Design & Craftsmanship

The Homage5 Vario continues Riese & Müller’s legacy of innovation through meticulous craftsmanship and precision engineering. Its step-through full-suspension frame combines aesthetic purity with structural rigidity, making it one of the most stable and comfortable electric touring bikes in the world.

The integrated Bosch PowerTube 800 Wh battery sits flush within the frame for perfect weight distribution and a sleek profile. The bold Fox suspension setup ensures that no surface is off-limits — the Homage5 glides across pavement, gravel, and cobblestones alike.

It’s as practical as it is powerful, offering the ideal blend of luxury and function.

Power & Performance

Bosch Performance Line CX Motor

The Bosch Performance Line CX Smart System powers the Homage5 Vario with an astounding 85 Nm of torque and adaptive support that feels natural and responsive. Designed for both efficiency and power, it delivers the right amount of assistance exactly when you need it — whether starting uphill or cruising on long flats.

The system integrates seamlessly with the Bosch eBike Flow App, offering:

Personalized motor tuning
Ride analytics and activity tracking
Navigation and range prediction
Security and system updates over the air

Bosch PowerTube 800 Wh + PowerMore 250 Wh

Engineered for endurance, the Bosch PowerTube 800 Wh provides exceptional range for full-day adventures or extended tours. For those who go the extra mile, the optional PowerMore 250 Wh range extender boosts total capacity to 1,050 Wh, ensuring the Homage5 Vario never runs out of energy before you do.

This dual-capacity setup delivers maximum range without compromising the bike’s balance or design integrity.

Transmission & Drivetrain

Enviolo Heavy Duty CVT

The Enviolo Heavy Duty hub delivers a continuously variable transmission, allowing riders to shift smoothly under power or at a stop — no clicks, no jumps, just fluid motion. Simply twist the grip to adjust resistance and cadence for a truly relaxed and intelligent ride experience.

Perfect for stop-and-go city riding or long ascents, it offers:

Stepless gear adjustment
Low maintenance sealed hub system
Exceptional load capacity
Long service life and easy use

Gates CDX Carbon Belt Drive

Replacing the traditional chain, the Gates CDX belt ensures a silent, clean, and maintenance-free ride. Built from carbon fiber-reinforced polyurethane, it lasts far longer than standard chains and requires no lubrication.

Configuration:

Front: 60T
Rear: 26T
Gates CDX CenterTrack system

This combination of Enviolo + Gates CDX represents the gold standard of comfort and reliability in eBike drivetrains.

Comfort & Suspension

Fox Full-Suspension Control

The Fox AWL 34 Air fork (120 mm travel) and Fox Float Rhythm SV rear shock (165x45 mm) form the backbone of Riese & Müller’s Control Technology — a proprietary full-suspension system that keeps you stable, comfortable, and in control.

From uneven roads to cobbled streets, this setup absorbs impact and vibration, allowing the rider to maintain smooth traction and effortless confidence.

Brakes

Lighting System

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.
