The Riese & Müller Load4 75 is the brand new sibling of the ever-popular Load 75. Another quality eCargo bike, the Load4 75 is great for carrying firewood, camping gear, beers and dogs. And you can always add child seats too for ferrying kids or grandkids around. The Load4 75 is also the slightly larger version of it’s eCargo cousin, the Load4 60.
“But what’s the difference between the Load and the Load4?” we hear you cry! Simply put; the Load4 comes with the Bosch SmartSystem and the Load 75 doesn’t. Due to this, the Load4 doesn’t have DualBattery or Rohloff options, but you do have a larger single battery that you can upgrade to – so it’s really down to personal preference.
As with the aforementioned Load4 60, there are plenty of additional extras to choose from for your 75. For the front carrier you can choose from high and low sidewalls; tarpaulins and hard covers; a glove compartment and child seats and rain covers. The additional ABUS chain lock extension is also handy if you need to secure the bike while you’re not riding it.
While you can’t get DualBattery with the Load4 75, you can choose an option upgrade to 725Wh. If that’s still not enough, you can always purchase a spare to pop in your bag for those longer rides.
And if you’re planning off-road trips the GX pack is a must-have as it includes all-terrain Schwalbe Smart Sam Plus tyres and flat tyres for extra grip. I’d also go for the high side walls and tarpaulin so you can carry all your extra camping gear without toppling over.
What would I recommend? Well, I love adventure riding, so I’d choose the Load4 75 touring – it has plenty of low gears for fully laden hill climbing.
