Sell the second car.
Two kids in the front, in a box where you can see them. A week's shop on top. Full suspension on both wheels for Dublin potholes and Cork hills. The Load 5 is the cargo bike that ends the second-car conversation for good.
In a foam-lined box, eye contact maintained, 5-point harness as standard. The bike you can have a conversation on.
A full weekly shop. Two kids and a buggy. A garden centre haul. The Load 5 stops feeling like a bike and starts feeling like a van.
Front and rear. The only cargo bike that absorbs an Irish pothole at 25 km/h with the kids on board. You feel the bike, not the road.
One of the few cargo bikes with full suspension.
Every other front-loader cargo bike on the Irish market gives you one suspension fork at the front and a rigid rear. The Load 5 is one of the few engineered with full suspension on both ends — a Suntour Aion air shock at the rear, matched to a Suntour fork at the front. The difference is the difference between riding a city bike and riding a tractor.
It matters because cargo bikes carry weight on uneven ground every day. School run. Recycling run. Garden centre. With two kids and a 60-litre shop on board, full suspension is what stops your bike feeling like a wheelbarrow at 20 km/h. It's why R&M Load owners stay loyal for ten years and don't switch to anything else.

About €120 a month, for 12 months.
Cycle to Work is a 12-month salary sacrifice — so it’s the repayment scheme. €3,000 of the bike comes off your gross salary over the year. At higher-rate tax, that’s about €120 from your take-home each month for the CtW portion. The balance is paid outright on collection.
Load 75 vario. Pay in full. Full suspension, Bosch Cargo Line, belt drive. R&M warranty + lifetime GreenAer workshop.
From your take-home, over 12 months. Saves about €1,560 in tax on the cargo cap. CtW portion fully paid in a year — balance (~€6,250) paid outright on collection.

Why people don't buy this online.
A €9,250 cargo bike that arrives in a box and never gets fitted is not a €9,250 cargo bike. Four reasons our customers walk in instead of clicking checkout.
Direct-to-consumer cargo bikes arrive in a crate. Ours arrive after you've ridden one with your kids strapped into the box, here at the store.
Saddle, bars, brake reach, child seats. Set up in 5 minutes by someone who's spent years on a Load themselves.
Authorised by Riese & Müller. Bosch certified. Year one service included. Loaner cargo bike if yours needs longer.
Jack in Sandyford, Alan in Mullingar, Robbie in Cork. Sells you the bike, services it, picks up the phone three years later.
If the Load is too much bike, these usually fit.
The two bikes our Load customers often consider before deciding the Load is the right answer.
Strap the kids in. Then ride it.
We'll have a Load 5 sized, the rain canopy on if it's wet, and the kids' seats fitted before you arrive. Bring the family. Take a proper ride. 30 minutes is enough.
