The E-Raft is an e-mountain bike designed for riders who want to enhance their trail rides while preserving the pure feeling of mountain biking. It is built for active riders who enjoy putting in the work, with electrical assistance that complements rather than replaces their effort.
The Bosch Performance Line SX drive unit delivers smooth and natural support, helping the rider stay focused on line choice, traction and rhythm. Combined with the bike’s low system weight and 140 mm of suspension travel, the E-Raft maintains a ride feel that is very close to that of a non-assisted MTB — agile, responsive and playful.
A fully integrated 400 Wh battery provides enough capacity to maximize the riding experience, making it possible to cover meaningful distances or gain extra elevation without compromising weight or handling.
For practical usability, Ridley opted for semi-internal cable routing. By avoiding routing cables and hoses through the headset, maintenance is simplified while keeping the cockpit clean and functional — a choice that reflects the E-Raft’s focus on real-world riding and long-term reliability.
The E-Raft is Ridley’s light e-mountain bike platform, created to deliver a riding experience that stays as close as possible to that of a non-assisted trail bike. By combining a lightweight full-suspension chassis with a compact and efficient e-system, the E-Raft focuses on balance, control and ride quality rather than brute force.
At the core of the platform is the Bosch Performance Line SX drive unit. Its smooth and natural power delivery provides assistance that feels intuitive and well balanced, allowing the rider to stay fully engaged with the trail. The assistance supports your effort without overpowering it, keeping the riding experience dynamic and authentic.
With 140 mm of suspension travel, 29” wheels and a low overall system weight, the E-Raft platform offers a trail-focused setup that mirrors the handling and responsiveness of a traditional mountain bike — with just enough electrical support to extend the ride.
