2019 Raleigh Motus E Bike | Range Review | Tredz Bikes

The Motus is a practical electric bike that offers powerful assistance to your natural pedalling power. This makes cycling much easier, you will notice this most on the hills that will seem much flatter than they really are. There are both men’s and ladies’ versions available at three different component levels, we’ll look at them all in this Raleigh Motus review.

All the Raleigh Motus e bikes are powered by a Bosch Active Line crank drive motor and a long-lasting lithium ion battery. We’ve tested this e bike extensively and we’ve all been impressed by just how easy it is to ride up even the steepest of hills and how long the battery lasts.

The Motus is available in two different frame shapes. This is reflected in the Model names; the crossbar bikes have a traditional men’s style frame with a high crossbar, the Low Step bikes have a Dutch style frame with no crossbar at all to make getting on and off the bike easier. The Low
Step models are marketed as women’s bikes but there is no reason why men can’t take advantage of this easier to use frame design too. Both frames are made from high-quality 6061 aluminium alloy.

All the bikes have a Suntour Nex suspension fork up front to take the sting out of rough roads and cycle tracks. The fork is supple so it will smooth out the bumps on gravel tracks and rough roads.
There is a progressive lock-out dial which makes it easy to firm up the fork for more efficient cycling on smooth surfaces

Now retired i bought a motus 2019 unused from a cash converters shop for just over a third of the new price! Looking over all the parts I'm very impressed with the quality and it's fitted with a 400 watt battery. I'm really looking forward to using it and will appreciate the assistance as i live in a hilly part of Yorkshire. So after 50 years I've gone full circle and returned to a bicycle after swapping to a motor bike at 16. Just found a local club i can join and cycle with people my own age.

Can the battery be charged without being in the frame? I plan to leave the bike in my cellar as I live in an apartment. I definitely can't carry the bike up 6 flights of stairs.

Raleigh electric bikes are single use bikes. Their battery cannot be replaced and the company advice is to buy a new one if the battery dies.
