Riese and Müller Culture Mixte

The Culture Mixte is the step-through version of R&M’s lightest city bike — a minimal, considered e-bike built from a frame made with approximately 50% recycled aluminium and powered by the Bosch SX, the lightest motor in the Bosch range. Same weight as the standard Culture, same performance, lower frame. Available in Blossom and Denim. It is the R&M for anyone who wants nothing unnecessary — and nothing missing — in a frame that is easier to step through.

Who it’s for

The Culture Mixte is for people who think carefully about the things they own and want a bike that is as easy to get on as it is to live with. The step-through frame suits anyone who finds a high-top tube impractical — whether for clothing, preference or daily routine — without changing anything about the bike’s character, weight or capability. It is an exceptionally well-made city bike shaped by an awareness of materials, sustainability, and urban aesthetics. If you want an e-bike that disappears into your life rather than announcing itself, this is the one.

Build & technology

The frame’s 50% recycled aluminium content reflects a genuine commitment to R&M’s sustainability principles — not a marketing detail. The Bosch SX motor is the lightest in the Bosch range, keeping the overall weight low and the ride feel light and natural. The battery is fully integrated into the frame — flush, fixed, and part of the bike rather than an accessory. The Culture Mixte has the same weight as the standard Culture — the Touring variant starts from 21.3kg. Clean cable routing and a minimal finish reinforce the bike’s considered aesthetic. Available in Blossom and Denim.

At Flying Dutchman

The Culture Mixte tends to surprise people who come in expecting another substantial R&M. It is light, quiet and unpretentious — a bike that feels immediately right for the city. Available to test ride and order at Flying Dutchman in London — come in and ride it.

FAQs

Yes — same weight, same motor, same battery and same specification. The Touring variant starts from 21.3kg in both standard and Mixte frames. The only difference is the frame shape: the Mixte has a lowered top tube for easier mounting and dismounting.

The Culture Mixte is available in Blossom and Denim. The standard Culture comes in Biscuit and Denim. Demo bikes are available to try at Flying Dutchman, and we can order any configuration.

Yes — for everyday city distances it is an excellent and enjoyable daily bike. It is not designed for long-range touring or carrying heavy loads, but for urban commutes of a typical London length, it is one of the most pleasurable ways to do them.
