Compare e-bikes side by side
12 comparisons, one verdict each
Two bikes side by side, by the people who ride both.
We stock every bike on this page and ride them on the lanes around the showroom, so when two of them are set side by side here it is by someone who has had both in the workshop, not two spec sheets. Each card gives you the short answer; the post has the long one.
Riese & Müller, bike against bike
4 comparisonsThe questions we get asked most in the showroom, because these bikes look alike on paper and ride differently.
R&M vs R&M
Charger5 vs Delite5 vs Superdelite5
Start with the Charger5 for roads, lanes and towpaths. The Delite5 earns its price on rough tracks and heavy loads, and the Superdelite5 is for the longest days.

Step-through
Nevo5 vs Charger5 Mixte
The Nevo5 for the easiest step-through and the lowest price into the range; the Charger5 Mixte for a sportier position and more gearing choice.

Cargo
Load5 60 vs Load5 75
The 60 for one or two children and tight storage. Buy the 75 because you know you will use the space, not just in case.

Gearing
Charger5 gearing: Touring vs Vario vs Rohloff vs Pinion
Nobody has sat in our workshop wishing they had bought less gearing. The regret only runs one way.

3 comparisonsWhere a Riese & Müller meets a bike from somewhere else, including one we sell ourselves.
Amflow vs R&M
Amflow TL Carbon vs Riese & Müller Charger5
The Amflow is lighter, cheaper and more powerful. The Charger5 is the bike you keep, maintain and ride for years.

Gazelle vs R&M
Nevo5 vs Gazelle Avignon
The Gazelle is outstanding value for smooth town riding. The Nevo5's extra money buys suspension, tyres, security and gearing options.

Nicolai vs R&M
Delite5 GT Pinion vs Nicolai Saturn 16 MGU
Two bikes built around the Pinion MGU: the Delite5 for touring comfort and a configurator full of options, the Saturn 16 for a more rugged, mountain-bike build.

1 comparisonWe are one of a handful of UK shops that sells both, so this one is written from the workshop floor.
Motors
2 comparisonsThe motor decides the battery, the display and the gearing you can have, so it is the first choice, not the last.
Motor
Bosch Performance Line CX vs PX
Most of our customers choose the CX: every drivetrain, the 800 Wh battery, the range extender and 120 Nm. The PX is the way into the range at a lower price.

Motor
Bosch CX vs Pinion MGU
Bosch for ABS, over-the-air updates, a range extender and the widest gearing choice. Pinion for motor and gearbox in one sealed unit with almost nothing to maintain.

2 comparisonsBelt or chain, hub or derailleur, and what each one asks of you over the years.
Hub gears
Enviolo vs Rohloff
Both run a belt. The Enviolo for stepless, set-and-forget simplicity; the Rohloff for fourteen precise gears and the longest service life.
