Raleigh Motus Green Step Through Derailleur 700c Electric Bike
Commuting? Pottering about town? Riding with the family or even further afield? The Raleigh Motus Green Step Through Derailleur 700c Electric Bike will look after all your needs with its great components that make for a great all rounder road bike.
New for 2018 Motus models
A significant upgrade on the 2017 Motus series of electric bikes, the new generation BOSCH Active Line system sees smoother acceleration whilst shifting gear to create the perfect combination of mechanical and electrical pedelec technology, up to an amazing 90 mile range from Eco mode, and a super low profile and exceptionally quiet middle motor. This is supported by a pannier mounted 300 Watt hour motor that gives great range even with harder hills and use.
Moving onto the electric bike itself, the green Raleigh Motus Step Through Derailleur 700c Electric Bike has a great set of components and mechanisms that make for safe, reliable riding even if used for several miles every day. Its seven speed Shimano Altus drivetrain uses a 12-32 tooth cassette that allows for economical use of the battery even on reasonably challenging hills.
Comfort is assured with the Sell Royal Milo+ saddle for your rear and 63mm travel, Suntour NEX forks that will absorb most lumps, bumps and potholes you encounter on your journey. The Motus series of electric bikes come with mudguards, lights and a pannier rack as standard, allowing you to ride in all weathers and light conditions even with a bit of luggage.
For controlling your speed, the hydraulic Shimano M200 brakes are effective even on hard descents in the rain. They are very low maintenance by comparison to Vee brakes too, requiring brake pad changes roughly after twice as many miles.
Whatever your needs of a road bike, this is certainly worth serious consideration.
