DESCRIPTION
The Dawes Arc is a practical and versatile folding electric bike designed for commuting, leisure riding, and everyday convenience. Combining a compact folding design with reliable electric assistance and a significantly improved battery range, the Arc is ideal for riders who need a bike that is easy to transport, store, and ride.
Built around a lightweight 6061 alloy folding frame, the Arc folds quickly in just a few simple steps, making it ideal for train travel, car boots, motorhomes, and compact storage spaces. Suitable for riders from approximately 5'0" to 6'2", it offers a comfortable and stable riding position despite its compact dimensions.
Power comes from a trusted Bafang 250W rear hub motor delivering 32Nm of torque, providing smooth assistance up to the UK legal limit of 15.5mph (25km/h). The removable 378Wh battery offers up to 40 miles (64km) of range on a single charge, making it ideal for commuting and leisure rides alike. Charging takes approximately 5 hours, while the integrated USB charging port provides a convenient way to power devices while riding.
The Shimano Tourney 7-speed drivetrain with Altus trigger shifter delivers dependable gear changes across varying terrain, while mechanical disc brakes provide confident stopping performance in all weather conditions. Wide 20-inch tyres offer stability and comfort on urban roads and cycle paths, helping smooth out imperfections in the road surface.
Practical commuter-friendly features including full-length mudguards, a rear pannier rack, folding pedals and an adjustable kickstand come fitted as standard. Whether you're combining cycling with public transport or simply need a space-saving electric bike, the Dawes Arc offers comfort, convenience and everyday usability in one compact package.
