Riese & Muller Load5 60
The Agile Electric Cargo Bike Built for Canadian Families — 2026 Riese & Müller Load5 60
The 2026 Riese & Müller Load5 60 is the more compact sibling in the fifth-generation Load family, and for many Canadian riders it is the better fit. With a 60 cm front cargo bed, full active suspension throughout, and the same Bosch Cargo Line motor that powers its larger counterpart, it delivers everything that makes the Load platform exceptional in a slightly shorter, more nimble package that handles tighter urban streets, bike lanes, and neighbourhood paths with exceptional ease. If your family has up to two young children and you want a cargo bike that feels genuinely agile rather than just manageable, the Load5 60 is where that balance is found. Available through Scooteretti, a certified Riese & Müller authorized dealer based in Ottawa, with free shipping to every province across Canada.
The Same Full Suspension Platform, in a More Manoeuvrable Size
Everything that defines the Load5 75 mechanically is present on the Load5 60. Riese & Müller's Control Technology provides full active suspension at three points simultaneously: the SR Suntour Mobie 34 CGO Boost front fork with 80 mm of travel, the X-Fusion Glyde rear shock on the swing arm, and the co-sprung luggage carrier that moves in sync with the rear suspension so cargo and passengers absorb road imperfections the same way the wheels do. The frame is built from aluminium with 25 percent recycled content and carries a gross vehicle weight rating of 200 kg. The adjustable stem accommodates riders from 1.50 m to 2.00 m, making it a genuinely shared-use bike for households where multiple adults ride.
Standard Dropper Seatpost for 2026
New for the 2026 model year, the dropper seatpost is standard on every Load5 60 configuration. Lower the saddle at stops for full ground contact and stability when the cargo box is loaded, then ride at full leg extension on the open road. It is a practical upgrade that makes a noticeable difference every time you stop at a light or pull up at a school.
Bosch Cargo Line Power and Up to 1,600 Wh of Range
The Load5 60 is powered by the Bosch Cargo Line Smart System motor, delivering up to 100 Nm of torque and 400 percent pedal assistance in Cargo mode. The motor starts smoothly under load and adjusts responsively to your cadence, whether you are pulling away from a stop sign on a hill or settling into a long flat commute. The standard configuration ships with a Bosch PowerPack Frame 725 Wh battery, upgradeable to 800 Wh, and the optional DualBattery system brings total capacity to 1,600 Wh for riders who need extended range, particularly relevant for longer Canadian commutes and cold-weather riding where battery efficiency naturally decreases.
Up to Two Children and a 60 cm Cargo Bed
The Load5 60 cargo box comfortably accommodates up to two children up to age seven with appropriate child seats and five-point safety harnesses. It handles a full week of groceries, sports equipment, and daily cargo with equal ease. For families who do not need the three-child capacity of the Load5 75, the Load5 60 offers a slightly shorter overall length of 248 cm that is noticeably easier to navigate in tighter urban environments while retaining the same fundamental load-carrying capability.
Modular Accessory System
The Load5 60 shares the same accessory ecosystem as the Load5 75. Child seats, weather canopy with UV-protective tinted TPU film panels, dog kit, cargo sidewalls, and cargo covers are all available and interchangeable. The modular design allows fast reconfiguration between family and cargo use without tools.
Three Drivetrain Options to Match Your Riding Style
Touring:
The Shimano CUES 11-speed derailleur with steel chain is the most familiar setup for riders moving from conventional bikes, with a wide gear range and straightforward servicing.
Vario:
The Enviolo continuously variable hub gear paired with a Gates Carbon Belt Drive offers stepless, twist-grip shifting and near-zero chain maintenance. Scooteretti's most recommended configuration for year-round Canadian commuters, particularly in winter when chain care becomes a genuine burden.
Rohloff:
The Rohloff E-14 electronically controlled 14-speed hub with Gates Carbon Belt Drive is the most durable and long-service drivetrain available on the Load5 60. Built to cover tens of thousands of kilometres with minimal maintenance in all weather conditions.
Safety on Every Stop
The Load5 60 is available with two advanced braking options. The optional Bosch eBike ABS prevents front wheel lockup under hard braking using wheel speed sensors, reducing the risk of tipping even on wet or loose surfaces. The optional Magura Integrated Braking System automatically distributes braking force across both wheels when the rear lever is engaged, reducing stopping distances by up to 40 percent without any electronics or power source. Supernova integrated lighting runs off the main battery with main and dipped beam front and an integrated brake light at the rear.

Premium Cargo Accessories
Elevate your eBiking experience with the Bosch Kiox 500 – the ultimate cycling companion designed to empower and inspire. With its sleek and robust design, the Kiox 500 seamlessly integrates with your bike, offering a clear and crisp color display that provides essential ride data at a glance. Stay connected via Bluetooth to your smartphone, access fitness tracking, navigation, and heart rate monitoring, all while keeping your hands on the handlebars. Designed for the adventurous and the everyday rider alike, the Kiox 500 ensures that every journey becomes an immersive and dynamic exploration.
The Bosch PowerPack 800 is the standard battery on the Load5 60, and it sets a strong baseline for what daily riding on this bike actually feels like. With 800 Wh of energy capacity, it sits as the most powerful frame battery in the Bosch smart system lineup and is mounted externally on the frame at a low centre of gravity, which keeps the bike balanced and predictable whether you are loaded or riding light. A full charge takes approximately 6.9 hours with the 4A charger, or you can top it to 50 percent in around 2.6 hours if you just need a quick top-up between uses. The battery is designed for serious longevity too: Bosch's smart system batteries retain approximately 80 percent of their original capacity after 1,000 charging cycles, which at an average weekly riding distance works out to over a decade of use before any meaningful degradation. For Canadian riders who want even more range, particularly those dealing with longer commutes, colder temperatures, or hilly terrain, the Load5 60 supports Bosch's DualBattery system, which pairs a second compatible battery alongside the PowerPack 800 to bring total capacity up to 1,600 Wh. The battery is also compatible with Bosch's digital Battery Lock feature, which ties the battery to your account and renders it unusable if removed by anyone other than you.
For riders who want to go further without thinking about it, the Load5 60 supports the Bosch DualBattery system, which pairs a second PowerPack 800 alongside the standard battery to bring total capacity to 1,600 Wh. That is enough for ranges of up to 312 km between charges depending on terrain, load, and assist level, which effectively removes range as a daily consideration for the vast majority of Canadian riders. Both batteries charge conveniently on or off the bike, and the system manages energy draw across both units automatically so you never have to think about which battery is in use. As with all Bosch smart system batteries, the PowerPack 800 meets UL safety certification standards, so the investment is backed by the kind of rigorous third-party testing you would expect from a manufacturer with Bosch's reputation. For anyone using the Load5 60 as a genuine car replacement in Canada, whether that means long commutes, cold weather riding where battery efficiency naturally drops, or simply loaded daily use across hilly terrain, the DualBattery upgrade is the single most impactful configuration choice you can make.
The optional Bosch eBike ABS uses wheel speed sensors to continuously monitor rotation during braking, automatically modulating brake pressure if the front wheel is about to lock under hard or sudden braking. On a loaded cargo bike, where extra weight and a higher centre of gravity make front wheel lockup more consequential than on a standard bicycle, this is a meaningful safety upgrade. The system also includes rear wheel lift control to reduce the risk of the back wheel leaving the ground during extreme stops, and it performs consistently across the surfaces Canadian riders encounter most, from wet urban pavement and gravel paths to painted road markings and fallen leaves. Where the Magura IBS is a mechanical system that links front and rear brake force distribution, the Bosch ABS focuses electronically on preventing front wheel lockup. Our team at Scooteretti is happy to help you decide which option is the better fit for how and where you ride.
The optional Magura Integral Braking System is a purely mechanical hydraulic upgrade that automatically applies proportional braking force to the front wheel whenever the rear brake lever is engaged. Most everyday riders rely almost entirely on the rear brake, which leaves significant stopping performance on the table. The Magura IBS corrects this without any electronics or power source, distributing force across both wheels with a single hand and reducing stopping distances by up to 40 percent compared to rear-only braking. That figure was independently verified by DEKRA in blind testing on cargo bikes. Brake pad and rotor wear is also shared more evenly across both wheels, extending maintenance intervals over time. For Canadian riders dealing with wet pavement, gravel, and variable road conditions year-round, it is one of the most practical safety additions available on the Load5 60.
Bosch chargers are handy, lightweight and robust. The housings are designed without vents to protect the chargers from dirt and grime.
With the 2A Compact Charger or the 4A Standard Charger, Bosch has developed two models that will charge your eBike quickly and reliably. All chargers are certified to UL 1012 & CSA 107.2. and can recharge a battery from empty in as little as 3.5hrs!
Just want a partial charge? Bosch ebike batteries can be charged even for a short time if desired, regardless of their charge level.
