Riese & Müller make two of the most capable family cargo platforms on the market — Load5 and Packster2. Both are Bosch-powered, built in Germany, and designed to replace car trips. The right choice depends on how you load the bike, where you park it, and how you ride day to day.

Load5 — the long-tail all-rounder

Load5 uses a long-tail layout with flexible seating and cargo configurations — child seats, bags, boxes and adult passengers depending on spec. It feels more like a traditional bike to ride, with excellent stability when laden and a huge range of R&M accessories.

Choose Load5 if you want one bike for school runs, weekend adventures and occasional adult passenger duties — and you prefer a long-tail feel over a front box.

Packster2 — the front-box specialist

Packster2 puts cargo or children in front of you — unbeatable for keeping little ones in sight and conversation on the move. The box layout suits nursery runs, dog transport and businesses delivering in town.

Choose Packster2 if front visibility matters, you load from the kerb side regularly, or you want a dedicated box rather than configuring bags on a long tail.
