Nevo5 key features

A frame built for adventure

The Nevo5 has the lowest step-over height in the Riese & Müller range: 43.5 cm, and the same on every frame size, because the opening is built to a fixed height rather than growing with the frame.

If getting a leg over a saddle is the thing standing between you and enjoying riding, this is where to start.

Effortless Charging

The battery is fully integrated into the downtube on every Nevo5. Which one you get depends on the specification: a Bosch PowerTube 540 Wh on the CORE builds, 720 Wh on the vario CORE, 600 or 800 Wh on the Bosch mid-range, or a FIT TubePack 800 Wh on the Pinion builds.

Real range depends on terrain, load, weather and how much help you ask for, so treat any single number carefully. Tell us how far you ride and we will tell you which battery is enough.

All-Weather Confidence

Full-length mudguards, Supernova lighting front and rear, and a frame designed around the assumption that you will ride it in the rain rather than wait for a dry Saturday.

It is a bike for the commute, the school run and the shopping, in February as much as in June.

Carry More, Connect More

The integrated carrier uses the MIK HD system, so a basket, a box or a child seat clips on and locks off in seconds. Extra struts take panniers. The rack is rated to 27 kg and the gross vehicle weight is 160 kg.

The RX Chip is a £120 option on the Nevo5, and worth considering: location tracking, a motion alarm and automatic ride logging, all from your phone, with a year of ConnectCare Free.

The Small frame runs an 80 mm fork where the other three run 100 mm. Wheelbase and overall length read fractionally longer on Medium than on Large: the head angle steepens from 67 to 68 degrees at that boundary, which pulls the front wheel back. Both are R&M figures, captured twice.

Riese & Müller Nevo5 FAQs

Everyday riding: the commute, the school run, the shopping and the weekend potter. It has the lowest step-over height Riese & Müller make at 43.5 cm, and it is the most accessible way into the brand.

It is also the widest range they build: ten specifications from £4,029 to £7,799 RRP, so the same frame covers a first e-bike and a fully specified Rohloff.

43.5 cm, and the same on every frame size. That is unusual: on most bikes the step-over height grows with the frame, so a taller rider on a bigger frame gets a higher step. On the Nevo5 the opening is built to a fixed height, so you get the same easy step whichever size fits you.

Ten, and they fall into three groups:

  • CORE builds (silent CORE, rücktritt CORE, vario CORE): the Bosch Performance Line motor, a 540 or 720 Wh battery, and simple hub gearing with a belt. The rücktritt is new for 2027 and has a coaster brake, so you can brake by back-pedalling.
  • Mid-range (touring, vario, automatic, vario HS): the Bosch CX motor with more power and a bigger battery. The automatic changes gear for you.
  • Top builds (pinion, rohloff): sealed gearbox or hub gearing, very little maintenance, for high mileage.

Not sure? Ring us on 03330 151 979. It is the question we answer most.

The Vario HS and Pinion HS assist up to 45 km/h (28 mph) instead of 25 km/h (15.5 mph). In the UK that makes them speed pedelecs rather than e-bikes, which means registration, insurance and a licence, and they cannot be used on cycle paths.

They are also not approved to tow anything, where the 25 km/h models tow all three trailer types. Call us before ordering one.

The touring, vario, automatic and rohloff use Bosch's Performance Line CX, which ships at 100 Nm and reaches 120 Nm through Bosch's Performance Upgrade. It is a software update you apply yourself in the Bosch eBike Flow app, so there is no workshop visit and nothing to fit.

The CORE builds use the quieter Bosch Performance Line, and the Pinion builds use the Pinion MGU, which puts motor and gearbox in one sealed unit.

The gross vehicle weight rating is 160 kg and the maximum rider weight is 125 kg. The rear rack takes 27 kg on the MIK HD system, and a handlebar bag or basket takes 5 kg. A child seat on the carrier is approved.

On the 25 km/h models the Nevo5 is approved for single-wheel trailers, two-wheel trailers and tagalong trailer bikes. None of them are approved on the HS models. Frame size makes no difference to any of these figures.

On the Nevo5 it is a £120 option, not standard. That is different from the rest of the Riese & Müller range for 2027, where it is fitted as standard.

It gives you location tracking, a motion alarm and automatic ride logging from your phone, with a year of ConnectCare Free. If you leave the bike in town regularly it is worth having, and it has to be specified at order.

Riese & Müller offer the Nevo5 in Small, Medium, Large and Extra Large, replacing the old 40, 45, 50 and 55 cm labels. The frames have not changed, only the names.
