Meet Riese & Müller's quiet achiever, the Culture Silent. Clean looks, zero fuss, and a smooth, silent ride thanks to the belt drive and Bosch’s lightweight SX motor. Built for everyday city riding - with way less maintenance and way more style.
✅ What we love about it
It lives up to the name - Silent. No clicking gears, no chain slap. It might be electric, but the motor and assist quickly fade into the background - what's left is just the smooth, quiet joy of simply riding a bike.
Design-wise, it’s clean and understated. Where other e-bikes can look cluttered with cables and bulky components, the Culture keeps things simple and sleek. If you’ve got an eye for aesthetics, it’s an easy one to fall for.
From a practical point of view, anyone who’s owned a chain-driven e-bike knows the maintenance costs can add up. The belt drive on the Culture Silent is rated for 10,000 km - and in our experience, that holds up. Hate lubing your chain, or sometimes forget like the rest of us? No need with a belt - phew!
We appreciate the careful selection of components - not just for performance, but for durability. It’s an investment upfront, sure, but one that’ll pay off with years of low-maintenance riding.
Perfect for city riders chasing a refined, low-fuss commuter with style, comfort, and quiet efficiency.
