Pre-Order

With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.

Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!

Pre-Launch

With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.

So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.

Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates

Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates are given on Pre-Order and Pre-Launch products. They are for indication purposes only and can change at any time without notice.

The dates we provide are based on indications given by our suppliers. Whenever we get updated information from our suppliers we will endeavour to update the Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates provided on product pages.

We estimate this will be ready for despatch to you or collection via Click & Collect on Undetermined

Professional Opinion

RIESE & MULLER TINKER VARIO DETAILS


Stable riding behaviour

Rides like a big bike.

You don't want to miss out on stable riding behaviour and comfort? Neither do we. With its 20-inch wheels, the Tinker has riding characteristics to quickly make you forget that you’re sitting on a compact E-Bike. Thanks to the continuous Enviolo hub gear with low-maintenance belt drive, you always ride with the perfect gear ratio. Opt for the suspension seatpost option for even more comfort.

Compact frame

Find a spot anywhere.

Thanks to its compact frame, the Tinker saves loads of space. As a commuter bike, it can be taken on public transport with ease, while it always finds a spot in packed bike stores. And if it does in fact have to be transported by car at some point, the Tinker will fit into many vehicles without any problems, with its stem folded and seatpost retracted.

Adjustable stem

Fits everyone. Without compromises.

Without sacrificing comfort, the Tinker can be adapted to accommodate rider heights from 1.50 m to 1.95 m thanks to its angle- and height-adjustable stem and easily adjustable seatpost. This makes the all-rounder the perfect family E-Bike: you ride comfortably, your children have fun and friends or flatmates will be delighted to borrow it as well.


Motors, batteries and displays – great performance from a single source.


Options

Cargo platform

The best solution is the Cargo carrier if you want to take more with you. With a volume of 18 L and internal dimensions of 42.5 cm x 30.5 cm x 12.5 cm (WxLxH), the box offers plenty of storage space. There's even space for a crate of water.

Additional chain 130 cm for lock

The solid Abus chain lock, as well as the Abus Shield frame lock, secures your E-Bike twice over. The 130 cm long chain is latched onto the frame lock and the bike can be quickly attached to the nearest lamppost. The chain thickness of 6 mm ensures a high level of anti-theft protection. Especially practical: Frame lock, chain lock and battery lock all use the same key.


The perfect gear for every pace.


RIESE AND MULLER UPGRADES & OPTIONS

SUSPENSION SEATPOST

Cane Creek Thudbuster ST

Cobbles can be as difficult to negotiate as any route out in the wild. The Cane Creek Thudbuster ST parallelogram-shaped spring seatpost offers a degree of comfort that makes any dirt track feel like a freshly paved road. Depending on the rider’s weight and comfort preferences, there are three elastomers of differing hardness to choose from.
