    An E-bike With A Quiet Motor

    Hi all! I need an e-bike for touring over days or weeks, so fitted with a battery with a long life. Today, I've just tested the Riese and Muller Charger 4. It's an excellent bike, I loved it, apart from one thing: the noise of its Bosch Gen4 CX motor. I don't think I can get used to it. So...
