Riese & Müller - Carrie

As versatile as your everyday life

The Carrie is a compact front loader with the largest-possible loading surface on as small a space as possible.

The Riese and Müller Carrie provides plenty of storage space, and you can effortlessly ride through narrow lanes and find a parking space almost anywhere.

Coming already with the Bosch’s smartsystem, it effortlessly takes you through everyday life and beyond.

SENTIMENTO E CONCEPÇÃO

The Carrie provides us as much agility as a regular bike, with a two-legged stand that can simply jack up the cargo bike and safely park it even with it fully loaded.

The optional Flex Box, when unfolded, provides a spacious loading area of 45 by 65cm, making it easy to carry various items. It can be paired with a child seat, allowing for the comfortable transport of one young passenger. Additionally, the child cover option ensures reliable protection from wind and weather.

This agile and compact model handles Porto's steep cobblestone streets quite well, providing parents with an option to see their kids all the time in front of them.

With its adjustable saddle height and angle- and height-adjustable stem, the seat position can be configured to accommodate riders from 1.50m to 2.00m tall, and sporty to comfortable riding preferences.

Opções de cores:

• Anise;

• Shadow;

• Aqua - which is the color of our test model.

UNIDADE DE CONDUÇÃO

Already with the new smart system, the Performance Line BOSCH Motor, provides the power needed to tackle steep inclines and challenging weather conditions.

In the context of Porto, having some assistance from the motor is always a welcome addition, enabling us to better navigate the constant ups and downs of the city.

With this motor, we can carry our kid or heavy cargo on the front without breaking a sweat.

Bateria

The Carrie comes equipped with a Bosch removable 545 Wh powerpack battery, making it ideal for replacing your car in busy urban areas. For extended range, you also have the option to upgrade to a 725 Wh battery.

Weighing approximately 3kg, having the possibility to remove the battery for charging elsewhere offers a more convenient approach, allowing you to take it with you and charge it wherever needed.

Mostrador - Centro de controlo inteligente

As standard your display will be the Purion 200. The upgrade for the Kiox 300 display is a better option for better visibility and functionality, as for example the use of the screen as a key to lock and unlock the alarm, which is why we do prefer this rather than the other optional display, the intuvia 100.

Conveniently use the LED Remote to select your riding mode: the colour indicates your selected riding mode.

VARIANTS - Transmissões

The Carrie can be paired with a Touring (cassete), City (cassete) or Vario (enviolo) transmissions.

In a city like Porto, where frequent stops and starts are common, the Enviolo gear system from the Vario variant proves to be fantastic, especially for riders who are not accustomed to shifting gears frequently.

Este sistema permite a mudança de velocidades mesmo quando a bicicleta está parada, o que é especialmente útil nas ruas acidentadas do Porto quando se espera pelo sinal verde.

O cubo de engrenagem interno aloja todos os componentes no interior da roda traseira, protegendo-os da sujidade e da chuva.

Em conjunto com a transmissão por correia Carbon, a Enviolo utiliza fibras de carbono de alta resistência para uma alternativa mais leve e sem manutenção. Ao contrário dos sistemas de cassetes tradicionais, a transmissão por correia com cubo de engrenagem interno reduz o risco de descarrilamento ou de mudanças defeituosas.

This model is also available with Microshift ADVENT X, 10-speed (Touring) and Shimano Nexus grip shift, 5-speed (City).

Sempre em segurança na estrada

The rear and front brakes are the two-piston Magura MT4, featuring carbon fiber construction for lighter weight and aluminum levers ergonomically designed for two-finger operation.

We can truly feel the quality and trust Magura for the safety of ourselves and our loved ones.

LUZES DIANTEIRAS E TRASEIRAS

Herrmans H-Black MR8 serves as the front light, thanks to its compact dimensions, offering the possibility of elegant installation.

Additionally, the Büchel Z-Fire Mini, is included as the tail light, with a minimalistic design.

PNEUS

As standard, at the front, you’ll get Schwalbe Big Ben Plus 55-406 Reflex, providing adequate traction and durability for urban riding conditions. On the rear, you will get the Schwalbe Super Moto-X 62-406.

Especificamente para o Porto, estes pneus são suficientemente largos e seguros para atravessar as ruas de calçada e evitar cair nos carris.

Se planeia circular principalmente em ciclovias, algumas ruas de paralelepípedos ou estradas pavimentadas, estes pneus oferecem o conforto de que necessita para circular de forma segura e confortável.

suspensão

The SR Suntour Mobie A32 CGO, 20", with an air amplitude of 50 millimeters, ensures great stability.

A sua rigidez pode ser ajustada manualmente na forqueta, sem necessidade de ferramentas especiais. Esta caraterística é particularmente apreciada nas ruas de calçada da baixa do Porto, onde a condução pode ser bastante desafiante.

Front RACK

You can carry up to two children in the front of the bike.

The Flex box is very handy and versatile, specially with the possibility of closing it when it’s not needed, saving space, and providing a more agile riding experience.

For younger passengers, the Flex Box can be paired with a child seat, allowing for the comfortable transport of one young passenger. Even though it’s meant for two, we felt that one is the proper way to go.

Additionally, the optional weather protection — the child seat cover, ensures passengers stay dry and cozy in all conditions.

ESTABILIDADE

The wide double kickstand on the Carrie provides great stability.

Get on the bike and push it off, and the kickstand will retract.
The opposite function occurs when you stop - placing our feet down on the kickstand and then just pull it back on to the stand.

Posição de assento ajustável

The Carrie adjustable stem and seatpost make it easy to customize the seat position for riders between 1.5 and 2m, allowing quick adjustments for different heights, and sporty to comfortable riding preferences.

Esta versatilidade torna-o perfeito para uma utilização quotidiana por famílias, agregados familiares ou grupos de amigos.

CONSIDERAÇÕES FINAIS

The Carrie is by far Riese & Müller’s most compact frontloader, with superb agility.

Recomendamo-la para casais com alturas significativamente diferentes que pretendam partilhar a E-bike, uma vez que inclui a possibilidade de ajustar o guiador para uma posição mais ou menos desportiva e também para uma altura mais ou menos elevada.

Although the Carrie can transport two kids in the front, we are more inclined to recommend taking only one — the Flex Box is relatively compact and smaller than we would like.

If you have only one small child and don't have a plan to have a larger family, Carrie might be a good fit, but there is nothing better than coming for a test ride. For bigger families, we have the Load and the Packster.
