Ribble CGR AL e

The electric components used on our e-bikes are IP54 rated. They are protected against splashing, but not against full immersion. The electric bike should never be subjected to pressurised water from a hose pipe or jet wash, failure to adhere to this may result in damage to the electrical components that comprise the motor system . When transporting the bike on the outside of a vehicle a waterproof cover should be used to ensure the protection of the electronic components from water ingress during transportation.

Yes, all e-bikes can be purchased through all the major cycle to work scheme providers. The government have even removed the £1000 limit making obtaining an e-bike on cycle to work more beneficial than ever.

To charge the battery you simply plug the bike into a household socket using the supplied charger and cable. (The optional range extender can also charge the main battery whilst you are on the move).

Due to the challenges associated with the Covid pandemic, test rides are not currently available. We hope to be able to offer these soon. Alternatively, you can hire the e-bike from E-Venture Bikes in Keswick, the rental cost will then be deducted from your purchase should you decide to buy one of our e-bikes. We also hope to be able to reinstate the Ribble roadshows which travel around the UK offering people the opportunity to test ride our bikes. We will update the events page of our website and share the details via our social channels once we have any events confirmed.

The ebikemotion X35+ power assist system offers assistance up to 15mph, at which point (by law, as with all e bikes in the UK) the assistance cuts out. If you drop back below 15mph then they system will re-engage until such time as you turn the assistance off.

The battery range of the CGR AL e depends on a number of factors including rider weight, route profile and temperature. A rider of 90kg, on a varied route including climbs, descents and flats can expect an approximate range of 60 miles. An optional range extender is also available for all of our e-bikes, which gives a total capacity of 456Wh and adds an extra 70% of effective range.

The CGR AL e has discreet pannier rack mounts built into the frame.

There is clearance for tyres up to 45mm in width on 700c wheels and 47mm on 650b without mudguards, or 40mm with guards fitted.

Like any battery, the capacity will start to degrade over time, in the case of the Panasonic battery, after approximately 500 charging cycles. Please take some time to read our battery care blog in which we outline the best practices to ensure that your e-bike's battery continues to function at optimal efficiency throughout its lifetime.
