Ribble's CGR AL e Step Through is one of the modern generation of e-bikes that doesn't shout that it has an electronic heart. It's powered by a MAHLE ebikemotion X35 36V/250Wh motor neatly housed in the rear hub, which delivers 40Nm of torque. This is the same system used by the likes of Merida, Orbea, Lapierre, Cannondale among others, which should ensure its long-term viability. The CGR's battery is fitted in the down-tube and can't be taken out to be charged. Instead there's an unobtrusive charging port over the bottom bracket, with a rubber seal to keep the elements out.

Ribble's CGR AL Shimano 105 is a hugely versatile and superb value bike for everything from gravel bashing to cyclocross and road commuting. The aluminium frame isn't overly compliant and the kit needs a few tweaks if you intend to mostly stick to dirt, but that's easy enough to custom spec it to your heart's content when you order.

Great value, great ride and great versatility
