- Front loader e-cargo bikes are the perfect combo of joy and practicality. They make carrying your kiddos, running errands, commuting, and bike-packing an absolute delight! German company, Riese & Müller, builds the cream of the crop front loaders with tons of custom options to deck out your dream ride to suit your needs. We’re here to help you chose between their two offerings, the Packster and Load series, so let’s dive in!
1. Packster Series - The Packster 70 offers a balance between cargo capacity and maneuverability. It's versatile enough to handle urban commuting, grocery shopping, and family outings. If you’re looking for a spacious, 100% recyclable cargo area and good maneuverability, the Packster is an excellent choice.
Bonus! The Packster Automatic model offers the Enviolo automatic shift system, a game-changing technology if you don't want to anticipate shifting gears ever again!
2. Load Series - Whether you go for the Load 60 or the extended cargo area of the Load 75, you'll enjoy perfect handling in every situation. The maneuverability and agility is so outstanding that you never feel like you’re on an e-cargo bike! Its low center of gravity, sleek cargo box, and streamlined design will be turning heads anywhere you take it - tarmac, forest trails or gravel roads.
3. How to choose?! When deciding between the Packster and Load series, consider the following:
Terrain: Think about the type of terrain you'll ride on. If you'll frequently encounter rough roads or want a more comfortable ride, opt for the Load series with its standard full suspension or upgrade to the “Control Technology Package” to get full suspension on your Packster. You can also upgrade to the "GX Option" for knobby tires for more grip on either e-cargo bike!
Speed: If you're on the hunt for a Class 3 e-bike that assists up to 28 mph, you'll want to choose one of the Load "HS" models with the Cargo Line Speed system. The Packster models are available in Class 1 20 mph Cargo Line Cruise systems.
Ultimately, the choice between the Packster and Load series depends on your specific needs and preferences. Whichever series you choose, you'll reap all the benefits that riding an e-cargo bike that can bring to your daily adventures!

Why is RM so expensive? The Cube Cargo has basically the same parts (Enviolo, Cargo line Bosch motor, suspension, disc brakes, 1000Wh battery) yet costs half. We drove 10000km, and almost everything has needed repair except the enviolo (the clips to hold the cables did break). Worst repair was a new Bosch motor because the light switch transistors on the main board of the motor corroded. We had new brake blocks, welded a broken stand, new tires, chain replacement, new spokes, the pedals are worn-out. Having a cargo bike here in the Netherlands demands some joy in maintanance, as the stores won't service it. So maybe RM is premium because they offer excellent on-site repair withing 2 year warranty? No idea.
