Troy Pro

Weight: 22 kg

If there’s one lightweight electric bike we wholeheartedly recommend, it’s our Troy Pro that has been upgraded for more power and efficiency. It is one of our most affordable e-road bikes and you don’t want to miss out on its commute-specific features or market-competitive price. The step-frame, with a minimum rider height of 5ft 2 inches, is suitable for all ages and sizes; all you have to do is slide right in, no matter the tightness of your attire.

Add a little fun to your morning routines by opting for Troy and its diverse range of features. Not only does this lightweight electric bike include a 250W motor from one of the world’s leading motor manufacturers, but it also integrates a powerful 480 Wh battery for extensive range. Enjoy 5 levels of pedal assistance ranging from high to low while you explore different city streets on the 17’’ aluminium alloy model. No matter where you cycle, Troy’s sturdy feel and sleek look is bound to turn heads.

But wait; it gets better. The bike also comes with Shimano disc brakes for full control, a rear rack for carrying your belongings, and a disconnectable throttle for your off-road adventures.  We’ve given our full attention even to the minute details to provide riders with a gratifying riding experience. And while Troy only weighs 22 kg, it can carry a gross weight up to 100 kg. Move to a more carbon-smart and thrilling routine by giving Troy Pro a try and ensure the best performance by regularly maintaining it. Since Troy has been specifically designed for UK roads, it’s best if you don’t use it on bumpier trails. For that, you can check out E-Movement’s emtbs here.

Raven

Weight: 20 kg frame, 5 kg battery

As one of our most spec-ridden e-bicycles, Raven is always ready to take the UK’s market by storm with its fat tyres, robust 20 Ah battery, a road-legal and off-road motor variant, sleek black step-through frame, and much more. It is an all-rounder electric bike that can take on any terrain with sophistication and ease, offering an unparalleled blend of style, versatility, and power. Whether you’re a casual rider or a seasoned pedelec enthusiast, this fat tyre bike is bound to open the door to extraordinary adventures and cater to your every need.

Riders can explore without boundaries and embark on longer journeys because of the 20Ah battery fixed into the frame, offering improved ergonomics and extra protection. You’ll also be pleased to know that Raven includes a special suspension seat post that seamlessly absorbs shocks and bumps for smooth and comfortable rides. Combined with this shock-absorbing feature, its 20-inch fat 120 TPI puncture-resistant tyres provide superior grip, unmatched stability, and enhanced control so you can conquer city roads, rocky beaches, and rugged trails with the utmost confidence.

We’ve thoughtfully manufactured Raven’s lightweight frame to offer accessibility and comfort to riders of all abilities. With a lower standover height, you can maintain an upright posture while reducing the strain on your shoulders and back during long journeys. Additionally, it doesn’t matter whether you wear slim-fit professional suits, cycling gear, or everyday attire because mounting and dismounting this bike is effortless due to the step-thru frame. The frame is particularly ideal for urban environments and activities where frequent starts and stops are common, such as navigating crowded areas or running errands.

E-Movement’s Raven e-bike is the embodiment of style and sophistication, making it a standout choice for those who not only appreciate stellar performance but also a powerful yet understated aesthetic.

Pixie

Weight: 22 kg

They’ve got all the flair, they’re accessible, and they come in lower frames to quell all mounting and dismounting fears; our Pixie electric bikes are another great featherweight option for all the weight conscious cyclists. Both the Pixie 500W and 250W versions are available for purchase in various shades of pastels if you’re looking to add a little colour into your life. These versatile and folding electric bikes are the way to go for taking a trip to the grocery store, setting off on an adventurous trail, or cruising down busy roads.

The pixie e-bike is perfect for female riders because they can wear whatever they please and still enjoy a comfortable ride. Senior individuals or those with mobility concerns can mount it easily too since the minimum height is only 5.0 ft! That said, of course, everyone and anyone can ride this step-through e-bike, as long as they fit the height requirement. After all, comfort is just as important as style and getting the right frame size is an essential aspect of a seamless riding experience.

Offering high-end solutions for every cycling need, Pixie is performance-oriented thanks to its hydraulic disc brakes and digitally disconnectable throttle. You don’t have to concern yourself with the bike’s modulation and braking power, nor will you feel fatigued on long descents. And while you can’t use a throttle on the roads according to UK law, we’ve found the ingenious solution of disabling your throttle through settings on the bike’s display when you are commuting. Simply toggle it on for your off-road adventures.

If you’re looking for a women’s e-bike or a men’s electric bike that’s available in bright colours for once, you’ll find Pixie combining both power and beauty. We’ve designed them specifically for individuals who love pastels and want various colour options to pick from for their bicycles.

Weight: 22.5 kg

E-Movement’s Thunder is a cutting edge eMTB for those thrill-seekers who are bored of regular road bikes.

It is bound to be your trusty companion that can be ridden anywhere due to its adaptability, power, and agility, making every ride an adventure waiting to be discovered.

Its features include a hardtail front suspension that has been expertly crafted for maximum shock absorption. While the front provides stability on downhill slopes and rough trails, the rear remains rigidly locked to provide extra power.

Another reason that Thunder stands out is due to its Aluminium 6061 frame, a truly technical marvel of engineering.
