Fully Integrated E-Bikes

The Riese & Müller 'New Charger' and 'Supercharger' Offer Expansive Range

— March 7, 2018 — Autos
Riese & Müller, the premium e-bike manufacturer out of Germany, has arrived at a watershed moment with its two newest bicycles, the 'New Charger' and the 'Supercharger'. The e-bikes have fully integrated batteries, meaning that they provide the same power and range as earlier models, but without the bulky appearance that plagues many other battery-powered bikes.

The New Charger and Supercharger incorporate the Bosch PowerTube battery into the frame's downtube. Both models can also be fitted with an optional DualBattery, which gives them a total of 1,000 Wh and up to 100 miles of range on a single charge. The e-bikes are thus well-suited to day trips or long-distance commutes.

Currently on the market, the New Charger is on offer in five different configurations, while the Supercharger is available in seven configurations.
Trend Themes
1. Fully Integrated E-bikes - E-bike manufacturers can explore fully-integrated batteries to provide the same power and range but without the bulky appearance.
2. Dualbattery Technology - Further development in dual-battery technology can pave the way for more reliable long-distance e-bikes.
3. Customizable E-bikes - Manufacturers can focus on selling e-bikes that are specifically tailored to the needs and preferences of customers.
Industry Implications
1. Electric Bike Industry - Manufacturers can focus on creating more efficient, easier to use, and cost-effective e-bikes.
2. Bike Sharing Industry - Bike-sharing companies can consider offering e-bikes to meet the demands of customers who require an easy, convenient, and efficient mode of transportation.
3. Electric Car Industry - Electric car manufacturers can consider integrating e-bikes that match the style and technical specifications of their cars in their product offerings.
