Why this one
Electric full-suspension with an 840Wh battery and 105Nm of torque. UK law caps assistance at 15.5mph and 250W continuous, so this is legally a bicycle: no licence, registration or insurance.
What actually matters on this bike
The motor and battery
105Nm of torque. Torque is what you feel at the moment you push off, and it is the number that decides whether a steep start from standstill works or does not. UK law caps continuous power at 250W, not torque, which is why torque is the figure worth comparing between road-legal e-bikes. 840Wh battery. We will not quote you a range in miles, because it depends on gradient, rider weight, temperature and which assistance mode you ride in. What we will say is that Wh is the only comparable number, and this is at the large end of what we stock.
The drivetrain
SRAM S1000 Eagle T-Type AXS. This is an electronic groupset: shifts are made by a motor at the derailleur rather than a cable, so they stay indexed as cables would not, and they do not drift out of tune as the bike beds in.

Questions about buying a bike from us
Do I need a licence, insurance or registration?
No. Assistance is capped at 15.5mph and 250W continuous, which makes this an EAPC — legally a bicycle in the UK. No licence, no registration, no insurance, no road tax, no helmet requirement. Riders must be 14 or over.
How far will it actually go on a charge?
Further on the flat, in a low assistance mode, with a lighter rider than any published figure assumes. We do not quote a range number because the honest answer depends on gradient, weight, temperature and which mode you ride in, and a single figure would be misleading in most of those cases.
How assembled does it arrive?
Around 90% built, on a specialist bike courier. Front wheel, bars, pedals and seatpost to fit. The battery ships part-charged, as regulations require — charge it fully before the first ride.
Can I ride it in the rain?
Yes. Motors and batteries on modern e-bikes are sealed against rain and road spray — check the IP rating on the manufacturer’s spec sheet for the exact figure on this model. What matters more in practice: never jet-wash an e-bike. The seals are made to keep rain out, not a pressure washer, and water forced into a motor is not a warranty claim.
Can I pay by finance or Cycle to Work?
No. Neither is available here, so the price you see is the price. Most UK e-bike purchases at this level go through one or the other. If that is how you were planning to pay, it is worth knowing before you get to the checkout.
Can I test ride one first?
Not with us — we are online only and hold no demo fleet. At this price it is worth sitting on one first: Specialized and Cube dealers run demo days, and the frame size you settle on there is the one we will supply. Send us the size and we will confirm it against the geometry chart before you order.
Who fixes it if the motor or battery fails?
The manufacturer’s warranty is handled through their dealer network, and a dealer is not obliged to prioritise a bike bought elsewhere. Tell us and we will open the claim and deal with the manufacturer ourselves rather than send you round the houses. Worth knowing before you buy from any online-only shop, including this one.
What happens when the battery wears out?
Batteries are a consumable. Expect meaningful capacity loss after several hundred full cycles, which for most riders is years rather than months. Both manufacturers sell replacements; that is a real future cost and worth knowing before you buy.
Kit it out
Bikepacking luggage straps to the frame, so it works on a bike with no rack mounts — which is most of these.
