Endurance SL e

Yes, all e-bikes can be purchased through all the major Cycle to Work scheme providers. The government have even abolished the £1000 limit making obtaining an e-bike through Cycle to Work more beneficial than ever.

You can test ride any of our e-bikes and receive expert buying advice at our flagship Clitheroe showroom. Please contact the showroom in advance so that we can ensure that any suitable bikes you wish to test are available for your visit. During the summer months, we also host demo events across the UK. For details of the dates and timings of these events, please refer to our events page.

Alternatively, you can hire the e-bike from E-Venture Bikes in Keswick; the rental cost will then be deducted from your purchase should you decide to buy one of our e-bikes.

Builds start at 11kgs, the Sport build with Shimano Tiagra weighs in at 12.4kgs, and the Enthusiast build with Shimano 105, 11.95kgs.

The SL e has been built around the Ebikemotion X35 system.

Yes, you can cycle through 3 different assistance modes (which can be configured further in the app) or choose to have the motor turned off completely, all at the press of a single button.

The SL e’s motor system is 'pedal-assist', which means that the motor supports you when you pedal the bike.

The SL e’s motor system will power you until you reach 15mph, at which point (by law, and as with all e-bikes in the UK) the assistance will cut out. If you drop below 15mph, the system will automatically kick back in with assistance if required.

The battery range of the Endurance SL e depends on a number of factors, including rider weight, route profile and temperature. A rider of 90kg on a varied route including climbs, descents and flats using the low power setting can expect an average range of up to 60 miles. An optional range extender is also available for all of our e-bikes, which effectively doubles the bike's available range.

Yes, and with builds from only 11kgs, you often find yourself above this speed. The motor will only assist you up to 15mph, and for speeds above this, you will be relying on your legs.

It is simple to disconnect the rear wheel from the frame by unclipping the connector on the chainstay and releasing the nuts on the rear axle. Then reconnect by clipping the cable back in, inserting the wheel and tightening the nuts.

The frame has a 3-year warranty against manufacturing defects. All other parts are covered by the manufacturer's standard warranty. The MAHLE system is covered against manufacturing defects for a period of 2-years.

Yes, the frame is compatible with full mudguards thanks to its integrated mudguard mounts.

The Endurance SL e is suitable for tyre widths up to 32c without mudguards, though this depends upon the model/brand of tyre fitted. With mudguards fitted, the bike will accept 25c tyres.

The Endurance geometry of this frame is best suited to comfort and efficiency over longer distances on road, as well as an aid to climbing. If you're going to be riding off-road often, we would suggest the CGR AL e which has the same Ebikemotion system.

Each frame size has mountings for 2 bottles.

No, the frame does not have rack mounts incorporated. For an e-bike with rack mounts, see the Hybrid AL e.

Thanks to its internal cable routing, the frame is fully compatible with electronic groupsets.

From fully depleted, the battery takes 3.5 hours to reach full charge.

No, the charging port is accessible easily on the outside of the frame.

The button mounted on the top tube indicates the remaining battery life at a glance using a simple colour code. White= 75% capacity or more remaining, Green= 50-75%, Orange= 25-50%, Red= 15-25%, Slow Red Flash= 10-15% and Rapid Red Flash= 10% or less remaining. You can also keep track of the remaining battery life using the Ebikemotion companion app.

Yes, the motor system’s companion app is compatible with both Apple and Android OS and offers a full suite of functionality, from monitoring your exact battery life to pairing the system with a heart rate monitor and having the motor kick in at a specific BPM limit.

The SL e is one of the lightest e-Bikes currently available. As reference points, the Pinarello Nytro is 13kgs; and the Orbea Gain is 11.3kgs.

The battery is accessible by removing the bottom bracket. The motor is also easy to replace.

The brakes are the most current flat mount variant.

Our SL e-bike is supplied with a 3-pin UK adaptor.

Yes, bikes shipped to the US are equipped with a drive system that offers a higher maximum speed and includes a US power cable. Though charge times may vary from those stated for the UK.

You charge the system via the charging port that is easily accessible on the top of the bottom bracket shell.

The battery can reach up to 500 charging cycles while still retaining up to 90% of its capacity as long as its care and maintenance are adequate. For maximum efficiency, it is important to maintain a battery charge of between 20-80% of its total capacity. Charging the battery to 100% from fully depleted is one complete charging cycle. Similarly, topping up the battery from 80-100% capacity five times amounts to one complete charging cycle. If you are not using your bike for a period, you should always ensure that it is stored in a dry environment (out of direct sunlight) with a charge level of between 40-50%. Every two months, the bike should be charged fully. Take care not to leave the charger connected to the bike continuously; doing so could accelerate the degradation of battery life. Ideally, the charger should not be connected for more than 5 hours. Use only the original MAHLE charger supplied with your bike.

The Endurance SL e takes a press-fit style of BB, Shimano builds require an 86.5x41 BB and Sram a BB86.

The additional battery comes in the form of a bottle and is supplied with its own bottle cage. This replaces the seat tube mounted bottle cage (this cannot be mounted on the down tube); the charger then plugs into the charging port on top of the bottom bracket shell.

Due to the many different systems people use we do not supply pedals with bikes but you can find a great array of pedals here.
