Finding an electric bike that truly feels at home on both muddy weekend trails and Monday-morning commutes isn’t always easy. Some models are built purely for off-road adventuring, while others lean heavily into urban use. What’s refreshing about Claud Butler’s electric mountain bike range is that it comfortably sits in the middle, giving UK riders a practical, rugged and surprisingly affordable “all-rounder” option.
Built on Trusted British Heritage
Claud Butler has been building bikes for British riders for decades, earning a reputation for straightforward craftsmanship and reliable construction.
While the brand has evolved with the times, its core values haven’t changed and that shows in the latest crop of electric bikes. These models aren’t trying to be flashy. They’re designed to do the job, day in and day out, whether that’s navigating towpaths, tackling country trails or simply getting to work without arriving sweaty.
What Makes the Claud Butler E-Bike Range Stand Out
-
Built for Real-World UK Conditions – Every model in the line-up is powered by a responsive Bafang 250 W rear hub motor, tuned for British gradients and mixed surfaces. The batteries — from Panasonic or Samsung — are removable, allowing riders to charge indoors at home or in the office. Crucially, the setup stays fully UK-road legal, with top-assisted speeds limited to 15.5 mph.
-
Comfort That Goes Beyond the Weekend – Depending on the model, you’ll find 100–120 mm suspension forks, wide handlebars and either 27.5″ or 29″ wheels fitted with chunky, multi-purpose tyres. In practice, this means less chatter on gravel tracks and far less jarring when riding over potholes and uneven city roads.
- Reliable Components, No Complications – Shimano drivetrains deliver smooth shifting, the disc brakes (hydraulic or mechanical, depending on model) give confident stopping performance in wet conditions, and walk-assist plus easy-to-read LCD displays make everyday use genuinely straightforward.
| Model | Ideal For |
|---|---|
| Ridge 1.0 | Everyday riders who occasionally hit the trails |
| Ridge 2.0 | Riders wanting a higher-spec all-rounder with upgraded features |
| Wrath 1.0 | Regular commuters who want more control and comfort |
| Wrath 2.0 | Longer-distance riders and weekend explorers |
Ridge 1.0 – Versatile and Approachable
With its 27.5″ wheels, wider tyres and 120 mm suspension fork, the Ridge 1.0 feels stable and comfortable across a variety of surfaces. It’s the kind of e-bike that adapts naturally to changing riding habits.
Ridge 2.0 – Higher-Spec All-Rounder
The Ridge 2.0 builds on the same versatile platform as the Ridge 1.0 but upgrades key components to deliver smoother performance and better trail capability. With improved gearing, enhanced braking and refined finishing kit, it’s ideal for riders who want a little more performance without going full “mountain bike”.
Wrath 1.0 – A Step Up for Confident Daily Riding
The Wrath 1.0 adds a Shimano Cues drivetrain and hydraulic disc brakes, paired with 29″ wheels for improved traction and speed. It’s an excellent choice for riders who split their time evenly between asphalt and gravel.
Wrath 2.0 – More Power, More Range, More Capability
With a larger 540 Wh Samsung battery and higher torque output, the Wrath 2.0 is built for longer distances and steeper climbs. It’s ideal for riders who don’t want their e-bike to hold them back — from weekday commute to weekend adventure.
Turning Specs into Real-World Benefits
- Big battery = fewer charging sessions
- Hydraulic brakes = safer stopping, even in rain
- Wide gear range = easier hill climbing without sweating
- Suspension + wide tyres = comfort over rough British roads and trails
Each of these features solves a real-life problem faced by UK riders — and that’s why Claud Butler’s electric MTB line feels so useful in everyday use.
Final Thoughts
These electric mountain bikes offer honest performance, solid build quality and a level of everyday practicality that’s hard to find at this price point. Whether you’re tackling a muddy bridleway or battling through stop-start city traffic, they’re built to handle both and quietly get the job done.
