Daily commute

I have been using this bike for the past month or so to go to work and back home. So far, I racked up 800km on the bike. I recorded some of the rides with my garmin, and the bike averages 21-23km/h (13-14 mph or 39 cheeseburgers/freedom if you're american), with an elevation gain of ±127 meters (±417ft or ~70 bananas). It's 20km/trip, and using it on the 5th level of assistance means I have to recharge the battery at work and overnight, although its just below 50%. I could put it on 3rd level and compensate with extra effort, but I don't need the extra workout. It's a great bike for a daily commute, quite comfortable and agile, although it could do with front and/or rear shocks. Also, the brakes tend to fade significantly quickly when riding on a downslope, so manage your speed in those downhills. I haven't tested it offroad nor do I intend to. The tires simply arent suited for it and without a proper suspension, I wouldn't risk it. The front light is bright enough to provide a fair line of sight, and the rear red light is also very welcome. One thing I noticed is the lack of mudguard, so if you're riding in the rain/muddy terrain maybe buy a set to go along. Overall, a great bike, well balanced although some basic improvements would make it better. Whether it's to enjoy a nice Sunday ride, or even to go to work daily, this is a serious contender.

Do not buy. Wouldn’t charge.

Bought in the evening, brought it home, plugged it in, patiently waited over night - nothing. Took back to Canadian tire next morning under 24 hours and told too bad your problem no refunds. Call the company for warranty. Avoid this bike, brand, and Canadian tire who no longer stand behind what they sell

Raleigh electric bike

Bought the bike 2 months ago and wanted to really test it before submitting a review. I'm happily surprised with the power and versatility this bike offers. It is a bit heavier than my normal bike but I'm very pleased with the speed of charge and the autonomy. It has made cycling fun again for me without putting too much efforts into it. It was a simple assembly out of the box

Nice electric bike with color

This electric bike have a nice Grey color. The battery are hidden inside the frame to minimize the risk of stolen battery. He run smoothly and help you to have a long ride with a minimum effort.
I recommand but to charge the battery is a Little bit more complex with this kind of battery type.

Super fun to ride!

This is a really fun bike to ride and really takes it up a notch from a regular bike! When you peddle it really takes off and you can get going pretty fast! The light function on this bike is also fanastic. Its very easy to switch gear with too. The battery is internal (not sure if this is good or bad) but when looking at this bike you wouldnt know it was an e-bike
Could use a couple little critiques. The seat is very small and hard. There is no suspension on this bike either so when you really get rippin it can be a bit rough and it would be nice if there was a backlight on the lcd so its not so hard to see the screen in the dark.
