Shimano hydraulic disc brakes ensure quick stopping even in the wet and on the higher end Grand Tour option, Nexus hub gears keep shifting neat, tidy and reliable. The Felix range is a five model line-up of electric bikes that provide a comfortable upright riding position.
All models feature aluminium frames with short travel suspension forks at the front to provide comfort. Running onSchwalbe Road cruiser tyres, they'll be a little quicker off the mark than the Tour style with a more road going geometry, though you can opt for a straight crossbar or low step over option.
With a single front chainring and seven gears on the rear cassette, the aluminium framed Willow will roll well on flat roads and will cope on the shallower, draggy hills. But it isn't an option we'd recommend if you plan to commute via any significant hills. The Raleigh Motus bikes come available in a range of formats - from sporty crossbars to low step throughs to the compact electric sort. Created to be the ultimate commuter, each comes with built in pannier racks, mudguards, disc brakes and tyres that will roll well on the road whilst remaining resilient.
They all have a small degree of front end suspension for a little comfort boost, plus front and rear lights to remove potential complications in winter. The Mustang offers a more relaxed riding position for comfort and stability off-road on it's double butted aluminium frame. The bikes feature an aluminium frame with a triple chainring and seven or eight rear gears to ensure there's enough range for any journey.
All models come with v-brakes, which aren't as good in the wet as disc options, but will be sufficient for most riders. There's a selection of styles, with straight crossbars and low step variations.
Mudguards and pannier racks come as standard, whilst the Trail versions offer a little squish via front end suspension that has 60mm of travel and wider tyres that can tackle more varied terrain. This steel framed city slicker can be ridden fixed or as a singlespeed. It comes with aluminium seatpost and bars, and a steel fork.
The bike comes with a 42 tooth chainring and 16 tooth rear cog, this should be fine for most riders but you can swap them out once you learn what suits you best. This ride is perfect for riders who care about aesthetics have flat roads to roll into the city, but if there are any significant inclines you may be craving a smaller gear or more gears to choose from.
The folding bike option from Raleigh uses an aluminium frame and comes with 20" wheels and v-brakes plus seven rear gears on the cassette. Mudguards and a pannier rack come as standard, and reflective graphics on the side give added visibility. At When folded, it is very compact, making it a perfect solution if space is tight. The Raleigh Evo is a electric folding option and folds down to a compact mm x mm x mm size.
The Evo has many similar features to the Stowaway but also comes with a wH battery which Raleigh say has a range up to 31 miles. Coming in at 20kg, it is a heavier choice but worth it if you need a little extra boost on rides. Raleigh's Strada range is designed to offer rugged adventure potential, and all nine bikes in this collection have different specifications.
There are two key Strada families: the basic Strada hybrid bike and the Strada Trail Sport bikes, the latter coming with 60mm travel suspension forks for more off-road action. A notable feature across all models is the use of ab wheel size. Popular on mountain bikes, and more recently adventure road and gravel bikes, the wheel size can be coupled with wider tyres to smooth out bumps and lumps in the road or trail.
Strada hybrid bikes are all equipped with rim brakes, and range from the lower end Strada 1 with Shimano Tourney to the top end Strada 5 with a Shimano Deore single ring drivetrain which offers simplicity in shifting.
All but the Strada 1 come with internal cable routing and disc brakes. Some of Raleigh's most renowned creations have been kids' bikes , and their children's starter machines are still some of the most widely stocked. Raleigh offers a very wide selection, consisting of sixteen different families. Below is a quick run down to help you select one. We'd always suggest putting your focus on the weight of the bike. Children's bike designers in the past have been guilty of attempting to replicate adult bikes - adding suspension and lots of gears - elements that aren't always necessary on kids' bikes and can make learning to ride harder.
The kids' performance range from Raleigh looks to reverse this, with fewer gears, simple designs, and the lowest weight it offers. Whilst no longer a part of the line-up, Raleigh road bikes are still available second hand - so here's a look at the key models.
I quickly managed to removed the stem without it being seized! The chrome has cleaned up beautifully with little wear on the cups or the bearings. I say around because I always drop one or two. The fresh grease was much needed!
Those last few seconds in an eBay auction are a tense time for me. I won it by the 36p. I was going off pictures and barely any information. Generally, I think the condition is pretty good. The brakes and gearing look in perfectly workable condition with plenty of life in both. At the moment, all I think it needs is a damn good clean and to grease up the bearings. That and the tyres replacing, maybe the grip tape too. Both rims and hubs are Sturmey Archer components.
It spins freely, has all its teeth and cleaned up nicely. In terms of saddles, Brooks is always a name I associate with quality. It had a fair amount of surface rust but that was soon removed with the old wire wool and polish.
Dirty but fully working. This is the last thing I managed to do before the light failed me today. I quickly managed to removed the stem without it being seized! The chrome has cleaned up beautifully with little wear on the cups or the bearings. I say around because I always drop one or two. The fresh grease was much needed!
