Kinetics

Founded in November 1998, we’ve been designing, building, importing and modifying unusual cycles for 25 years, from our showroom and workshop in Glasgow, Scotland.

We’ve always got a few customised Bromptons in the shop to try out – at the moment it’s a Brompton with Kindernay gearing and disc brakes, and a Rohloff MTBrompton – plus Birdy and Hummingbird demonstrators.

	Brompton: We build customised Brompton folders, with different wheel sizes, Rohloff, Alfine or Enviolo gearing, disc brakes or belt drives. See lots of examples in the Gallery Of Custom Builds.
	Birdy: Riese & Müller’s Birdy folding bikes are aluminium full-suspension folders with disc brakes and the ability to carry up to four panniers.
	Hummingbird: The ultra-light composite Hummingbird weighs from 7kg, or a bit over 10kg for an electric assist version.
	S&S Bicycle Torque Couplings: The BTCs can be fitted to most steel frames – retrofitted or new builds – to make a full-size bike into a separable bike for travel.

We’re a HPVelotechnik Premier Dealer, a Hase Top Dealer and an ICE Level 4 Dealer, so we’ve got a large demonstrator fleet, with HPVelotechnik Scorpion, Gekko, Streetmachine, Grasshopper and Speedmachine, ICE Adventure, Full Fat and SprintX, and Hase Kettwiesel, Trigo and Pino models to try out.

HPVelotechnik Scorpion: Aluminium trikes with rear or full suspension	Hase Kettwiesel: Folding delta trikes, with full suspension
ICE Adventure: Comfortable touring trikes, easy to get in and out of	ICE Full Fat: Fat-tyred off-road trikes, for soft and loose terrain
HPVelotechnik Gekko: Fast-folding trikes, great for small storage spaces	Hase Trigo: Adaptable delta trikes, for children or adults
ICE SprintX: Fast road trikes, good for audax or fast touring	ICE VTX: Race trikes, uncompromisingly low and fast
HPVelotechnik Streetmachine: Classic full suspension world touring bikes	HPVelotechnik Grasshopper: Compact full suspension folding bikes
HPVelotechnik Speedmachine: Fast full suspension road bikes	Hase Pino: Recumbent and upright tandems, for a wide range of riders

We’ve got demonstrators of all the Riese & Müller e-cargo bikes in the shop to try out – Transporter 65 and 85, Packster 70, Load 60 and 75, Multicharger, Multicharger Mixte and Multitinker!

Carry in front:	These cargo bikes have their storage in front of you, a large box or flat platform – they can carry a lot, and are quick to load and unload, but are larger to store.
	Load: The Load 60 and 75 are the top-of-the-range e-cargo bikes from Riese & Müller – they have full suspension and an aluminium space frame front load area.
	Packster: The Packster from R&M has an integrated hard box, with low-slung batteries and cable steering for excellent manoeuvrability.
	Transporter: The Transporter 65 and 85 are the workhorses of the Riese & Müller e-cargo fleet – simple, tough frames can have anything from a flat load platform to a massive lockable box for commercial use.
Carry behind:	These cargo bikes carry their loads behind you, on a “long tail” – they are more compact and more like normal bikes to ride, but can’t carry as much and loads need to be strapped on instead of just placed in a box.
	Multitinker: R&M’s Multitinker is their compact long-tail e-cargo bike, with 20″ wheels and plenty of space on the rear rack for children, cargo or an adult passenger.
	Multicharger: The Multicharger from Riese & Müller is their e-cargo bike that’s most like a conventional bike – big wheels ride over rough roads and paths.
