The Electron uses the tried and tested SportDrive hub system with a 313wh battery, making it perfect for short daily trips to work or the shops.
The use of a front hub motor instead of a conventional frame mounted system allows the use of a standard bottom bracket and chain set which in turn allowed Ridgeback to equip the bike with a full chainguard to keep the chain covered at all times.
A front hub motor still offers all the power and pedal assist benefits of a standard E-bike setup as allowing the bike to keep its classic clean look. Offering a smooth power delivery, the Electrons front hub motor transforms this in to a classic step through bike which offers a comfortable upright riding position with a modern twist.
