Raleigh
electric bike, Bicycle Company is one of the most popular and well
known United Kingdom based bicycle manufacturers in the world. During their
long existence, they have pioneered various technologies and which helped to shape
the bicycles that we all love and ride today. Company started in Nottingham,
back in 1885 (tentative). It was founded by two enthusiasts cycling lovers
called as “Richard Woodhead and Paul Angois”. Soon, they started
manufacturing the Raleigh Safety Bicycle, which was their answer to the
world for impractical and unsafe Penny Farthing that was in use widely
across the areas people were familiar with it. Soon after this incident, in
1888 roughly, this new product of theirs attracted the attention of “Richard
Bowden”, a long distance tri - cyclist, who eventually acquired the company and
renamed it as Raleigh Cycle Company.

four renowned e-motor manufacturers. Most of its electric bicycles are assisted
by Bosch e-bike systems, but Brose, Shimano, and TranzX also make the
