According to multiple sources, the first e-bike, developed for the Raleigh brand and pictured above, is nearing completion. It’s here that the brothers founded VanMoof in 2009, before the heavily-funded startup went bankrupt in 2023. The prototypes match images of a Raleigh-branded e-bike that recently leaked. The Raleigh commuter e-bike looks very VanMoof-ish, only better: the battery is removable for charging, it’s belt driven, and the motor has been moved to the rear wheel. When I reached out to Raleigh for comment, Accell Group Brand Lead Ertu Bilgin said that the e-bike was developed with help from “some former VanMoof team members,” but it’s “very much a product of the Accell Group.”
