The Riese & Müller Culture. Street style meets minimalism.

A modern look and natural riding experience: meet the Riese & Müller Culture. Its pastel color frame with its striking bend in the top tube is guaranteed to immediately grab attention in and around town. Sustainability was a real priority in its frame construction. You’ll also be cruising around the streets in style with its lightweight and efficient Bosch SX motor and 400 Wh battery. Just take the Culture home to charge it – it’s guaranteed to look good there too.

Design you won’t forget.

Its design is so appealing, it makes you want to take it right home with you: thanks to its modern pastel colors, minimalist features and slim round tubes. The bend on the top tube and the curved seat strut loop combine to create a striking frame. Its raised headset with curved handlebars provides for excellent comfort – so now you can leisurely cycle around town for hours on the Riese & Müller Culture. And do so with a clear conscience: about 50% of the frame is made of recycled aluminum.

Part of the concept.

Take your Culture with you as you efficiently go about your day-to-day business. The Bosch 400 Wh battery integrated into the frame underscores its clean look, and is charged directly in the bike. Moreover, the optional additional 250 Wh battery provides even more power: if you’re out for a longer ride, just secure it in the bag on the down tube. The lightweight and quiet Bosch SX motor blends into the frame as seamlessly as the battery. Combining a natural riding experience with the benefits of an e-bike.

Everything at a glance.

The LED Remote keeps operation simple: use it to select the right riding mode, then just relax and ride your bike. Colored LEDs clearly present all the key information. And thanks to the SP Connect interface integrated into the stem, you can also use your smartphone. A smartphone case is available separately. The optional Purion 200 display also provides a clean look, as well as information about speed, range and much more.

Less is more.

It doesn’t take much for successful riding in urban traffic. It just takes the right thing. Functional elements and add-ons fit seamlessly into the bike. The rear light integrated into the mudguard and the reflector on the saddle ensure good visibility in road traffic. An optional carrier lets you transport your work bag or the weekly shop safely from A to B. And a child seat (DIN EN 14344) is easy to install on top. Optional for our suspension kit with suspension fork and suspension seatpost for ultra-smooth riding over curbs and bumpy surfaces.
