Archive: Test: Riese & Müller Charger NuVinci HS

Ergonomics that make you feel good: The Charger is a commuter bike with a relaxed touring seating position, which, however, comes at the price of a lot of weight. The Cane Creek seat post and the air suspension fork ensure comfort on bad roads. The performance motor propels you up to 35 km/h, but you have to pedal hard up to 45. What feels like the stiffest bike in the test does everything - also because of the robust carrier. The handling: safe and harmonious with good directional stability - but the Charger is not manoeuvrable. The NuVinci transmission suits the commuter bike well: always exactly the right gear ratio, without gear jumps - but it doesn't really suit bumpy terrain. The belt drive complements perfectly! Thanks to the extensive everyday equipment a commuter professional!
