Raleigh expands UK eBike line-up with Captus

Raleigh has introduced Captus, an eBike that aims to combine everyday practicality with strong performance at an accessible price.

At its core, Captus is powered by a Bosch Active Line motor paired with a 400Wh Bosch battery, a combination Raleigh describes as “trusted for performance, range and durability”. Together, they deliver up to 70 miles of riding on a single charge, making the bike a strong option for both daily commutes and longer weekend rides.

Captus also features Shimano 9-speed gearing and hydraulic disc brakes, supported by a Suntour suspension fork for added comfort. Integrated lights, full mudguards and a rear carrier are included as standard, underlining the bike’s suitability for year-round use.

Raleigh positions the Captus as “a new benchmark for value in the eBike market”, thanks to its retail price of under £1,899. The bike is offered in both low-step and mid-step frame designs, with a wide size range to suit different riders. Low-step models are available in XS (41cm), S (46cm) and M (51cm), each fitted with a Suntour NEX E25 50mm suspension fork, while mid-step versions come in S (48cm), M (53cm) and L (57cm).

Recently, Raleigh launched the Raleigh ONE, a new low-maintenance urban eBike for the UK, Germany and the Netherlands with one gear and one size. It is powered by a single-speed motor and a 360WH removable battery, giving riders a range of up to 80km in eco mode (approximately 50km in boost).

Featuring a carbon belt drive and hydraulic disc brakes, the lightweight, one size aluminium frame features integrated rear-lights with a wraparound design, while its dual-front light with smart functionality and a powerful beam. The smart geometry of the Raleigh ONE enables a confident riding position, thanks to riser handlebars, while wide tires offer a smooth, cushioned ride to take on tough multi-surface city terrain.

Prior to this, Raleigh UK officially became Accell UK & Ireland earlier this year, cementing its connection to its parent Accell Group, which owns 12 bike brands.
