The Nevo5

Everyday pioneer, unmistakable from across the street. The Riese & Müller Nevo5 is a premium low step-through e-bike designed for riders who want maximum comfort without sacrificing performance. It’s easy to get on and off, stable at speed, and built to feel planted and predictable whether you’re cruising the waterfront, carving through city corners, or rolling out on long weekend rides.

The ride is calm and controlled thanks to a suspension fork, suspension seatpost, and an extremely rigid frame that stays steady when you’re carrying luggage or pushing the pace. Power comes from your choice of two systems: a Bosch motor with up to 100 Nm of torque, or the low-maintenance Pinion MGU for riders who want a more sealed, future-forward drivetrain.

Details are classic Riese & Müller: two-tone paint, polished welds where they’re visible, and a colour-matched aluminium battery cover. Charging is simple too — remove the battery or plug straight into the conveniently placed charging port on the top tube.

Comfortable, capable, and ready to carry

The Nevo5 is built for real-world transport. The MIK HD rear carrier lets you click in baskets or child seats in seconds, while additional struts keep panniers stable and secure. For riding year-round, visibility is top-tier: a high-performance headlight with main beam and dipped beam, plus a rear brake light, helps you see and be seen in all conditions.

When you stop, lock it down easily with the integrated frame lock and a solid lock chain. Optional Bosch eBike ABS adds extra confidence when braking, especially in wet weather or on loose surfaces.
