Charger5 Mixte

The Charger5 is also available in a 'mixte' frame with a lower crossbar. It can be specified in a Small, Medium or Large frame and colour options include: magnesium, slate grey, maroon, lavender and dark red. Please contact us directly to place an order for the mixte frame. 

1. Choose your bike. Pick the specification, frame size and colour. The price updates as you go.

2. Add your options. Choose any factory options and accessories from the bike image below. Anything fitted at the factory has to be specified now, so if you are unsure, leave it and we will talk it through with you.

3. Check out with a 10% deposit. The balance is only due once your bike is built and ready to come to you.

4. We call you. Within one working day (Tuesday to Friday) we go through the whole build: sizing, drivetrain, battery, display, brakes, racks, tyres and accessories. Nothing goes to the factory until you are happy with it, and you can change or cancel anything up to that point.

5. We place the order and keep you posted. We confirm an estimated delivery window before the order goes in, and flag anything in your specification that extends it.

6. We build it and hand it over. Every bike is checked and built by our Cytech qualified mechanic at our workshop at Little Dartmouth before it goes anywhere. Free delivery throughout England and Wales, fully built, or free collection from us by appointment.

Not sure about any of it? Call us on 03330 151 979 or email hello@ebikeist.com. We would rather spend twenty minutes getting the specification right than have you order the wrong thing.

Riese & Müller dropped the centimetre frame labels for 2027, so a 45 cm is now Small, a 49 cm is Medium, a 53 cm is Large and a 58 cm is Extra Large. The frames themselves have not changed, only the names.

• Small: riders 1.60 to 1.75 m (approx 5'3" to 5'9")
• Medium: riders 1.70 to 1.85 m (approx 5'7" to 6'1")
• Large: riders 1.80 to 1.95 m (approx 5'11" to 6'5")
• Extra Large: riders 1.95 to 2.10 m (approx 6'5" to 6'11")

Full geometry, what each measurement means, and what to do if you are between two sizes: https://ebikeist.com/pages/riese-muller-frame-size-guide#charger5

Between two sizes, or not sure? Call us on 03330 151 979 or email hello@ebikeist.com with your height, your inside leg and what you ride now. We size people on real bikes every week, and we would rather work it out with you than have you order from a table.

Deposit: 10% of your order value, taken at checkout.

Fully refundable until you confirm. Your deposit is refundable right up to the moment you confirm the final specification with us. If you change your mind before then, you get it back.

Balance: due once your bike is built and before it is delivered or collected.

Our review call or email: within one working day (Tuesday to Friday) we go through sizing, drivetrain, battery, display, brakes, racks, tyres and any accessories with you.

Changes before confirmation: change anything, or cancel altogether. Your deposit is refunded if you decide not to go ahead.

After confirmation: we place the order with the factory and keep you updated through to build, checks and handover. If anything changes materially at the factory end, we will talk through the alternatives with you, including cancelling.

Lead time: we confirm an estimated delivery window before placing the factory order, and tell you if any option you have chosen extends it.

Delivery: your bike is fully built and checked at our workshop at Little Dartmouth, then delivered free throughout England and Wales, or collected from us by appointment.

These bikes are built to order. When you place an order, Riese & Müller build that exact bike for you: your frame size, your drivetrain, your colour, your options. It is not picked off a shelf and it cannot be sold to somebody else if the order falls through.

The deposit confirms that build slot with the factory and lets us commit to it on your behalf. It is 10% of the order value, and it is fully refundable until you confirm the final specification with us, which is a conversation, not a form.

It also buys you our time. Between your order and the factory order going in, we go through the whole build with you: whether the size is right, whether the drivetrain suits your riding, what you need fitted and what you do not. Most people change something at that stage, and there is no charge for it.

If you would rather talk before paying anything at all, call us on 03330 151 979. We are happy to spec a bike with you and send you a quotation instead.
