Bikes at the Cycling Electric Demo Day
3T Bikes
Founded in 1961, 3T makes some beautiful bikes many of which are made in Italy. They made their mark 1970 by making the world’s lightest saddle, the Superleggera, the Italian word for Superlight. Having initially made its name by making components like saddles and handlebars, now they are making bikes and e-bikes too. 3T electric bikes utilise a Mahle rear hub motor across four models: Racemax Boost, Racemax Boost Italia, Ultra Boost and Ultra Boost Urban. Looking for versatility and speed? There are few bikes this capable at these low weights.

Benno Bikes
Benno offers a fantastic range of utility e-bikes; they’re robust, no-nonsense bikes with a powerful and reliable Bosch motor, which has a smooth power delivery time after time. The chunky tyres offer comfort and grip, while some models have front fork suspension. Each model can carry at least one child seat over the rear wheel, and each comes with mudguards and lights. Look out for an incoming review of the Boost, first in our next magazine and then latterly online.

Brompton
There are a couple of options for Brompton: the Electric C line or the Electric P line. The P line is for those who want lightness, which believe us counts for something when you are lifting it on the train platform in a rush. This can too slightly increase your battery’s range.
In both ranges, you’ll find a 12-speed, enabling you to call on a broader range of gears for the hillier climbs; useful if you live in a coastal town where the topography rises quickly from the ocean. The Urban 4 perhaps better suits the urban rider.

Cowboy
Cowboy has been offering up well-built, aesthetically pleasing and digitally smart bikes for a while now with progressive enhancements to bolster the practicality of the bikes, as well as developing its own software in house to give it full control and allow innovation. Their minimalist design makes you wonder how they keep so much tech packed into such a tight design. Our Editor Mark Sutton has reviewed the Cowboy ST4 and its latest model, the Cowboy Cross.

EBCO
EBCO has a range of three e-bikes, the Urban, Adventure and the Street, and you’ll win no prizes for guessing how they would be used. You can view the whole range from ebco.co.uk, or buy the Urban range from the Electric Bike Shop; the choice is yours.

Estarli
Cycling Electric has covered Estarli well with reviews of the e28.8 Pro and the Estarli Longtail. Also, if you sign up to the Cycling Electric newsletter, you can win an Estarli e-bike kit worth up to £270. Estarli offers a wonderful cargo bike in its longtail for a reasonably low price, at just shy of £3,000. While there’s competition, thus far this has reviewed among the best in its category in large part down to the ease of use and versatility of the accessory bundles. Consider everything you’d need to buy to make it the cargo bike you need.

Desiknio
Desiknio offers some superb urban flat bar bikes that won’t stand out right away as being a valuable e-bike, great if you live in a theft hotspot. There are five in the Desiknio range, with a couple sharing the same frame and components but differing in gearing. They all use the same Mahle X35 rear hub motor to keep the design and styling sleek and simple.

MiRider
Cycling Electric editor Mark Sutton has reviewed the MiRider One GB3. It also came to the Cycling Electric Demo Day with our retail partner Highway Cycles, so if you’re looking for a folding e-bike to help you bust the commute, this could be an option for you; we’d love to know what you thought of it after riding it at the Demo Day. Cycling Electric has also reported on the new collaboration with Hope and MiRider, which has seen the mighty folding bike bolstered with Hope parts and some unique colourways.

Moustache
Again via Highway Cycles, Moustache supplied the Moustache Samedi 29 Trail 5, which was reviewed by Cycling Electric Staff writer Myles Warwood just recently. This entry-level full-suspension electric mountain bike can be a whole load of fun on the suitable trails. Moustache also has a complete range of urban e-bikes to help you commute.

Raleigh
Raleigh has some excellent cargo bike options, including the Raleigh Stride 2, brought to the demo day, and the Raleigh Stride 3, which staff writer Myles Warwood reviewed for Cycling Electric previously. Both can hold up to three children, with two in the cargo hold and one over the rear wheel. They both have the same powerful Bosch motor and are competent cargo bikes. Raleigh also has a collection of electric bikes for inner-city and leisure pursuits.

Ribble
Ribble currently makes some of the lightest e-bikes on the market, but with more manufacturers getting involved and the ongoing arms race of motor tech and frame materials, that is becoming an increasingly difficult space to stand out. However, that doesn’t stop Ribble from including this in their MO. While we reviewed the Ribble SL e for Cycling Electric, they brought more of their commuter range to the Cycling Electric Demo Day.

Ridgeback
Ridgeback supplied the Errand e-bike for the Cycling Electric Demo Day, as well as e-bikes like the currently up for grabs Advance 3. In the case of the Errand, this is a competent city bike with a lot to offer in riding agility and light utility. Its compact design makes it perfect for city living, and its smaller wheels make it a lot of fun to ride and throw around corners as you navigate the big city. The front rack also serves as somewhere to hold small cargo. All this, at under £2k, we think it’s a solid buy.

Riese & Muller
Riese & Muller has a wide variety of e-bikes, folding, long-range cycles and cargo bikes, which they supplied for the Cycling Electric Demo Day and enjoyed by the masses. Their front loader design with smooth suspension is a major reason why these are some of the easiest cargo bikes to get used to for beginners. We have reviewed the Riese & Muller Load 4 75 Vario and rated it for its vast carrying capacity, full suspension and the option of Bosch’s latest ABS.

Tenways
You may have read our reviews of Tenways electric bikes before the Cycling Electric Demo Day and thought, as we did, that the value for money looked strong. The Dutch manufacturer has been making quality e-bikes since 2021, so it’s a young company. However, their ambition and creativity is vast. They have everything from urban transport to a beautiful new front-loader cargo bike.

Tern Bicycles
Tern offers a range of quality cargo bikes, but the one that probably caught your eye the most was the do anything, go anywhere Orox. The Tern Orox is the latest in a long line of electric bikes from Tern, and this all-electric cargo bike is capable of many, many things. The company has decided that this sort of go-anywhere cargo bike will be the next wave in e-biking and we’re curious too. Expect a full review in print and online shortly.
There is, however, a lot more to Tern, from the folding bikes that launched the company to more compact city-suited cargo builds.

Trek
Being one of the bike world’s largest manufacturers, Trek has a long list of e-bikes, ranging high-capacity cargo bikes through city commuters and with ample full-suspension e-MTBs in between. Its electric bike range is almost as vast as its road bike range, so if they’re your thing or you enjoyed what you rode on the Cycling Electric Demo Day, then there may be a model in their range for you. One example from the Cycling Electric Demo Day that we have just reviewed is the all electric Marlin+.

Velo de Ville
What Velo de Ville is doing with e-bikes is very interesting. They have their bike models, which you can choose from. Then, it’s up to you how you spec the bike. You can design and build the bike in exactly any way you want to, meaning the bike is uniquely yours from the paint through to the spec. Cycling Electric decided to test this process by reviewing the Velo de Ville SEB 990, one of the bikes they brought along to the Cycling Electric Demo Day.

Yamaha
Yamaha brought a lot to the Cycling Electric Demo Day, including the Booster and the Wabash, which was reviewed by Cycling Electric Editor Mark Sutton. It makes sense for Yamaha to make e-bikes; they do, after all, create many different e-bike motors for many other brands. They also know how a bike goes on two wheels due to their motorbike prowess. The Wabash is notably also the electric bike chosen by round the world by e-bike tourer Nick Sanders, whose momumental effort is just drawing to a close.
