    R&M Roadster touring 2021

    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...

    Riese & Muller Tinker

    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...

    Riese & Muller Tinker

    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...

    Riese & Muller Tinker

    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...

    Is 20 mph too slow?

    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...

    Delite Gx Rohloff HS ‘not mountain, mountain version’

    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...

    Motor not turning on

    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...

    Known Issues & Problems with Riese & Müller Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    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...

    The four best words..

    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...

    The four best words..

    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...

    My Review of the Riese & Müller Delite GX Rohloff

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

    Riese & Muller Tinker

    I ordered a Tinker HS from Propel bikes last week. It's my first e-bike! I hope to have it delivered by mid to late April and paid an extra $300 to ship by air from Germany. Propel will then prep it and send the Tinker to my home in suburban Chicago. The landscape is mostly flat in Chicago...

    New Charger and Supercharger not coming to U.S. (edit- possibly mid 2018)

    I am pumped!!! R&M initially had the New Charger & Supercharger listed on their website with a December 2017 release date. Then everything disappeared and I learned that R&M was waiting upon UL certification. I decided months ago that the New Charger HS, GT, Nuvinci (Sorry, if I did not get the...

    Riese & Müller 2018 Updates from Interbike

    That's a nice looking bike! What drivetrain do you have? Is it the traditional derailleur, Nuvinci, or Rohloff? How does the Thudbuster sea -post feel? That long delivery time scares me as the New Charger and Supercharger are not even available in the states as of now. A 2-3 month wait time...
