Riese & Muller Tinker Vario 2019
The compact city runabout is the epitome of straightforward urban mobility. The Bosch Performance CX motor, the comfortable and continuous Enviolo hub gear and the Gates belt drive make the Tinker the universal town bike. The gear is virtually maintenance and wear-free. To meet the highest expectations of comfort, the compact E-Bike can be adjusted to different body heights. Hydraulic Tektro disc brakes ensure safety in city traffic.
The Tinker.
An E-Bike of stature.
The city is packed with challenges: commuter hold-ups on the streets, full buses and trains, sometimes heavy luggage and all this even before the sun comes up. But don’t panic. The solution has a name: Tinker. With this compact E-Bike featuring 20” wheels, you can effortlessly glide past all of this with a broad smile. Its frame is so cleverly designed that you can quickly carry it up a few steps or store it in the boot of your car. Even in a full bike store, there is always space for the Tinker. Just as straightforward as the Tinker is in everyday life, it is with regard to the rider: tall, small, man or woman, the bike can be perfectly adjusted for everyone in a few easy steps. And with the Tinker you don't have to forego speed either: the HS version offers assistance up to 45 km/h. The daily commute has never been so fast.

Flexible stem
Fits everyone. Without compromises.
The angle- and height-adjustable stem and easily adjustable seatpost mean that the Tinker can adjust to rider heights from 1.50 to 1.95 m and adapt to every rider's comfort preferences. In everyday life, the clever all-rounder becomes the perfect family E-Bike: you ride in comfort, your children will enjoy it and you can quickly lend it to your best friends or your dearest flat mate.

Compact frame
Saves energy and transport tickets.
Not a folding bike. Not a mountain bike either. But perfect for busy cities and unspoiled nature. Once the stem is folded and the seatpost pushed in or pulled out, the Tinker can fit into most estate cars, SUVs or mini-vans for transportation. Its frame is so compact that it can effortlessly be taken on public transport.
Abus Shield frame lock
Steals success from thieves.
Park your bike wherever you want. Only you can take it away. The frame lock clicks shut simultaneously with the battery lock, so you only need one key for your E-Bike.

Frame colour
Going for gold with every colour.
We could start talking about Goethe's colour theory at this point. Or provide a colour guide like a fashion magazine. But basically only one thing matters: the most beautiful colour is the one that you like the most.
Suspension seatpost
A wild ride. Without the rodeo.
Cobbles can be as difficult to negotiate as any route out in the wild. This diamond-shaped, sprung seatpost offers a degree of comfort that makes any dirt track almost like a freshly asphalted road. Depending on the rider's weight and comfort preferences, there are three elastomers of differing hardness to choose from.
Optional equipment
Transport: good
The carrier – fitted as standard – is equipped with the practical "snapit" system from racktime, to which you can simply click many panniers and accessories. If you want to take more with you, the best solution is the cargo attachment. 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. And best of all, no matter which transport variant and load you decide on – the riding characteristics always remain excellent.
