Riese & Müller urban bikes
The Riese & Müller UBN models have a slim design especially for an ebike. As you may expect from Riese & Müller both UBN models have a high-end design. Besides the new design philosophy, new colours and a new integrated drive train make the UBN bikes an exciting category in the R&M e-bike portfolio. For the new aluminium frames flat welded and grinding techniques are used which results in beautiful lines of the frames. Also, new colours give the UBN bikes a new look. The UBN five has a black matt and a new selva colour. For the UBN seven pure white and rose are the colours of choice.
UBN five and UBN seven
The UBN five and UBN seven not only have a new compact drive train is also have new connectivity available. To start with the drive train, the Fazua Ride 60 drive is a 4kg package that includes a motor, removable battery, LED hub and controller. All with weight in mind, but also compact and minimalistic. The Fazua has a motor with a 60Nm torque and 430Wh removable battery. Thanks to the new Fazua motor and connectivity, Riese & Müller has added extra functionality to the Riese & Müller mobile app. You can use your phone to control the settings of the bicycle and switch on and off the alarm. The integrated rear light and front light are part of the minimalistic design just like internal cable routing.
For both UBN five and UBN seven models, there is a full suspension option available but also the comfort handlebar and grips. SP Connect is used to add your smartphone to the handlebar which results in a portable dashboard. Want to carry some cargo with you? The integrated pannier rack can carry two 7.5 kilo bags at the rear of the bike.
