Raleigh Launches new Hockley and updated Motus E-Bikes

Raleigh has announced the launch of an all-new Hockley e-bike as well as updates to its Motus e-bike.

According to Raleigh, the new Hockley promises to reignite your passion for cycling; the new model is described as meeting timeless design with the 55Nm torque of the feather-light Bosch SX motor.

A stylish, lightweight aluminium frame houses the motor, battery, and cable routing, with seamless integration that enhances both durability and aesthetics. Available in two different frame styles, high and mid, the Hockley weighs in below 18kg with more than enough power from the 400Wh battery to soar through the city – Raleigh

Here are more details from the release:

Suspension that is designed to look good and made for comfort.

The Hockley offers 20 to 25mm of smooth suspension travel (frame size dependent) that is virtually maintenance-free and lighter than a conventional suspension fork. Equipped with a minimalist luggage rack, designed to match the modern style of the bike, Hockley can carry up to 15kg in panniers that can be quickly and securely attached.

Protection from the Urban environment 

Named from the very heart of Nottingham, The Raleigh Hockley carries the soul of the city in every spoke and offers protection from the urban environment. Kitted out with full-length mudguards and integrated lights, it’s ready to tackle city commutes in any weather, day or night.

Crafted for the city streets, whether it’s rough roads or harsh weather, the Raleigh Hockley is ready for every urban adventure.

Raleigh Motus Updates

Raleigh says the “latest version comes with all the high-spec features expected from this sophisticated e-bike on an all-new lowstep frame platform.”

Designed for those who want to navigate city streets as easily as winding country lanes – and all on a really smart looking bike. The new Motus is proof that grown-up sophistication and everyday practicality can share the same frame. Countless journeys all made easier by the kind of practical details that matter more than most realise.

At its centre sits the new Bosch Performance Line motor, quietly delivering up to 75Nm of torque. The difference between dreading a hill and barely noticing it. Paired with a 500Wh battery, it gives the rider the confidence to go further, explore longer, and get there without breaking a sweat. The power is there when you want it, and respectfully silent when you don’t.

More details from the release:

The Motus comes equipped with everything a good hybrid e-bike should. Front and rear lights come as standard, because rides shouldn’t have to end when daylight does. Full mudguards keep road spray and countryside splashes where they belong – off your clothes. And there’s a sturdy MIK rack at the rear, built to carry up to 25kg. Shopping, a laptop bag, or even a spontaneous picnic is all in a day’s ride.

The latest range keeps your choices refreshingly simple. Choose between two drivetrains: the fuss-free Nexus 7-speed hub gear, or the crisp, confident shifting of the CUES 9-speed derailleur. Both finished in the same quietly refined paintwork. No complicated colour charts, no confusing spec sheets – just pick the gearing that suits your riding style and get on with your day.

Every element of the new Motus has been chosen with one goal in mind: to make everyday riding feel effortless, and keep it looking effortlessly stylish. It’s the sort of bike that makes itself useful without ever making a scene. A grown-up companion for riders who’ve moved past the hype – and want something that actually delivers.

Available now.
