The perfect blend of style, comfort and efficiency the Hybrid AL e combines features and technology with classic British styling.
At home in the city and on the trails this cycle scheme approved bike is the choice for those who want to enjoy riding without being limited by terrain or distance.



With mudguard and rack mounts built into the frame, you have the option to fit full coverage mudguards and carry luggage. Perfect for those longer days in the saddle.
Using our famous BikeBuilder, you’ll be able to customise and accessorise your bike. So, changing your tyres and saddle preferences are a breeze.
A lightweight hub driven motor provides smooth, reliable power assistance and near-zero drag in off mode, ensuring your ride feels as natural as a traditional bike. The slimline and lightweight Panasonice 36V/250Wh battery fits discreetly within the frame's downtube, reaches maximum capacity from fully depleted in only 3.5 hours and is capable of providing up to 60 miles of assistance over variable terrain..
* average dependant on riding style, rider and terrain.
The light and strong aluminum frame makes the Hybrid AL e just as good for putting on the car for a fun weekend away as it is for the morning commute.
As the ebikemotion system weighs just 3.5kg, you get all the benefits of a smart ebike system with none of the typical compromises.

The Ribble Hybrid AL e is available to order on cycle to work schemes.
We accept all major cycle to work scheme vouchers.

If you want to look stylish around town and arrive where you’re going sweat-free, it’s definitely one to consider.


Yes, our ebikes are pedal assisted models which require rider input at all times.
There’s no need to worry, being a pedal assisted model means you are in full control at all times. When a power assist level is selected the motor simply provides a little extra boost whilst you pedal and does not take over.
No, pedal assisted electric bikes do not require you to hold a valid driver’s licence, pay tax or take out insurance.
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).
The electric components used on our e-bikes are IP54 rated. They can be used in inclement weather conditions and are protected against splashing, but not against full immersion or when subjected to pressurised water from a hose pipe or jet wash. When transporting the bike on the outside of a vehicle a waterproof cover should be utilised to ensure the protection of the electronic components from water damage during such transportation. As with any bike, we would recommend thoroughly cleaning and drying the bike after wet weather rides to maintain the peak performance of your bike.
Yes, all ebikes can be purchased through all the major cycle to work scheme providers. The government have even adjusted the £1000 limit making obtaining an ebike on cycle to work more beneficial than ever.
Due to the challenges associated with the Covid pandemic test rides are not currently available.We hope to be able to offer these as soon possible in the new year. Alternatively, you can hire the e-bike from E-Venture Bikes in Keswick, and the cost of the rental will be deducted from your purchase should you then decide to buy one of our e-bikes. We also hope to be able to reinstate the Ribble roadshows which offer demo rides all around the UK. We will update our events page of the website once we have any confirmed events as well as posting the details through our social channels.
Builds start at just 12.5kgs and this includes the motor system at 3.5kgs.
The Hybrid AL e has been built around the Ebikemotion X35 system.
Yes, you can cycle through 3 different assistance modes (which can be configured further in the app), or choose to have the motor turned off completely; all at the press of a single button.
The AL e’s motor system is 'pedal assist', which means that the motor supports you when you pedal the bike.
The AL e’s motor system will power you until you reach 15mph, at which point (by law, and as with all e bikes in the UK) the assistance will cut out. If you drop below 15mph the system will automatically kick back in with assistance if required.
The battery range of the Endurance SL 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 using the low power setting can expect an average range of up to 60miles. An optional range extender is also available for all of our e-bikes, which effectively doubles the bikes available range.
Yes, though the motor will only assist you up to 15mph, and for speeds above this you will be relying on your legs. Though in the US the bike is set up to max out at 20mph.
It is simple to disconnect the rear wheel from the frame by unclipping the connector on the chainstay and releasing the nuts on the rear axle. To reconnect, simply click back in and tighten the nuts.
The frame has a 3-year warranty against manufacturing defects. All other parts are covered by the manufacturer's standard warranty. The Ebikemotion system is covered against manufacturing defects for a period of 2-years.
Yes the frame is compatible with full mudguards thanks to its integrated mudguard mounts.
The Hyrid ALe is suitable for tyre widths up to 700x45c without mudguards, with mudguards fitted the bike will accept 700x40c tyres.
The relaxed geometry of this frame is best suited to comfortable and leisurely rides on paves surfaces though it is also capable on bridleways and towpaths.
Each frame size has mountings for 2 bottles.
Yes, the frame does have mounting points for a rear pannier rack and if you opt for the Fully Loaded Edition a colour matched forms part of the specification.
No, it is not compatible with electronic groupsets.
From flat the battery takes 3.5 hours to reach full charge.
No, the charging port is easily accessible atop the bottom bracket shell.
The button mounted on the top-tube indicates the remaining battery life at a glance using a simple colour-code. White= 75% capacity or more remaining, Green= 50-75%, Orange= 25-50%, Red= 15-25%, Slow Red Flash=10-15% and Rapid Red Flash= 10% or less remaining. You can also keep track of the remaining battery life using the Ebikemotion companion app.
Yes, the motor system’s app is compatible with both Apple and Android OS’s and offers a full suite of functionality; from monitoring your exact battery life, to pairing the system with a heart rate monitor and having the motor kick in at a specific BPM limit.
The AL e is one of the lightest e-Bikes of its type currently available.
Yes, the battery is accessible by removing the bottom bracket. The motor is also easy to replace.
The brakes are the most current flat mount variant.
Our AL e bike is supplied with a 3-pin UK adaptor.
Bikes to the US are shipped with a different motor unit which meets the higher speed allowed within the US and includes a US power cable, charging times and range may be affected slightly by the higher speed restriction.
You charge the system via the charging port that is easily accessible atop the bottom bracket shell.
The battery can reach up to 500 charging cycles while still retaining up to 90% of its capacity as long as its care and maintenance are adequate. For maximum efficiency, it is important to maintain a battery charge of between 20-80% of its total capacity. Charging the battery to 100% capacity from fully depleted is one complete charging cycle. Similarly, topping up the battery from 80-100% capacity on five occasions is also one complete charging cycle. If you are not going to be using your bike for a period of time you should always ensure that it is stored in a dry environment with a charge level of between 40-50%. A full charge should also be carried out every 2 months. Take care not to leave the charger connected to the bike continuously, doing so could accelerate the degradation of battery life. Ideally the charger should not be connected for more than 5 hours at a time. Use only the original ebikemotion charger supplied with your bike..
The AL e takes a press fit style of BB, Shimano builds require a 86.5x41 BB and Sram a BB86.
The additional battery comes in the form of a bottle and is supplied with its own bottle cage. This replaces the seat tube bottle cage mount (it cannot be mounted on the down tube) and a cable then runs from the extender into the charging port atop the bottom bracket shell.
Due to the many different systems people use we do not supply pedals with bikes but you can find a great array of pedals here.
