Riese & Müller Homage5

The Homage5 is the rare bike that combines three things at once: full suspension, a genuine low step-through frame, and serious long-distance capability. It pairs 120mm of front and 110mm of rear Control Technology with a multi-drive frame that takes the Bosch Performance Line CX or the sealed Pinion MGU — all in a frame you step through rather than swing a leg over. For people who want the composure and reach of a performance e-bike without a high-top tube, nothing else in the R&M range does quite what the Homage5 does. The upright, confident riding position makes it as natural in London traffic as it is on a country lane.
