Where the Raleigh Motus focused on urban commuting and reliability, the Novus takes things a step further, with a lighter frame, more versatile geometry and a motor and battery set-up that can handle longer rides and varied terrain.

Orbea and Trek are two of the most respected names in modern cycling, each taking a very different approach to bike design, construction and riding experience.
