Raleigh Motus Grand Tour for sale
Good points
- Bosch mid-drive system, which Bosch eBike dealers across the UK can diagnose and service
- Mudguards, rack, lights and kickstand come fitted, so there is little to add
- Sold in low step and crossbar frames, with hub gear or derailleur
- The battery comes off the bike for charging indoors
Things to consider
- Heavy, like most fully equipped e-bikes. Lifting it onto a car rack or up steps is hard work
- A replacement Bosch battery is expensive, so battery health matters more than cosmetic condition
- Motor, battery and display have changed between model years. Do not assume two bikes share a spec
- Made for roads, cycle paths and towpaths, not for off-road riding
Raleigh Motus Grand Tour buying guide
The Motus Grand Tour is the top model in Raleigh's Motus range of electric hybrid bikes, sitting above the Motus and the Motus Tour. It is a town and leisure e-bike with a Bosch mid-drive motor, an aluminium frame and 700c wheels. Mudguards, a rear rack, lights and a kickstand are fitted as standard, so a used one should arrive ready for commuting and shopping trips.
Raleigh has sold it in crossbar and low step frames, and with either a hub gear or a derailleur. Adverts do not always say which, so check the photos. The hub gear keeps the gears sealed inside the rear wheel, which suits all-weather use. The derailleur is the setup every bike shop works on daily.
In our UK price data, used Motus Grand Tours are typically advertised at around £1,400, with half of the adverts between £900 and £1,650. That comes from only ten adverts, so treat it as a rough guide.
What it's like to ride
Upright and steady. The riding position is relaxed, and the Bosch motor adds its help at the cranks, so the assistance rises and falls with how hard you pedal. As with any road legal e-bike in the UK, the assistance stops at 15.5mph. Above that you are pedalling a heavy bike on your own.
It is built for comfort and for carrying things. It is not a sporty ride, and it is not meant for rough off-road tracks.
Who it's for
Commuters and leisure riders who want help on hills and into headwinds. The low step frame suits anyone who finds it awkward to swing a leg over a crossbar. If you want a light, fast bike, look elsewhere.
Raleigh Motus Grand Tour, key things to know
Buying tips
- A Bosch eBike dealer can run a diagnostic report showing total mileage and battery charge cycles. Ask the seller for one, or pay a shop to do it before you buy
- Check the battery key is included. The battery locks to the bike and a missing key is a problem you inherit
- Make sure the charger comes with the bike and watch it start charging
- Confirm the frame style and the gears from the photos. Low step or crossbar, hub gear or derailleur
- Ride it in every assistance mode and listen for grinding or clicking from the motor
- Ask for proof of purchase and the frame number, and run a stolen check before you pay

Check the frame number before you pay. On a Raleigh it is not always in the obvious place, and a bike with no readable number is a bike you cannot verify.
