Of course, never thought of that, simply because I don't tour. Silly me.

Raleigh Motus Crossbar for yourself and Raleigh Motus Step Through for your wife. Base model with 300watt battery is £1650 but the Motus Tour with 400watt battery upgraded gears plus some other extras is £1840 which is still within you price range. I spent some time looking around but kept...

I weigh the best part of 20 stone. My Raleigh Motus is fitted with the 300watt base battery and it predicts 90 miles for me. The most I have done is 15 miles and the battery dropped ONE, yes one of the five bars on the indicator. Given that it has progressed into the second bar that would...

My Raleigh Motus has a WALK mode but I cannot see the point as it pushes with no resistance anyway.

I suggest you look at the Raleigh Motus range. Even the base model with the 300w battery will cover that distance with plenty to spare and at £1650 RRP it's what I consider an absolute snip. Bosch Active Line crank motor is superb and there is a dongle should you want (I don't want no do I...

I've just completed my first one hundred miles on mine and if I have to report any problems, well more niggles, they are few. Firstly I find the Raleigh 'comfort' handlebars the most UNcomfortable I have ever used along with poor control when going slow. I suffered both wrist ache and shoulder...

I suppose they claim we aren't cycling in its purest form and OK they are right. However just because it suits them 'now' doesn't mean it will suit them as they get older, suffer injuries or illnesses. Others use them as transport, not purely for cycling pleasure or strenuous exercise.. The...

My Motus continues to assist to at least 19mph and has continued up to 22.5mph but even at that speed using the 7 gear cassette I just couldn't pedal fast enough to increase the speed so cannot see the point of even bothering to derestrict it. It's probably a different matter with the 10 speed...

No criticism intended start all. I was just trying to clarify the matter for anyone who may be contemplating the same. The shop was wrong, in some respects, because it isn't an automatic entitlement even for the disabled but they still have the discretion to modify the goods, no matter how...

I sometimes feel the motor cut out and get the 'wading through treacle' feeling but only for about one or two seconds. I don't really know why that is and it doesn't happen every time the motor cuts out but on the odd occassion it does happen it is no hinderance to progress because, as I said...

VAT relief only applies to items specifically designed for the disabled OR has been specially adapted to meet your disabled needs. That means an off the shelf vehicle be it trike, bicycle or ebike is not eligible for VAT relief. I looked into when I bought my first ebike a month ago and got...

Most of it is borne of ignorance. They seem to think that because it has a motor then peddling is superfluous. Leave them to their ignorance as they aren't really interested in learning or they would ask you about it rather than make sarcastic comments. As for mobility scooters I too use one...

Andy, you won't have the slightest bother cycling with the motor off. Some gears work better than others but all but the highest gear are no problem at all for me. For others in a better physical state, none of the gears should pose any problems at all. You will like it that much that you...

Reading other posts I'm far from the only one who has the same benefits. The current mini display cannot be adjusted by the user. It has to go to the dealer and have the software/firmware adjusted. I suspected it was reading high on speed (the odometer seems ok) compared to my other bike so...

I agree entirely. 80% my Bosch Active Line is physically off but even I ECP mode on the flat and with no head wind I wouldn't notice the difference on or off. Previous to buying the Motus I was riding a cheap and heavy MTB and was shocked just how free rolling the Motus was compared to it with...

My new Motus Crossbar motor cuts out varianly between 19mph and 22.5mph at its tastes. Given the peedo reads about 10% high I find it very acceptable. On the odd occasion it doesn't seem to have cut out at all and that is always going downhill with light oral pressure. It obviously isn't an...

Thanks for that. I thought the M200 might have been a simple misprint as ALL the dealers use exactly the same specs, letter for letter, like it's been cut and pasted. I thought it strange that their was absolutely no reference to them even on Shimanos website. I'll pop one out and compare to...

It's rather rude actually as those calling cheat have no idea why I ride an ebike or how I ride it. Suffering severe spinal and heart problems making walking difficult my doc an physio suggested cycling so I bought a second hand bike to try after a 20 year break. Apart from my lack of general...

Can anyone please help my identify which brake pads my late model Raleigh Motus uses? It states the hydraulic disc brakes are Shimano M200 but the only reference I can find to those model brakes is in the Motus specs. I can find no reference to the brakes themselves or the pads they use...

Hi my name is Steve. I am a 70 year old retired fire officer who has returned to cycling after aa20 year break to assist with health problems with my heart and spine. I bought a cheap normal bike to see if I could manage and was pleasantly surprised considering my severely restricted mobility...
