Riese & Müller mark 25th anniversary with special-edition ebike models

German ebike manufacturer Riese & Müller has announced plans to bring a host of new models to North America in 2018, expanding its offerings in the expanding electric bike market. The new options include an affordable new commuter, an e-cargo bike, and a special edition built to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the company.

The new Roadster model looks to set new standards in terms of weight and performance from a Riese & Müller ebike. It features a minimalist design that is coupled with a new, lightweight Bosch Active Plus motor and a Gates belt drive. The bike’s design also incorporates thinner frame tubes and just two struts, all of which help to reduce its overall weight to 44 pounds. The Roadster has mudguards on both the front and back tires and an optional front carrier makes it easier for commuters to carry small amounts of cargo. Available in three frame sizes and colors (matte black, white, and electric green), the bike will go on sale in October for $3,879.

E-cargo bikes have become a popular segment of the market in recent months, and while they are great for hauling around a lot of gear, not everyone appreciates their larger size and weight. Riese & Müller struck a compromise in this area by introducing the Packster 40, a bike that delivers plenty of cargo space, but on a more manageable and agile frame. The Packster 40 is just 6 feet in length and tips the scales at under 66 pounds, which is 13 pounds less than H&M’s Packster 60 model. The bike’s front cargo space is large enough to carry a child (safety seats are an option) and comes with a built-in secure storage compartment. Unlike most other e-cargo bikes, this model will actually fit on many car racks as well, further extending its usefulness. Options abound on the Packster 40, which will become available in September starting at $5,829.

Also new for 2018 is the limited edition Delite GT signature. Built to celebrate the company’s 25th anniversary, this model was made to the exacting standards of H&M’s founders Markus Riese and Heiko Müller, who spared no expense in its construction. The Delite GT uses top-of-the-line components from Bosch, Syntace, and Fox Factory, including a Kashima coating, Shimano XTR Di2 gears, and high-grade disc brakes. Each bike produced is numbered and comes with a certificate of authenticity signed by Riese and Müller themselves. Available in signature black, the Delite GT sells for $11,099.

Be ready for storm season: Dual fuel portable generator is $150 off today
Pulsar dual fuel portable generator with gas can in background

Unless you've been living under a rock, you know that a ton of early Black Friday deals have dropped. There are the usual suspects like laptops, electronics, gaming gear, and beyond. But me, I prefer to pick up unusual items during the huge holiday sales. You know exactly what I mean, the kind of stuff that doesn't usually go on sale any other time. One of those items is a portable generator. Where I live it seems like they rarely go on sale, and when you need them most they're never in stock. People flock to the stores to buy them just before a big storm. Well, right now, Pulsar and Walmart have an incredible deal on a 12,000-watt dual-fuel generator. Normally $900 it's down to $749 which saves you $151. It can run for up to 12 hours on an 8-gallon fuel tank.
