2026 Raleigh Motus Low-Step Electric Bike With Derailleur Gears In Nightblue Gloss

The Raleigh Motus Low Step brings electric assistance to leisure cycling with a design that prioritises accessibility and comfort. This thoughtfully engineered e-bike makes cycling more inclusive, featuring a low-step frame geometry that allows riders to mount and dismount with confidence whilst maintaining the responsive handling that makes every journey enjoyable.

Built around a lightweight aluminium frame with disc brake post-mount compatibility, the Motus delivers reliable performance for urban commuting, countryside exploration, and everything in between. The low-step design removes barriers to cycling, making this an ideal choice for riders seeking easy access without compromising on ride quality or durability.

The suspension system centres on a Suntour Nex E25 fork with 50mm of travel, providing just enough cushioning to smooth out road imperfections and light trail surfaces whilst maintaining efficient pedalling characteristics. This setup strikes the perfect balance for leisure riding, offering comfort without the complexity of full suspension.

Shifting is handled by Shimano's reliable CUES 9-speed drivetrain, providing a well-spaced gear range that covers both leisurely cruising and more demanding climbs. The CUES components offer dependable shifting performance with minimal maintenance requirements, whilst the 11-32 tooth cassette ensures you'll find the right gear for varied terrain.

Stopping power comes from Shimano MT200 hydraulic disc brakes front and rear, delivering consistent braking performance in all weather conditions. These reliable brakes provide excellent modulation and control, essential for confident riding whether you're navigating busy streets or enjoying quiet country lanes.

The wheelset combines RYDE ZAC 421 rims with Shimano CUES hubs, built with dependable Sapim Leader spokes for long-term reliability. Rolling on XLC Traverse Wired tyres in a practical 50-622 size, this combination offers a good balance of rolling efficiency and grip for mixed-surface riding.

Comfort details include a Selle Royal Wave saddle and adjustable Kalloy seatpost, whilst the aluminium platform pedals provide a stable footing. The JD-ST243A-2 adjustable stem allows fine-tuning of the riding position, and the 640mm-wide handlebar offers confident control and steering precision.

Perfect for riders seeking an accessible, comfortable electric bike that makes every journey more enjoyable, the Motus Low Step combines practical design with quality components in an attractive Nightblue Gloss finish.
