New Charger and Supercharger not coming to U.S. (edit- possibly mid 2018)

[Over50]

I heard from a little bird that US Dealers will start accepting Super Charger orders in March.

Did the bird tell you if this includes the New Charger?

So we don’t have much “official news” until March 1st, but I believe that same birdy might have mentioned the New Charger is included feel free to reach out for the unofficial report.

The little bird did not directly sing that song but from context, yes.

I'm happy to report that the New Charger and Supercharger are now officially available in the US.

R&M didn't publish them on their website yet, but I posted some links below if you want to check out the US spec's and pricing:

Riese & Müller Supercharger
Riese & Müller New Charger
Riese & Müller New Charger Mixtie

I am pumped!!! R&M initially had the New Charger & Supercharger listed on their website with a December 2017 release date. Then everything disappeared and I learned that R&M was waiting upon UL certification. I decided months ago that the New Charger HS, GT, Nuvinci (Sorry, if I did not get the name right.) with the dual battery option was the e-bike for me. I like the idea of the powertube battery on the downtube in conjunction with the standard Bosch 500 powerpack. With this configuration, I think the additional battery does not have to be attached all the time. It would only be necessary for longer rides! Therefore, I would have a more stealthy e-bike when only using the powertube. Please tell me if I am right? How soon before I can place my order?

That is correct. You can easily remove the battery when you don’t need it and just run off the Powertube. We started taking orders last week, but we started submitting them with R&M today. Give the shop a call and we’ll be happy to assist 718-643-4542
