Rear Wheel Electric Motordrive

The RES U400 is powered by a rear-wheel motor. The motor is just as powerful as a mid-motor system, but has a big advantage: it is lighter in weight. The integrated battery also contributes to the light weight of the bicycle.

The hydraulic disc brakes, LED lights on the front and back, and reflective stickers provide extra safety on the bike. The U400 is not only stylish but also comfortable. The wide tyres provide good cushioning. With the geometry of the U400, you are assured of maximum comfort while riding.

Visibility and Safety

The certified lock with a safety label keeps your bike safe when it is parked, The mounted lights on the RES will improve your visibility not only for the rider but also for the all-around traffic. Ridley also added reflective decals as an extra safety feature that will light up when you are spotted in bad or dark weather.

Integrated Battery

An integrated battery makes the bike look cleaner and it has the benefit of not getting any dirt to the electric internals. Also when cleaning the bike or riding in rainy weather the battery stays dry making sure the electric parts are safe and u are good to go in any dry, sandy, wet terrain.

All Weather Disc Brake Performance Reliability

Disc brakes are one of the newest game-changing evolutions in road cycling. They add that extra level of security to any ride, knowing that you can always stop on demand. They are equally reliable in all weather conditions. The ease of braking is a real bonus, especially when your hands are frozen and barely functional. Just a light pull on the lever to modulate your speed. With no need for braking on the rim surface, wear and tear are reduced. This gets you much more mileage from your wheelset.

Convenient and Durable Rear Carrier Rack

Easy Assembly

When you order a bike, one of our trained mechanics will carefully prepare and pack your bike for shipping. Upon delivery, the assembly is simple and all necessary tools and plastic pedals are conveniently included in the box.

Depending on the delivery service and destination, bikes will either be delivered in a large or a small box. Below is a guide as to how your bike will arrive:

• All bikes for delivery within the UK and Republic of Ireland will be delivered in a large box, except for balance bikes and BMX bikes, which are always delivered in manufacturer’s boxes.
• All bikes for delivery within the EU on a standard service will be delivered in a large box. If an express delivery option is chosen, your bike will be packed into a small box. Again, the exception is balance bikes and BMX bikes, which are always delivered in manufacturer’s boxes.
• All bikes for worldwide delivery outside the EU will be delivered in small boxes.
