Some electric bikes are built to go fast. The Dawes Elegance is built to be enjoyed — and there's a meaningful difference. From the swept-back handlebars to the Selle Royal saddle and mint mudguards, this is a bike that's thought carefully about the riding experience, not just the specification list. It's the kind of electric hybrid bike you actually look forward to getting on in the morning.
The low step-through aluminium frame makes mounting and dismounting effortless — a genuinely important feature for daily riders, those returning to cycling after a break, or anyone who doesn't want to swing their leg over a high crossbar. The upright riding position, combined with the swept-back handlebars, keeps you relaxed and in control on everything from the morning commute to a Saturday afternoon along the seafront.
The 375Wh battery sits within the rear pannier rack — a rack-mounted design that keeps weight low and rearward, which helps balance and handling on a step-through geometry. It provides up to 40 miles (64km) of real-world range, is removable for convenient charging, and has a key lock for security when you're parked up. The Bafang rear hub motor delivers 32Nm of torque across five assist modes — smooth and predictable, exactly as it should be on a bike designed for relaxed, enjoyable riding.
The 7-speed Shimano Tourney gearing with Revoshift offers straightforward gear changes without unnecessary complexity. Innova puncture-protected tyres at 700x40c give a comfortable, confident roll over varied surfaces. Promax V-brakes are well-proven and simple to maintain — on a bike like this, low-maintenance reliability matters as much as outright performance.
Full mint mudguards, a pannier rack, a kickstand and a full-length chainguard keep things clean and practical. The Selle Royal Freeway saddle and ergonomic grips in brown trim complete a thoughtfully coordinated package. This is a bike that hasn't happened by accident.
Low Step-Through Frame — Upright Comfort Geometry — Easy, dignified access every ride. The geometry and swept-back handlebars place you in an upright, relaxed position that reduces strain on your back and wrists over longer journeys — exactly right for everyday commuting and leisure riding.
Rack-Mounted 375Wh Battery — Up to 40 Miles Range — A thoughtful placement that keeps weight balanced and low, while offering better protection from road spray. Removable with a key lock for security and flexible charging.
Bafang Rear Hub Motor — 32Nm Torque, 5 Assist Modes — Smooth, predictable assist from a motor built for everyday reliability. Five levels let you dial in exactly how much help you want — from gentle support on flat stretches to full assist on the climbs.
Shimano Tourney 7-Speed with Revoshift — Simple, reliable gear changes via the Revoshift twist mechanism. Well-suited to the relaxed riding style the Elegance is designed for — and low-maintenance over months of daily use.
Innova Puncture-Protected Tyres — 700x40c — Comfortable rolling with built-in puncture protection. Slightly narrower than some hybrid tyres for a more agile feel on smooth tarmac and well-maintained paths.
Promax V-Brakes — Reliable, Easy to Maintain — Well-proven, straightforward braking that is simple to adjust and service. A practical choice on a bike designed for riders who want their cycling to be hassle-free.
Coordinated Aesthetic — Mint Mudguards, Brown Grips, Silver Accents — The Elegance has been designed to look good as well as ride well. Full-length mint mudguards, ergonomic brown grips, a silver chainset and the Selle Royal Freeway saddle come together as a considered, cohesive package.

There are a few regulations surrounding electric bikes in the UK so we thought we would provide you with a summary of those below:
You must be aged 14 or over in the UK to ride an electric bike.
You do not need tax, insurance or a driving license to ride an electric bike.
To be classified as an electrically assisted pedal cycle (EAPC) in the UK, an electric bike must fulfil a certain set of criteria, including:
- Pedals - The electric bike must have pedals capable of propelling it, and motor assistance should only be provided when the pedals are moving.
- Motor - The motor’s power output must be no more than 250 watts (W).
- Speed - The motor should not be able to propel the e-bike when it’s travelling faster than 15.5mph.
Please note that if your electric bike does not meet the above 3 points, then you cannot ride on public roads. Some of our bikes exceed the 250W limit, so these are only to be used on private land with the landowner's permission.
It is the responsibility of the rider to wear protective clothing, however this is not a legal requirement.
