Riese & Müller Packster 40 vario

$8,085.00

The Riese & Müller Packster 40. Small frame — big ideas.

The Riese & Müller Packster 40 vario holds more than it promises: it is a compact cargo bike that, at 2.23 metres, it is only slightly longer than a conventional bike, despite its large cargo capacity.  Its threefold impact: it fits into any bike storage area, weighs less than 30 kg and is surprisingly agile, easy to ride, yet fast when desired.  It is also practical in that the seat cushion of the optional child seat can easily be folded down into the child’s footwell of the box, creating a cargo surface in an instant.  Thus, the Packster 40 is the new small-but-big hero of everyday life.

The Packster 40 vario has the continuously variable Enviolo 380 shifter and rear speed hub system and Gates Carbon Belt Drive for ultimate intuitive control, rugged durability, and virtually maintenance-free operation.
Although racing red is pictured here, it is no longer available.  Only the light grey version, pictured here as a ‘Packster 40 touring’ is available currently.

The Riese & Müller Packster 40 vario qualifies for a $300 Austin Energy rebate.
