The Homage5
Riding on a cloud, with real-world muscle underneath. The Riese & Müller Homage5 is a premium low step-through, full-suspension e-bike built for riders who want maximum comfort, stability, and confidence day after day. It’s effortless to get on and off, beautifully planted at speed, and incredibly smooth on rough streets, chipseal, and longer rides out of town.
What makes the Homage feel so calm is Riese & Müller Control Technology — front suspension, a rear swing arm, and a co-sprung luggage carrier that keeps the whole bike composed even when you’re loaded up. New Zealand Homage5 models use the Bosch smart system with the Performance Line CX motor.
The design is unmistakable: the flowing frame line, fully integrated battery, and a carrier that feels like it’s part of the bike rather than an add-on. Add the dropper seatpost and you’ve got a bike that’s confident and comfortable in motion, and easy to manage when you’re stopping, starting, and hopping on and off around the city.
Comfort-first, built to carry
The Homage is made for everyday transport and longer touring. The integrated rear carrier is stable and versatile for panniers, baskets, and commuting gear, and the co-sprung design helps keep cargo steady over bumps. The Homage5 has an 800 Wh battery, with an optional 250 Wh range extender increasing total capacity to 1,050 Wh.
Safety is front and centre too. High-visibility lighting and premium braking options keep things controlled in all conditions, while optional Bosch eBike ABS adds extra confidence when braking hard, especially in wet weather or on loose surfaces.
