Test ride our bikes
Manufactured in Cambridge, the Abington Electric is a sleek and sporty town bike designed by ARCC. Fitted with the Gates Carbon Belt Drive, the Abington Electric provides a smooth and responsive ride paired to a low-maintenance and lightweight frame.
Its flowing lines are crafted from custom-drawn Reynolds Technology steel tubing and hand brazed in the UK. Machined stainless steel dropouts allow for a variety of drivetrain options and combine with large 650b x 38 tyres to provide a wonderfully comfortable, yet responsive ride.
The Intelligent Drive Pod has been designed by ARCC to provide unique intelligent bike power. It combines variable power levels with automatic hill/gradient compensation which allows commuting cyclists to choose the amount of effort both they and the motor provides; automatically compensates for hills and gradients; and provides ‘launch control’, for safety when moving away from lights and crossings in heavy traffic.
The pod uses an industry standard 4.0 Ah or 6.0 Ah Bosch battery, which are readily available from stores and online, and have a range of up to 55km dependant on the battery used. When the battery is removed, the e-bike reverts to its standard configuration and can be used as a regular bike.
Available in a range of colours, there is a configuration to suit all riders.
We offer a 5-year frame warranty on all Abington Electric bikes.
As well as being fully customisable to suit your needs, custom RAL colours are also available for an additional cost of £250 per bike.
If the configuration you would like is not listed in the 'Build Your Bike' section please submit your enquiry via the 'Contact Us' page or call us on 01223 893 290.
