Raleigh ONE ST: Low-step version of the connected city e-bike unveiled

​With the Raleigh ONE ST, Raleigh is expanding its e-bike range to include a low-step model. This urban e-bike features the same technical specifications as the previous model, but the new frame design is intended to make it easier to get on and off in everyday use.

​With the Raleigh ONE ST, Raleigh is expanding its range of urban e-bikes to include a model with a low-step frame. The new model is based on the the Raleigh ONE, which is already available and is aimed at users who value the ease of getting on and off in city traffic.

Low-step entry for urban use

The new aluminium frame with a step-through design is intended to offer particular benefits in the typical stop-and-go situations of city traffic. The geometry is designed for an upright riding position and, according to the manufacturer, is suitable for riders between 155 and 180 centimetres tall.

In terms of the drive system, Raleigh continues to rely on a Mivice rear-wheel hub motor with an output of 250 watts and 35 Newton-metres of torque. An integrated torque sensor adjusts the motor assistance to match the rider’s pedalling effort. Power is supplied by a removable 360 Wh battery, which can be charged either on the bike or separately.

The range specified by the manufacturer is between 50 and 60 kilometres per battery charge at assistance levels three to four. A full charge is said to take around two hours.

Revised lighting system

The lighting has also been redesigned for the 2026 model year. The car features two front lights with daytime running lights and full-beam functions, as well as a newly designed rear light designed to improve visibility on the road.

The manufacturer states that the total weight of the Raleigh ONE ST is 21 kilograms.

Connected features via the app

Like the Raleigh ONE, which is already available, the low-step version also connects to the Raleigh app. Among other things, this allows you to customise various assistance modes. In addition, Raleigh offers a multi-tiered membership model with different levels of functionality. The basic version is included in the purchase price, whilst advanced features and additional safety and insurance cover are available via paid subscription plans.

​Strengths of the model

• Torque sensor provides a more natural riding experience compared to standard cadence sensors
• Fast charging time of just around 2 hours with a removable battery
• Integrated lighting with daytime running light and main beam modes

Key points

• Only one frame size (155–180 cm) excludes shorter and taller people
• 35 Nm torque is at the lower end of the scale – some competitors offer 60–85 Nm
• App addiction The inclusion of paid tiers for advanced features raises questions about long-term availability
• 21 kg is an average figure for a city e-bike, but not a low one

Classification

The ONE Step Through is positioned as an entry-level city e-bike in the mid-price range. The price of 2,399 euros is in line with market rates for the features on offer, though more discerning urban commuters might prefer more powerful alternatives. ​What is intended to set Raleigh apart from the competition is an integrated app ecosystem featuring a torque sensor and adaptive motor control, although some core functions are only accessible via a subscription model – prospective buyers should take a close look at this.
