Overview
The Ribble CGR E Carbon-X Ultegra Di2 is a versatile all-terrain e-bike that blends comfort, control, and efficiency for mixed-surface riding. Its 250W motor with 40Nm torque provides smooth and controlled assistance, making it easy to manage on varied terrain, though it lacks the punch for steep climbs or heavy loads. The bike makes good use of its 350Wh battery, offering a practical range for daily use, but the non-removable battery means you'll need to keep the whole bike near a power source to recharge. With hydraulic disc brakes and a carbon frame, it feels responsive and well-built, though its weight and limited payload capacity mean it's better suited for lighter, more casual riding than serious off-road adventures.
Best For
✓
This all-terrain e-bike should suit riders who want a versatile machine for mixed surfaces and moderate off-road use, with a balance of comfort and performance. Its above-average power-to-weight ratio and responsive assistance make it a solid choice for riders prioritising efficient battery use and natural handling. The confident braking and suspension setup also make it a good fit for those who value control and comfort on rougher terrain. Riders looking for a reliable, well-equipped e-bike that can handle everyday use and light trail riding may find this model particularly appealing.
Who Should Avoid It
×
Riders who need a larger battery or stronger hill-climbing performance may want to compare alternatives, as the battery capacity is lower than similar all-terrain e-bikes and the torque is modest for steep inclines. Riders carrying heavier loads may also find utility-focused alternatives more suitable, as this bike’s max payload is on the lower side for its category. However, the bike still offers good braking confidence and a strong power-to-weight ratio, which may appeal to riders prioritising responsiveness and control over extended range or heavy hauling.

This all-terrain e-bike offers a smooth and predictable assistance feel, with a legal-style pedal assist system that should feel natural and responsive for mixed-surface riding. Next to similar e-bikes, its motor support is more modest, with less outright punch and torque than some alternatives, but the power-to-weight balance and efficient battery use should help it feel lively and effective in everyday use. The motor should provide reasonable climbing support and low-speed responsiveness, though it may feel less aggressive on steep hills or technical trails. With torque and cadence sensing, the assistance should feel well-tuned and controllable, making it a good fit for riders who prioritize efficiency, comfort and range over maximum power. The motor setup is likely to suit those looking for a balanced all-terrain e-bike that feels natural and efficient on a variety of surfaces.
This explanation is based on the bike’s motor power, torque, battery capacity, claimed range, charging
time, sensor type and how those figures compare with similar e-bikes in our database.
eBike FAQs
Is this bike suitable for long rides on mixed terrain?
This bike is a good choice for long rides on mixed terrain, thanks to its smooth power delivery and efficient battery use, which should keep you moving comfortably for a substantial distance. However, the 250W motor and 40Nm torque may feel less powerful when tackling steep hills or carrying heavier loads, so you may need to pace yourself on more challenging sections. The non-removable battery means you'll need to keep the bike near a charging point if you're planning extended trips away from home.
How does the motor perform when climbing hills?
The motor provides smooth and controlled assistance when climbing hills, thanks to the torque and cadence sensor. However, the motor power and torque are below average for similar e-bikes, which may make steep climbs feel slightly less responsive. The power-to-weight ratio is above average, which helps maintain performance on inclines, but riders should expect a more moderate level of hill support compared to bikes with stronger motors.
Does the bike offer good value for its price?
The bike offers a balanced mix of performance and practicality, but its value depends on your priorities. While it has strong battery efficiency and good braking confidence, the lower battery capacity and non-removable battery may limit convenience for some riders. The price is on the higher side compared to similar e-bikes, so it's best suited for buyers who prioritize efficiency, braking, and a good power-to-weight ratio over larger battery capacity or easier charging options.
How practical is this bike for daily commuting?
This bike should work well for daily commuting, especially on mixed terrain, thanks to its front and rear suspension and hydraulic disc brakes, which offer good stopping confidence in various conditions. The range of 87 miles is above average for similar e-bikes, which should cover most daily commutes without frequent recharging. However, the battery is not removable, so charging may be less convenient if you don't have access to a power source near your usual parking spots.
What is the battery range like for everyday use?
The bike offers a range of 87 miles on a single charge, which is above average for similar e-bikes, making it suitable for most daily commutes or longer rides on mixed terrain. However, the battery capacity is below average, so you may need to plan charging stops for extended trips. The battery is not removable, meaning you'll need to charge the bike near a power source, which could be a consideration for frequent riders.
Can I easily charge the battery if I'm away from home?
If you're away from home, charging the battery may be less convenient since it's not removable, meaning you'll need to bring the whole bike near a power source. However, the bike charges in 4 hours, which is faster than average for similar e-bikes, and its battery efficiency is strong, giving you a range of 87 miles on a single charge. This should help reduce how often you need to charge it, even on longer trips.
How comfortable is this bike for extended rides?
This bike should be comfortable for extended rides, especially on mixed terrain, thanks to its front and rear suspension that helps absorb shocks from rough roads and uneven surfaces. The 700c wheels and 40mm tires also contribute to a smoother ride. However, while the suspension improves comfort, the overall comfort may depend on the rider's personal preferences and the specific conditions of the ride.
What are the main limitations of this e-bike?
This e-bike is well-suited for mixed-terrain riding, but it has a few limitations to consider. The motor power and torque are below average for similar e-bikes, which may make climbing steep hills more challenging. Additionally, the battery capacity is lower than average, which could limit range on longer rides. The battery is also not removable, meaning you'll need to charge the whole bike near a power source, which may be inconvenient if you're away from home for extended periods.
