While the Load 75 is more fun to ride, the Packster 70's design make it notably more practical for family life.

This is a really poor review. For anyone watching this, there is far better content on these bikes. Points like "my backpack would be exposed"... "The wheel lock can hit the spokes"... 😂 Jesus...

I think she actually makes a good point. Whether or not it's an issue will vary from individual to individual but its a clear elaboration of the different depths in the cargo area.

Look that's fine. I just found the overall tone mostly unnecessarily negative and many criticisms drawn were for kind of illogical things, but yeah, if you enjoyed it great, I am very experienced in the bikes (both) over years and several iterations and not agreeing with many criticisms given here

I like your review, things you mentioned are also what I concern in day to day use. For Load75, have you tried the option with footwell? Does it make much difference in terms of the leg room and overall comfort for children, which brings Load75 closer to Packster? Also in terms of your security concern for some one stealing your stuff at red light, if you fit the child cover all time, would it still be an issue?

For the rain cover on the Packster: you have to pull the handle bar higher. Of course, that way you sit less sporty, but there's no free lunch, is there ;-)

With the Load75, you should have gotten the footwell with it. As well as the table to put things over the kid's feet. About the "kids sitting lower in the Load", for my concern, it's "a feature not a bug". Lower means lower center of gravity -> much more agile. We (my kids and me) are usually on full speed through all kinds of terrain. Not just roads.
@emmadoherty6084
@emmadoherty6084 Год назад
Exactly this Tobias. I was wondering why I didn’t have this sitting flat issue and realised that we have a footwell that must have been an extra specification. I can’t imagine it working without it so can see why she prefers the packstar. Also we have a smart Bosch display that sits centre, and an anti theft battery cage. We also got it derestricted so we fly around without the kids. The narrow shape is much more aerodynamic. Love our load 75, especially with the kids snack table! We do not use it without the rain cover though, to me the cover is integral for that little extra security. The load 75 can manoeuvre through chicanes easily too, I wonder how this fairs. Also wonder how a third child fits the packstar? Says it can on the website but I can’t see how.
@ewalaskowska-litak5555

exactly, the handlebar! I ride RM Load75 each day and got an impression it was designed fully from a male perspective (handlebar, sadle, hight, even the frame is not quite female friendly ;)).

@Ewa shall we join forces and build a cargo bike that puts women's design needs first? Joking aside, I hope you like my female focused review! May I ask how you could see the frame as being better designed with women in mind?

I had to look really hard multiple times at the Load4 & Packster2, on R&M & other websites, reading specs & reviews. I finally decided the Load4 is marketed more to men, & the Packster2 more to women. I also decided the fully equipped Load4 is less well developed, less mature than fully equipped Packster2. I don't know why anyone would choose Load4 over Packster2. By fully equipped Packster2 I mean Control Technology & Enviolo Automatic. Packster2 advantages include: #1 similar overall length as Load460 yet almost as much cargo box length as Load475; #2 hidden batteries; #3 hidden steering linkage; #4 integrated cargo box; #5 shorter turning radius; #6 higher visibility; #7 wider cargo box; #8 more attractive appearance; #9 simpler transmission operation; #10 simpler dual battery charging. The only disadvantage of Packster2 is speed limited to 20mph compared to Load4 at 28mph. Not a deal breaker for me.

@Evan - right? How did I get my little mitts on it so fast?? I am fortunate, I found a dealer committed to selling R&M in a way that works for me as a potential customer (shocking how unusual this is in Berlin, Germany). He let me borrow a Load 75 for a month (a whole month!) at a fair rental price, so I could learn if it worked for our lifestyle. Of course he gave me a double suspension version (R&M's best selling point IMHO given no one else seems to do it for Cargo Bikes), but as my 4 weeks was coming to an end he said "Oh Chelsea, do you want to try the fancy new Packster that just arrived for a weekend?" - I said yes!

I totally agree about the child rain cover, it is better to get the flat box cover since it covers the child too except for the head.
@ChelseaBlacker
@ChelseaBlacker Год назад
@Stefan My dealer spoke to R&M, unfortunately the Packster I ordered will come with a child rain cover even though we want a flat cover. Why? Not sure, but my dealer was told we can get a flat cover in the new year. I expect it's a stock issue, so many companies with Asian production chains are struggling with shipments, I'm sure it's frustrating for R&M too. They want us to be satisfied customers ultimately.

I feel that Riese & Müller are overpriced compared to Dutch made competitors. The Load for example, looks like it was just cobbled together in some garage. Battery placements seemed like they just threw it on where ever there was space. The Packster looks a little better thought out, the design made more sense than the Load. The load has full suspension though, so maybe that's important?
@ChelseaBlacker
@ChelseaBlacker 8 месяцев назад
@xieulong - I totally agree with you on the point R&M is more expensive than dutch competitors. Have you tried riding a Load? It looks a bit 'bamboo garden sticks' to me and I also agree the battery is chucked on in an ugly way - but.... for me it is SOOOO fun to ride. Just to clarify - the Packster ALSO comes with full suspension on an upgraded package. 👍🏼
