Verdict: Great value for money city e-bike offering all-round performance

If you are familiar with the South-East, you might know Dallingridge as being the name of a 14th Century knight who built Bodiam Castle in East Sussex. The company's HQ looks out to the castle, hence the brand name.

MTF Enterprise are in fact the company behind Dallingridge. They've been in the e-bike biz for 17 years and have just released a range of four own-brand budget e-bikes comprising a folder, a trail style e-MTB, a crossbar hybrid and the step-thru model tested here - the Harlow. All four bikes are aimed at the budget market with a £999 - £1,249 price range and, as you would expect, use Far Eastern geared rear hub motors and cadence sensing only (no throttles), rather than the pricier and more refined torque sensing power systems. The Dallingridge range are distributed by Evolving Sports who are working with dealers across the country.
