The Packster2 70 is Riese & Müller’s revision of the family cargo bike, having made several leaps forward in design and function. The frame design has a large and deep cargo bed, giving ample elbow and leg-room to the kids. The bike's ergonomics and aesthetics are streamlined by the incorporation of internal cable-routing. The Packster2 70 features a rigid aluminum frame and comes with a front suspension fork with 80mm of travel. You can also opt for their "Control Technology Package," which adds rear suspension for an even cushier ride. Some other components worth highlighting are the quick-release adjustable stem, which allows riders of different heights to raise or lower the handlebars with ease--an ideal feature for families. The seatpost height of the Packster2 is also easily adjustable with a quick release lever.

The double-walled and eyeletted alloy rims give the bike a stout foundation, especially when paired with durable Schwalbe tires.  The hydraulic disc brakes provide optimum stopping power even in slippery conditions with heavy loads. Riese & Müller has outfitted the Packster2 70 with a Gates CDX Carbon Belt Drive for the quietest and lowest-maintenance drive train available. Add to that the Enviolo Automatic N380 Continuously Variable Transmission gear hub and you have a family cargo bike that incorporates the most advanced and convenient 21st century technology.

Bosch provides the motor, display, and battery--the entire e-system--for the Packster2 70. It comes with Bosch’s Cargo Line motor--the most powerful eBike motor ever produced by Bosch. This motor provides 85Nm of torque and up to 400% pedal assistance. The Packster2 70 is a Class 1 eBike, meaning its motor provides assistance only while the rider is pedaling, and will stop providing assistance once the bike’s speed reaches 20 mph. The Packster2 70 is equipped with Bosch's Smart System, which enables functionality such as GPS tracking, an alarm, and an eBike lock that disables the e-system.

The Packster2 70 can pack a whopping 1500Wh-worth of batteries. Housed in the base of the storage box to keep the center of gravity low and stable, the DualBattery option gives the Packster2 70 a range that can outlast virtually any other family cargo bike. This bike comes with a single Bosch Powertube 750 Wh battery. It is DualBattery ready to accommodate the addition of a second 750 Wh Bosch Powertube battery. This choice lets the rider select the battery option which will give them the range they desire, to span the city, the suburb, and beyond, even with cargo. Our in-stock Packster2 70 is equipped with the dual battery set up (1500Wh).

The cargo box on the Packster2 70 is constructed from EPP (expanded polypropylene) foam, a lightweight material superior to the common EPS (expanded polystyrene) in regard to its environmental impact. The standard double child seat is made of 100% recycled material, features 5-point seat-belts, and can accommodate two children up to 10 years old, or one occupant up to 5’5” tall (1.65m). Riese & Müller also manufactures a reclined, rear-facing baby seat as an option, as well as an auxiliary child seat which mounts in the front of the cargo box, facing the other two occupants, allowing for a total of 3 passengers. A rear cargo rack is included, as well as a rain canopy complete with windows to keep passengers dry.
