Bike Description
Rare and very valuable E-Bike with Bosch motor (Retail of around £4000). This bike was customized and is likely to be the only Black Tinker with no luggage rack over rear wheel, making it look a bit more like a BMX or fold up bike. All Tinkers have a luggage rack with integral rear light (making it not just a case of unbolting it - so this is likely to be a one off). Very good condition, and distinctive. It also had a carbon Brooks sadle sitting on a suspension mount, with its lock on the stem - but its likely that all these parts will have been removed. or changed for cheaper items.Theft Description
