Distinct and Minimal
Riese & Müller's Culture is a great looking super minimal and lightweight pedal assist E-Bike boasting the latest technology from Bosch. A thoroughly modern style with distinctive design elements, such as the characteristic bend in the top tube, make the R&M Culture both unique and understated in its aesthetic.
Light Weight Power
The Culture features a newly developed drive system, the Bosch SX motor in conjunction with the CompactTube 400 battery. The Bosch SX is lightweight, runs especially quietly and the 55nm of assist guarantee a natural riding experience. Permanently mounting the battery in the down tube shaves additional weight but can be removed for maintenance, service or replacement if needed.
Responsible and Easy
Riding bikes, even e-bikes, is already pretty green but with 50% of the frame made of ASI-certified recycled aluminium, the Culture is even greener.
Using the R&M Culture is easy and straightforward thanks to the standard LED Remote; an SPC+ interface provides the option of attaching a smartphone. Alternatively you can opt for an optional Bosch display.
Custom Options
Three different frame heights and a host of safety and comfort equipment options make each and every R&M Culture a one-off customised bike. Both the R&M Culture and Culture Mixte can be configured with a Shimano 10-speed derailleur gear, 8-speed Nexus hub gear or continuous Enviolo hub gear (Nexus and Enviolo with Gates belt drive).
