As a complete novice to the world of ebikes, all of the above makes interesting reading, I guess the Raleigh Captus and Motus are made in China too, I still haven't had a test ride yet but could someone explain the differences between the Raleigh system and the one that is used on the Wisper 905 torque for instance, is one more reliable than the other, and is one lighter than the other?

Many thanks for both your replies and your welcomes, I thought 12 miles was a long way if something goes wrong with the bike, but 100, wow, yes I am going to try a Raleigh soon, if I get on ok I will have to choose between the two, or maybe get in the car and try other brands such as the Wisper amongst others, decisions decisions, thanks again.

Hi, First post here after a few weeks browsing, I am in my early seventies and would like to try to keep fit by getting out on a bike again, but whichever way I go I have hills, nothing too bad but it leaves me out of breath before I have even started a ride, so an ebike seems a good option, my question is, what do the regulars on here think of Raleigh ebikes and in particular the Captus and the Motus, I have looked but don't seem to find much about them on this forum, so how do they compare to other brands which are always being talked about here, the main reason for my interest in Raleigh is because I have a dealer who stocks them about a half a mile from me, whereas any other brand would be a trip of 12 miles or so, thanks for any help and hope it makes sense.
