Riese & Müller Packster
Riese & Müller Packster
The Packster is the magna cum laude of front loaders, sporting features and options that keep it at the top of the class. Riese & Müller might not be your first eBike - probably your last though.
A uniquely low step over cockpit, quick adjustable stem/seat height to accommodate any sized rider & for sharing.
An upright comfortable posture for a commanding view, 80cm is very long but responsive and stable, with larger tires, a 50 mm suspension fork and seatpost for city bumps.
A wide center stand that's easy to deploy, stable when extended - a critical feature in any cargo bike - and it doesn't scrape when cornering.

Front loaders rule for family time on the road - having kids up front (rather than in back like many family bikes) means a sense of more security & intimacy,
So the Packster is not the cheapest front-loader - where Riese & Muller stands out from the pack of boxier/bucket front loaders is that the Packster can fit much shorter pilots (but still a stiff frame) - and you can fit up to 4 small kids onboard with the 80cm box. Or even larger kids/tiny adults other bikes would struggle to fit The Packster has a comparatively limited turning radius, but a noticeably narrower box that fits through tighter squeezes.
Another essential upgrade is suspension - with total loaded weights of 350lbs+ on a rigid, potholes and bumps will leave a bad impression on both passengers and pilot.
Integrated Busch & Müller lights front & rear - the front light is smartly on the fork so it tracks into your turns, significant on such a long bike, Weighs 80lbs
