Features
As "Dutch" as British gets..
Raleigh's new 2023 Motus Grand Tour Crossbar uses the Bosch Active Line Plus motor, a 500Wh battery and large and easy to read and operate Intuvia display.
With a relaxed, very comfortable and posture pleasing upright seating position and style, the Motus Grand Tour models offer a confidence building riding style for new ebike riders with its predictable but direct handling, but with a few extra bells and whistles over the entry and Tour models.
Brand new for 2023..
The Raleigh Motus Grand Tour Crossbar has undergone a major frameset overhaul for 2023.
Starting from scratch, Raleigh have redesigned the entire frame to fully integrate the Bosch Active Line Plus motor and 500Wh battery, better hiding and incorporating them both into the frame, in to bring it fully up to date for 2023.
Brakes & Gears
The Raleigh Motus Grand Tour models are equipped with Shimano's BR-MT200 hydraulic disc brakes both front and rear These offer solid on and off-road performance with easy reach adjustment.
These levers and calipers, paired with 160mm rotors at the front and back of the bike offer exceptional bite and great modulation, making them a great choice for a variety of terrain and riding styles. Hydraulic brakes are now very much standard on top quality ebikes, taking just a small amount of pressure to generate a stronger stopping force.
The 2023 Raleigh Motus Grand Tour models are offered with a choice of gearing. The Shimano Nexus 7 speed hub system offers a low maintenance but high level of design, quality and function in an complete, integrated gearing package.
For those who prefer a more widely used gear change solution, the 2023 Motus Grand Tour models are also available with a derailleur geared setup. The most commonly gear selection type on bicycles, a derailleur setup is more easily maintained and adjusted.
*The only colourway available with hub gearing option is Black.
Shimano hydraulic brakes are a staple of newer town and city style bikes, where reliability and longevity are key.
Offered with two options, Raleigh have tried to cater for all types of rider with their choice of more common derailluer or traditonal hub gearing
Regardless of which shift option you choose, you can be confident you'll have the necessary ratio for any urban or leisure ride.
Wheels & Tyres
Raleigh have used their own factory rims on the Motus Grand Tour models for 2023 with Shimano hubs and 700c rims. The 36mm wide rims offer the ability to fit a wide choice of tyres.
Raleigh always offer a top quality tyre on their bikes, and the Schwalbe Road Cruiser Plus is no exception. Predominantly aimed at paved road use, it'll stand up to light gravel paths and the occasional byway, if thats where you happen to end up!
The bottom line..
Although the Raleigh Motus model line has been overhauled for the 2023 model year, it will retain its reputation for being a solidly built and ultra reliable bike from one of the UK's oldest biking brands.
Exclusively using Bosch drive systems and Shimano gearing means that not only does the 2023 Raleigh Motus Grand Tour range offer you the power and gear range to cover whatever your local terrain throws at you, service and support is never far away.
With over 600 UK Bosch service centres and using the most commonly found components, you'll never be far from a solution for maintenance and service.
Power
Bosch Active Line Plus System
The new 2023 Raleigh Motus Grand Tour Crossbar eBike features the Bosch Active Line Plus crank drive motor, 500Wh PowerTube frame integrated battery and Intuvia display system.
The 250w Active Line Plus system outputs 65Nm of torque and peaks at over 500w! It certainly packs a punch, offering up to 270% assistance in turbo mode. Featuring 4 levels of assistance (and remember you can always turn the power off and ride it as a normal bike) ranging from 40 to 270% assistance.
The Motus Grand Tour Crossbar features the latest 'PowerTube' Bosch 500Wh battery technology for 2023. Completely integrated into the frame, it's neatly designed it so it can be charged both on and off the bike.
For 2023 Raleigh have equipped the Intuvia display, offering all the essential parameters on one easy to read display, including:- Speed, assistance mode, average, speed, range, odometer and battery bar. This display can be removed from the bike acting as a security immobiliser for the system.
The bright, easy to read and use Bosch Intuvia display is effortlessly simple to use and offers the rider "at-a-glance" speed, power mode and battery information.
The Bosch Active Line motor is as synonymous with Raleigh as they are with the UK bike industry and is ultra-reliable.
The now hidden Bosch Powertube 500Wh battery is neatly integrated but can be removed from the bike for charging if required.

Reviews
"GREAT BIKE FOR THE PRICE"
I live in the USA. The Motus shipping was outstanding. What a great bike for the price. Martin in sales has been very prompt and helpful in resolving the only issue I had with the Bike. I could not get the "walk assist" to operate, Martin walked (no pun intended) me through the problem as soon as I contacted him. 5 Stars both the bike and the service!
