Raleigh, the British bicycle brand, has announced the latest addition to its line-up with the Modum – a compact, urban e-bike with a wide range of accessories.

The Modum is equipped with a quick release speed lifter and the handlebars will twist 180 degrees, so it can be tucked away in narrow spaces, taken on public transport or stored flat against a wall.

The compact frame comes fitted with 20” wheels, a dropper seat post and utilises a Bosch BES3 motor, the only Raleigh bike this year to feature this system.

The mid-motor 500wh integrated battery requires five hours charging to provide a 100 mile range.

The brand says the Modum is “nimble, easy to store, ideal for daily commutes and weekend adventures with a powerful Bosch drive which combines functionality and style”.

The Modum features integrated front and rear lights and mudguards, Shimano disc brakes and a Shimano Nexus 5 gear hub.

The rear rack is compatible with the  Mounting Is Key (MIK) click system that allows riders to fit a variety of luggage options quickly and securely.
