Raleigh Leeds Tour - Lowstep (2012)

Electric-bikes have come a long way in the last ten years. The Panasonic crank drive motor has won world-wide approval for its efficiency, reliability, looks and lightweight setup. Driving 250w of brushless power through the bikes own chain means that there literally won't be a hill too steep to climb anymore. The 26v 12Ah battery only weighs 2.4kgs, yet returns a massive range of between 25 and 50 miles dependent on the mode you are in. Lithium technology means you can quickly recharge the battery at any point. The stunning looks coupled with the quiet operation of the Panasonic system means that if it wasnÕt for the amazing performance, nobody would even know you were riding an electric bike
