Interesting...you'd easily do the roundtrip on less than half a battery! About €0.10c worth of electricity! Park the bike below and bring the battery up to the office. You can also bring up the display which immobilises the motor I believe. Happy bike shopping, check out the team at GreenAer, they're really helpful. Thanks for the comment Donall!

Thanks for this review, just received my high speed charger 4. Its amazing.

An excellent practical real life test.

Thanks! Great to get that kind of feedback!

Great video.. best I've seen on this model so far. Thank you.😊 Fully agree regarding improving the infrastructure for bicycles. That said, your ride seemed to have nicer cycle paths than most of GB. Well done Eire! Hope to get a R&M Charger 4 as live out in the sticks and am post double lung transplant.

Great video. I am browsing Greenaer at the moment. I am thinking of swapping out the car for one of these. I only have a 20km round trip for work.

Great video. really surprised at the range on this!

Thanks Mack! p.s. my lunch was boring unfortunately!

I'm really impressed by this bike. I weigh about 105kg, but so far (1000km in), I'm using roughly 0.8% of battery per km. My last ride was 52km and I had 60% left, the one before that was 30km and I had 73% left, even though I was riding into pretty serious headwind for 15 of those kilometers or so.

Very impressive metrics. I’m assuming eco mode all the way.

Very long distance 🎉🎉 There is a biker in Taiwan who tested out a brand new Merida Espresso 600 eq, went for 160+km and when he reached to his destination, he still have 5-6% left. Riese & Müller Supercharger 4 is a superior bike than Merida, so it is believable.

Yeah, extremely capable machine. There is another model with 2 batteries for even more range! Thanks for the comment Kenneth!

I just bought last year's Charger 3 which has a 625 wh battery. Total range is estimated at 100 km but I'm assuming, based on your real-world test of the C4 that only in Eco mode. Still more than enough though and the C3 allows you to add a second battery which the C4 doesn't. Thanks for the review.

Yeah, I think you're right Christopher. There's so much to consider in terms of working out range: speed, terrain, mode, wind , etc. But as long as people understand that there is a variance then they can work it out. The C3 was a solid choice, well done! Thanks for the comment, and glad you enjoyed the video!

Great review, what's your in car commute time? What about combining trams with ebike? Thanks!

That same trip would be 40 mins absolute best, but that includes paying about €5 on tolls. Leaving at a similar time as in this video, probably 1hr 15mins, and up to about 2 hours at rush hour! Best solution would probably be train to the city, but getting the bike on at rush hour could be an issue. Thanks for the comment!

Hi, Great video. I want to swith my old bike for something like this. Could you tell me how does this "belt" behavior in winter. I dont know what is better belt oraz chain. I drive to work all year and this is very imprtant info for me. Can you help to make a right decision?

Surprising range. Not sure I quite believe it unless you did most of the work. It would be a more telling test if it was the kind that could run with pedal power.

I definitely did not do most of the work. It was just above 20 degrees Celsius and I didn't break a bead of sweat! I was also very pleasantly surprised with the range. You should take one out for a test some time to experience it!

@@evplatform You were doing 20km/h? that's a fairly casual speed that a person can pedal without sweating. say you did 50% of the work, that's very significant for range. Only a pedal free test can be really telling unless your input can be measured.

Range is accurate. If in doubt get a second battery which is available on most of the Riese& Müller range. I have a SuperDelite. You could look at the Homage or the Nevo3 which are both perfectly good alternatives. These are the best ebikes that you’ll find out there wrt equipment, comfort, quality and durability.

@@DanFrederiksen the Bosch software will tell you how much work you put in and how much was the motor across your journey. I typically like to get my heart rate up to 150-160 but you can use the Turbo mode if you want a more sedate ride. Once you ride one of these ebikes you want to ride all day, it’s that much fun!!

@@DanFrederiksen I have this bike, he definitely did not do half of the work. I use the eco setting (lowest out of 4) almost 70% of the time, and IMO, if you're in tour (2nd level) or above, you're not doing much, unless you're facing terrible headwinds. He also used a lot more battery than I do on average. In days with low winds, 2bft or less, I can easily reach 130km on one charge. I'm 1000km in and haven't even used the turbo setting so far, and even sport I've only used for 24km so far, and that was during an awful storm where I had to ride against a 6bft wind with no cover, and the bike still made it possible to go 23/24kmh without having to resort to the highest support level.

Hmmm...tone is tricky to pick up on in the comments section sometimes. So I'm going to assume this is a witty, good-willed jab at me! Hope you enjoyed the video anyway!

I love the features on this bike, but it's too expensive for what it can accomplish. For that same money you can buy a Vespa. A Vespa will give you 70 miles/gallon, and you can do 50+miles/ hours, no problem. A bike like this will need to be around $3000 to make sense. There are "lower end" e-bikes you can get below $3000, I know. Reise and Muller needs to be cheeper for me to consider....

If you get the homage full suspension and put a volspeed v4 to make it go 28mph you will come to this conclusion " I haven't lived!"

Yeah, I had a 10 minute shot on one of those a few weeks ago, madness! Hoping to do another video on higher speed bikes soon! Thanks for the comment Paul, hope you enjoyed the video!

A 2x50km commute per day is simply unrealistic. That takes way too much time. I did a 2x10km commute, 6 days per week, for one and a half years. That went extremely well. Except for torrential downpours or temperatures below 8 degrees I used my ebike every day. Distance wise I could have managed 2x15km as well and I think the maximum for a realistic daily commute would be between 15 and 20km per day.
