Review: Raleigh Trace - the lightest e-bike in RaleighBikes_UK's range is a sporty option that hides its e-credentials well… cycling
is clearly a well-made e-bike as even the quickest inspection reveals. Whilst the frame might not have the lovely polished, invisible welds of some others, it certainly looks the part, my test model coming with a lustrous light blue, classic diamond frame with the 250Wh battery housed in the downtube. There are two sets of bottle mounts and a further set of mounts on the fork.
As well as hiding its e-credentials well, it's also a pretty sporty looking bike with a horizontal handlebar stem and 28" rims. The cables from the bars run through the handlebar stem and front fork to give an exceptionally clean look with just a power feed to the rear hub motor and the derailleur cable running discreetly along the underside of the chainstays at the rear.
The test rider used it on well drained unsealed tracks and canal towpaths in decent condition and the WTB Byway 40 tyres are clearly 'go anywhere, do anything' items with their smoother central area and mini-knobbly edges. It's a pity the bike didn't come with the 44, wide versions for more comfort and grip off-road, but the narrow frame clearances probably wouldn't allow this.
