"Like a VanMoof, the Raleigh One e-bike comes with anti-theft features like GPS tracking and an alarm, cables routed through the aluminum frame, wide tires, mudguards, integrated lighting, and hauling options needed for daily commutes across a city. It also comes packed with lessons learned about reduced complexity and serviceability, including a bevy of off-the-shelf parts and a single-speed, belt-driven transmission connected to a rear-hub motor with a battery that can be quickly removed for indoor charging."
"Two good things have come from the 2023 bankruptcy of VanMoof. The first is the all-new VanMoof S6 e-bike that recently launched under new ownership. The second is a new commuter e-bike developed for Raleigh by VanMoof's departed founders, Ties and Taco Carlier.

Two outcomes followed the 2023 bankruptcy of VanMoof: the VanMoof S6 relaunched under new ownership and a commuter e-bike for Raleigh created by VanMoof's founders Ties and Taco Carlier. The Raleigh One includes anti-theft features such as GPS tracking and an alarm, internal cable routing in an aluminum frame, wide tires, mudguards, integrated lighting, and carrying options for urban commuting. The design emphasizes reduced complexity and serviceability with off-the-shelf parts, a single-speed belt drive to a rear-hub motor, and a removable battery for indoor charging. The bike emits pleasant functional sounds and omits ostentatious styling. The boost button is absent.
