Dawes Elegance Low Step Electric Hybrid Bike 250W (2025)

The Dawes Elegance is powered by a discreet 375Wh battery tucked neatly within the rear pannier rack, offering up to 40 miles (64 km) of range and a full recharge time of just five hours. The battery features a secure key lock, giving you peace of mind when leaving the bike in public spaces, and it can be effortlessly removed for convenient charging on or off the bike.

At the heart of this e-bike is the dependable Bafang rear hub motor system, delivering 32Nm of torque for effortless rides, whether you’re tackling hills or gliding over flat terrain. With five selectable power modes controlled by a sleek LED handlebar display, you can customise your level of assistance while keeping an eye on battery life and speed. Plus, the walk-assist mode offers an extra boost when pushing the bike up steeper paths.

For smooth shifting, the Elegance is equipped with a 7-speed Shimano Tourney gear system and a Revoshift twist shifter. Reliable V-brakes ensure low-maintenance stopping power, while puncture-protected Innova tyres keep your ride worry-free. The ergonomic grips and plush Selle Royal Freeway saddle enhance comfort, and the adjustable handlebars and stem allow you to tailor the fit for an upright, relaxed riding position. Complete with a pannier rack, full-length mudguards, chainguard, and a handy kickstand, the Elegance is ready for any adventure—rain or shine. Designed with a classic low-step frame, it’s easy to hop on and off, fitting riders from 5’0” to 5’10” (152 cm to 178 cm).
