Dawes Elegance Low Step Electric Hybrid Bike
The Dawes Elegance combines the best of both
worlds – timeless heritage design with the modern electric power assist
that brings the joy of cycling to our most popular heritage bike, the
Dawes Duchess.
The Elegance frame takes visual inspiration from traditionally made
steel frames but instead uses a lightweight aluminium frame to make
cycling more comfortable and the bike easier to control. The comfortable
geometry and balanced ride give you the freedom and confidence to enjoy
riding around town, local country parks and even down your local canal
towpath.
The 375wh battery delivers up to 40 miles/64km of range is neatly
housed within the rear pannier rack and can be charged from flat in 5
hours. The added security of a key lock for the battery gives you peace
of mind when parked up in a public place, and the battery can be easily
removed from the rack to charge on or off the bike.
The bike is powered by the well-regarded and reliable Bafang rear hub
motor system that delivers 32nm of torque, making light work of hills
and flat terrain riding a breeze. Select from 5 different power modes
depending on how much assistance you want, using the sleek and easy to
use LED handlebar display that shows current battery level and speed.
We’ve also fitted a walk assist mode that engages the motor to help
drive the bike when pushing up steeper hills.
Fitted with a 7 speed Shimano Tourney gear system with Revoshift
twist style shifter for easy gear changes, and super-low maintenance
V-brakes. The Innova puncture protected tyres provide an extra layer of
protection against unwanted punctures while the ergonomically shaped
grips and a soft Selle Royal Freeway saddle make the Elegance a superbly
comfortable ride.
The handlebars on the Elegance sweep up and back towards the rider
for an upright and comfortable riding position and further adjustments
can be made with the adjustable stem to tailor fit the bike to you.
The Elegance comes fully equipped with a pannier rack, full-length
mudguards and chainguard to keep you as dry and clean as possible
whatever the weather and lastly the included kickstand means the bike
can be parked and stored away safely once you arrive at your
destination.
The Elegance has a classically styled low step frame that makes
getting on-and-off the bike quick and easy, and is suitable for riders
5’0” to 5’10” (152cm to 178cm).
