Why Riese & Müller makes the difference

Riese & Müller is a premium e-bike manufacturer renowned for engineering excellence, innovation, and uncompromising quality. For over 30 years, the German company has been combining cutting-edge technology, durability, and timeless design to deliver outstanding performance in everyday and professional use.

When e-bikes see daily use across diverse riders and weather conditions, this premium engineering matters. Riese & Müller’s legendary build quality means consistent performance, minimal downtime, and a riding experience that encourages regular use—the foundation of successful corporate fleet programs. With a strong focus on sustainability and rider experience, Riese & Müller sets the benchmark for premium electric mobility in urban environments. 

By working together, Urban Connect and Riese & Müller aim to redesign corporate mobility by offering employees additional commuting optionality, while also reducing the environmental impact. Building on this partnership and shared ambition, the collaborative e-bike fleets create clear advantages for both employers and employees. 

Employees are the biggest beneficiaries of a shared e-bike fleet 

A corporate e-bike sharing fleet delivers its greatest impact where it matters most: with employees. By making active mobility an easy, everyday option, shared e-bikes support both physical and mental well-being while fitting seamlessly into busy work routines. Even short, regular rides can make a meaningful difference – without requiring high fitness levels or lifestyle changes. 

Key benefits for employees include: 

• Better physical health: regular cycling promotes movement, strengthens the cardiovascular system, and can reduce the risk and severity of serious illnesses — even when supported by e-bikes.  

• Enhanced cognitive performance: cycling has been shown to improve memory, focus, learning speed, and problem-solving abilities, helping employees stay mentally sharp. 

• Better mental well-being: time spent cycling outdoors supports stress reduction, improves mood, and strengthens resilience in demanding work environments. 

• Inclusive access to active mobility: e-bikes lower the barrier to entry, making cycling accessible regardless of fitness level, age, or distance. 

Together, these benefits translate into healthier, more focused, and more engaged employees – turning shared e-bike fleets into a powerful investment in people. 

Companies benefit from healthier, more productive and resilient teams  

A corporate e-bike sharing fleet is not only a benefit for employees. It is actually a tangible advantage for companies as well. By enabling active e-mobility, companies can improve productivity, reduce indirect costs, and strengthen their employer value proposition, all while supporting sustainability goals. 

Key benefits for companies include: 

• Stronger employer attractiveness and retention: offering shared e-bikes signals a modern, people-centric workplace and supports work-life balance. 

• Higher productivity and performance: healthier, more physically active employees tend to be more focused, resilient, and cognitively effective at work. 

• Reduced absenteeism and health-related costs: regular physical activity is linked to fewer sick days and lower long-term health risks. 

• Efficient and cost-effective mobility: e-bikes are a low-cost alternative for short business trips, reducing reliance on cars and taxis. 

• Measurable sustainability impact: shifting trips from cars to e-bikes directly reduces CO₂ emissions and helps meet ESG targets. 

In sum, corporate e-bike sharing turns everyday mobility into a strategic lever – improving performance, reducing costs, and building a more resilient organisation. An e-bike fleet forms a central part of an integrated mobility system for companies. Embedded within a comprehensive mobility solution, it complements existing options such as public transport and car sharing, creating seamless, multimodal commuting for employees.
