I currently own a Tinker HS and have owned it for three years. But I always loved the Roadster and was waiting for an integrated battery. The 650 watt battery seems to be a nice size to provide for an extended range without the weight of an additional battery. We are lucky in the Chicagoland...

I have over 1,000 miles on my Tinker HS. Most of my riding is for pleasure. I have been exploring the forest preserve bike trail system in the suburban Chicago. I load the Tinker on my bike rack and I’m off. I have found it necessary to use several bungee cords to adequately secure the bike...

Tinker HS Update All is good! My Tinker HS is now the e-bike I thought it would it. After receiving a replacement display module cradle from Propel Bikes and having it installed by my local LBS, the Tinker is performing awesomely. I’ve ridden it often for the past two weeks with no...

I took a chance and purchased a R&M Tinker HS from Propel Bikes in Brooklyn NY and have had problems with the motor intermittently powering off often during rides. I received the bike in late May five weeks ago. I have taken it to my local LBS a few times, and even though they are a Trek dealer...

That is a nice looking bike! I hope it holds up! I took a chance and purchased a R&M Tinker HS from Propel Bikes in Brooklyn NY and have had problems with the motor intermittently powering off often during rides. I received the bike in late May five weeks ago. I have taken it to my local LBS a...

I agree with Rich C. A class 3, speed pedelec is my preferred e-bike, even though I rarely ride to the 28 mph limit. The most important factor is that I can maintain a steady 22-23 mph pace with motor assist for a long period of time with the 28 mph reserve if I need it. I know there will be a...

I just received a Tinker HS a couple of weeks ago. The main reason I purchased it over the nuvinci CX was the speed and gear range. I would have definitely paid for the option of the Rohloff hub as the bottom of the Tinker derailleur is only a few inches from the ground. I also like the fact...

What type of motor and display does your bike include? Why do I ask? I recently received a Riese & Mueller Tinker that has the Bosch motor and Intuvia display that has very similar glitches. I received it Friday evening and upon my initial rides Saturday and Sunday the same intermittent loss of...

Thanks for the advice! It worked! Just put me down as an anxious newbie eager to get out in the morning on his brand new bike!

My Tinker HS just arrived and I’m trying to tighten the seat post to no avail. It moves around very easily. I have a thudbuster suspension seat and it seems there is a shim. The whole seatpost is kind of greasy. Is this how it should be? I saw one video on YouTube that mentioned cleaning the...

A picture of the Bike Bike E is attached. I have owned it for about twenty years. Sorry for the repeat post! My bad!

My name is Kevin and I have five good words for you! Propel bikes in Brooklyn NY sent me Friday these words, ”Your bike has been shipped!“ has been shipped! The bike is a Black Tinker HS. I ordered it March 7th and paid an extra fee for expedited air shipping from Germany to Brooklyn. It...

Five good words!, “Your package has been shipped!” These are the words I received from Propel Bikes in Brooklyn NY on Friday. A Tinker HS is on it’s way to my home. It should arrive in 4-5 business days. I ordered it on March 7, 2018 and paid an extra $300 for the Tinker to be shipped by air...

CongratsI I ordered a Tinker HS from Propel a few weeks ago. I did pay the extra $300 for air freight. It is scheduled to be built this week in Germany. Propel seems to think it should arrive in Brooklyn the first week of April. Then Propel does their thing with my Tinker and ship it free to my...

I think Dmitri is becoming a bit long-winded. I watched half his video and had to let it go!
