Ridley RES U500 Altus Womens Urban E-Bike

The RES U500 Altus Womens Urban electric bike (E-Bike) from Ridley features a durable and lightweight step-through style frame for easy access on and off the bike. Ideal for inner-city errands, daily commutes and weekend countryside adventures, this bike is convenient for daily journeys in and around the city. It is equipped with a Shimano E5000 electric motor drive with a mid-integrated battery – this ensures a stable and easy-to-control riding experience. And Ridley has also fitted it with a reliable and smooth-shifting Shimano Altus 9-Speed groupset and powerful Shimano MT200 hydraulic disc brakes.

Agile, Durable and Lightweight Electric Urban Bike

A comfortable, reliable and lightweight E-Bike. That’s the RES U500. This E-Bike is lighter than most E-Bikes because the battery is located on the frame. This not only ensures better weight distribution and therefore better bike handling, but it also makes it possible to take the battery with you (for recharging).

Adjustable, Comfortable and Versatile E-Bike

The U500 is equipped with four levels of support. You can easily adjust the bicycle: change the saddle height and handlebar angle to set your ideal riding position. The handles of the bike are ergonomic and rotatable, so you can find the best position for yourself. The Continental tyres have low rolling resistance and double puncture protection with good cushioning. In addition, the geometry ensures that you can ride comfortably.

Shimano E5000 Electric Motor Drive

The battery has a range of approximately 70 kilometres. The U500 is equipped with a Shimano 5000 mid-motor, one of the most well-known motor systems built by Shimano. The mid-mounted motor and geometry of the U500 provide a stable and reliable riding experience. The bike is easily connected to Shimano’s E-Tube app which allows you to see how full the battery is, install software updates and change settings.

The U500 is an ergonomic E-Bike with maximum comfort, perfect for commuting, a quick errand in the city centre or a recreational cycling tour.

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.

Removeable Battery

That makes it possible to carry the battery and charge it at any place where you have power available.

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.

Adjustable Comfort to Suit Every Rider

To adjust your ride to the most comfortable position, there is a possibility to adjust the saddle for the ideal height. The adjustable stem can lift the handlebar for a straighter back position and the adjustable grips for the best placement for your hands. This is in combination with Ridley’s E-bike-specific tyre that reduces shocks and enhances traction and grip for maximum rider comfort and control.

Convenient and Durable Rear Carrier Rack

The RES E-bikes are equipped with a strong carrier where you can carry up to 15kg of cargo. There is also a possibility to add bags or other attachments to this rack to make your journey versatile.

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.
