Description
Who is this bike suitable for?
The Raleigh Motus Tour Open is good for your recreational rider who wants to explore or commute alike. Using a semi all terrain hybrid tyre, the Motus Tour is great for both road and light gravel paths Offering extended range with the Bosch 400Wh battery and fully equipped with essentials like mudguards, pannier rack and a side stand - It's a great electric bike.
This bike is everything I was hoping from an electric bike, after visiting the cycle show and months of reading ebike reviews I was a bit nervous of spending suh a lot of money. However after my first cycle ride on the Raleigh Motus I am 100% convinced that I have chosen the best bike for me and I love it. In summary, I couldn't be happier!..
New Features
The Raleigh Motus Open is a new option for those looking for a low step frame but more similar design to the crossbar. It offers a lower stand over and comes in three frame sizes to suit any height rider.
The Tektro hydraulic disc brakes ensure the Motus Tour electric bike comes to a stop where needed, with good braking performance and minimal maintenance.
Whilst we are on maintenance, aside from keeping it clean and oiling the chain from time to time, there is not actually that much else too it!
The Raleigh Motus Tour Open comes fully equipped with all the practical functions you would expect. Raleigh have opted to offer an eBike that you needn't add any extras. Well, maybe a helmet and a nice set of pannier bags?..
Hub Gear or 8spd Derailleur Version?
The Raleigh Motus Tour is offered in two specs - hub gear or derailleur. Hub gears are best for long flatter terrain, they offer a range of gears with minimal fuss. Both up and downhill you'll have enough gears for everyday riding. The hub version is £100 more.
Hub gears benefit from a user friendly system, the controls are easy to navigate (just up and down) and they also benefit from being very low maintenance.
Because the chain does not move, it doesn't wear the same and there is little wear on the sprockets. Thus, not needing for frequent changes of the chain and/or sprockets.
The Motus Tour model features a 7 speed gear system, provided by Shimano, the 7 Speed Internal Nexus gear hub offers silky smooth shifting while maintaining a completely straight chain line.
It works in harmony with the Bosch eBike drive system and offers a reliable maintenance free solution. The 7 speed setup offers a wider range bottom to top for all hills and descents.
Alternatively you can opt for the Shimano Acera 8 speed drive train on a derailleur gear setup, offering a wide range of gears.
The wheels feature decent hubs & Raleigh have used alloy double wall rims for superior strength and minimal weight.
The wheels on this model are 'quick release' front & rear. This means you can remove the wheels in seconds if required.
To glide you over some of the bumpier roads / terrain are Suntour's front suspension fork with 50mm of travel to take the zing out of the front end.
The semi wrap bars are natural to hold and combined with the adjustable stem and comfort grips allow the rider to get in the perfect position.
The Raleigh Motus Tour Open includes a complete mudguard set, comfort saddle, ergonomic grips, adjustable stem, prop stand, pannier rack and puncture resistant tyres. It even has built in lights which are powered off the eBike system itself.
No bulbs or batteries to contend with, the lights are always ready for you. Also for this new model it has a built in chain guard, keeping the rider clean and no longer can trousers get caught. Make sure to also checkout the Motus Grand Tour with up-rated 9 speed gear system, rear wheel lock, Bosch Active Line Plus Motor and the 500Wh battery for extended range.
