Bosch Smart System Power & Drive

At the heart of the Charger5 Rohloff Mixte is the Bosch Performance Line CX Smart System, a drive unit engineered for both endurance and refinement. Delivering up to 85 Nm of torque, this motor adapts instantly to your pedalling input — providing powerful acceleration, smooth transitions, and intuitive assistance across all terrains.

For those who crave even more performance, Bosch offers a firmware upgrade to 100 Nm torque, pushing the limits of efficiency and responsiveness. This level of adaptability makes the Rohloff Mixte just as capable on a cross-town commute as it is on an all-day countryside ride.

Power comes from the Bosch PowerTube 800 Wh battery, seamlessly integrated into the down tube for sleek aesthetics and balanced handling. For extended touring, the optional Bosch PowerMore 250 Wh Range Extender increases total capacity to 1,050 Wh, ensuring energy for every journey.

The system connects effortlessly to the Bosch Flow App, where you can customize assist modes, view navigation, monitor range, and apply over-the-air updates. Together, these features make the Charger5 Rohloff Mixte a truly “smart” eBike — constantly improving and always ready to perform.

Comfort, Handling & Frame Design

The Mixte frame offers all the performance of the Charger5 Rohloff with an extra dose of accessibility. Its low step-through design allows easy mounting and dismounting while maintaining the stiffness and handling precision expected from Riese & Müller.

The geometry provides a natural, upright riding position that relieves strain on your wrists, shoulders, and back — ideal for longer days in the saddle or navigating stop-and-go urban traffic. The frame is especially suited for riders between 160–175 cm (5'3"–5'9"), providing excellent control and comfort for a wide range of body types.

Up front, the Fox AWL 34 Boost suspension fork with 100 mm travel absorbs bumps and uneven surfaces, making rough pavement and gravel roads feel smooth. Paired with Schwalbe Super Moto-X tires, it delivers a plush, stable ride with outstanding grip and minimal rolling resistance.

The Magura MT5/MT4 hydraulic disc brakes offer precise braking control, while the optional Bosch eBike ABS 2.0 ensures balanced stopping power on slippery surfaces. Every design choice — from the hydroformed aluminum frame to the integrated fenders and carrier — works in harmony to create a ride that’s quiet, confident, and beautifully balanced.

Components & Features

The Charger5 Rohloff Mixte sets the gold standard for low-maintenance eBike drivetrains.

• Rohloff E-14 Electronic Hub: A 14-speed internally geared hub with electronic shifting. Each shift happens in just 180 milliseconds — nearly instantaneous — and the system can shift automatically when you stop, ensuring you always start in the right gear.
• Gates CDX Carbon Belt Drive: Quiet, clean, and maintenance-free, this carbon-reinforced belt never needs lubrication and resists wear for tens of thousands of kilometres.
• Lighting System: A powerful Supernova M99 Mini Pro 25 headlight and integrated rear light provide exceptional visibility day or night.
• Display: The Bosch Kiox 500 colour display offers real-time performance data, navigation, and app integration for fitness and ride tracking.
• Connectivity: The RX Chip adds GPS functionality, anti-theft tracking, and digital ride logging through the RX Connect app.
• Utility: The rear carrier supports MIK HD accessories, while aluminum fenders and an included chain lock make the bike ready for all-weather commuting.

Each component has been chosen for maximum durability and elegance. This is a bike built to outlast traditional drivetrains — a machine you can depend on for the next decade and beyond.
