU384Y) — Bosch’s latest high-performance drive unit for 2026. With up to 100 Nm of torque, it delivers dynamic acceleration and powerful climbing ability while maintaining smooth, natural pedal response.

The Bosch PowerTube 800 Wh battery gives exceptional range and endurance, supporting longer commutes, extended tours, or multiple days of city riding between charges. For those who want maximum range, the optional Bosch PowerMore 250 Wh Range Extender boosts total capacity to 1,050 Wh.

Everything connects through the Bosch Smart System. The LED Remote and Kiox 500 display offer instant access to ride data, assist levels, and navigation, while the Bosch Flow App allows complete customization — from assist tuning to over-the-air firmware updates.

It’s intelligent, future-ready power, designed to evolve with you.

Enviolo AUTOMATiQ: Effortless Shifting, Perfect Cadence

What sets the Charger5 Automatic apart is its fully automatic transmission system. The Enviolo AUTOMATiQ hub adjusts gear ratios continuously and automatically, maintaining your chosen cadence regardless of speed, terrain, or incline.

You simply set your preferred pedaling rhythm in the Bosch Flow App, and the system takes care of everything else — seamlessly adjusting as you ride. No more shifting, no gear jumps, no missed shifts. Just consistent, smooth motion.

Paired with the Gates CDX carbon belt drive, the drivetrain is whisper-quiet, completely grease-free, and virtually maintenance-free. The belt doesn’t rust or stretch, and the sealed hub keeps dust, water, and dirt out, making the Charger5 Automatic ideal for all-weather use.

For urban riders and commuters, it’s the ultimate low-maintenance setup — ready to perform year-round with zero fuss.

Comfort, Handling & Frame Design

The Charger5 Automatic is built on Riese & Müller’s proven Charger5 frame — a geometry that combines sporty precision with everyday comfort. The riding position is upright and relaxed, providing excellent visibility in traffic and reducing wrist, neck, and back strain on longer rides.

The SR Suntour Mobie34 Boost fork (100 mm) smooths out road imperfections and light trails, while Schwalbe Super Moto-X tires ensure grip, cushioning, and quiet rolling. Together, they create a ride quality that feels composed and confident on any surface.

At 31.6 kg, the frame strikes the perfect balance between stability and agility. With its integrated Bosch PowerTube 800 battery, internal cable routing, and clean weld finishing, the Charger5 Automatic exudes the minimalist, premium design language that defines Riese & Müller.

The Magura MT5/MT4 hydraulic disc brakes provide reliable braking power in all conditions. Optional Bosch eBike ABS 2.0 adds another layer of control and safety, automatically optimizing braking pressure and preventing wheel lock-up.

Every ride feels balanced, smooth, and secure — whether you’re gliding through the city or cruising open roads.

Manufacturer Warranty

Warranty and guarantee

It is possible that a fault may occur with your Riese & Müller bike even though we prioritise quality and durability when selecting our components. In this case, we are often asked whether the fault is covered by the warranty or guarantee. These two terms are often used as synonyms, but have different meanings.

When does the warranty apply?

The warranty, also known as liability for defects, always applies if a defect existed or was expected to exist before the bike was handed over to you (e.g. material defect, assembly fault). The precise legal regulations governing a warranty are set out in the German Civil Code (BGB). The warranty starts at the moment you pick up your bike.

  • It lasts two years for new bikes individually built for you.
  • It also lasts two years for immediately available new bikes and ‘as new’ bikes from the online shop or our factory sales outlet (ridden less than 10 km).
  • The warranty is one year for used or demonstration bikes from our online shop or our factory sales outlet (ridden more than 10 km).

The buyer (you) must direct any claims under warranty to the seller of the bike. The seller is usually your Riese & Müller dealer. A warranty claim will also be handled by the dealer partner that you selected as the Service Hub when you purchased the bike, even with bikes bought in the online shop or from our factory sales outlet.

Your dealer will examine the complaint on site, assess it and then, if necessary, approach us to make a claim against us.

Warranty claims cannot be handled directly between you, the customer, and Riese & Müller, the manufacturer of the bike.

Your dealer will not usually contact Riese & Müller about defects relating to other manufacturers’ components, such as Bosch, Rohloff, Enviolo or Suntour, but will contact the component manufacturer directly. This approach is always applied in the interests of our customers, as direct communication between the companies concerned usually significantly shortens the processing time.

Of course, as the bike manufacturer, we are always available to support our dealers and component manufacturers as required.

Wear that is not due to a defect is not covered by the warranty.

Please check the exact warranty conditions applicable in your country.

When does the guarantee apply?

Regardless of the legally prescribed liability for defects, Riese & Müller grants a five-year guarantee for breakage of the frame or rear swing arm. Furthermore, we grant you a voluntary warranty on the battery of two years: we guarantee that the battery will have a capacity of 60 percent after two years or 500 full charge cycles (whichever occurs first). This guarantee applies if the following conditions are met:

  • You are the first owner of the bike.
  • You have registered your bike online within four weeks.
  • The bike logbook in the appendix of the general owner’s manual has been completed in full and all the inspections listed there have been carried out and entered.

All guarantee services and conditions are set out here in detail.
