• Its low step-through frame makes mounting and dismounting easier, particularly when stopping frequently around town.
• A Bafang 250W rear hub motor provides electric assistance as you pedal.
• Positioning the motor at the rear wheel keeps the drive system relatively straightforward and provides assistance without changing the familiar feel and operation of the bike's conventional drivetrain.
• The specification doesn't provide a maximum torque figure for the Bafang motor, so we've avoided quoting one rather than assuming an output that isn't confirmed for this model.
• Power comes from a 280Wh Bafang battery mounted neatly beneath the rear rack.
• Pendleton quotes an approximate range of 25 to 30 miles, although actual range will vary depending on assistance level, rider weight, terrain, weather and other riding conditions.
• A Bafang user interface provides control over the electric assistance.
• The supplied specification doesn't identify the exact display or remote model, so we've kept this information general rather than attributing features that may not be present.
• The Somerby-E uses Shimano Tourney 8-speed gearing, with an RD-TX800 rear derailleur and easy-to-use Revoshift control.
• A 38T Prowheel chainset is paired with a 13-32T 8-speed freewheel, providing a useful selection of gears for changing gradients and riding speeds.
• Tektro V-brakes provide straightforward braking at both wheels.
• Their simple mechanical design makes them easy to maintain, while giving predictable speed control for the everyday and leisure riding the Somerby-E is designed around.
• The 700c wheels use durable double-wall alloy rims and are fitted with 700x38c Kenda tyres.
• The relatively generous tyre width adds useful cushioning over uneven roads and paths while remaining well suited to everyday riding.
• Comfort is central to the Somerby-E's design.
• Its upright riding position provides a relaxed posture with good visibility ahead, while the deep-padded Pendleton saddle uses springs to help take the edge off bumps and rougher surfaces.
• Practical equipment comes fitted as standard.
• Full-length colour-matched mudguards help keep road spray away from you and the bike, while the chainguard helps protect clothing from the drivetrain.
• A rear luggage rack provides useful carrying space for shopping, work essentials or a compatible bag.
• The battery is integrated into the rack area, keeping the electrical system neatly packaged without taking away the bike's everyday carrying capability.
• A rigid steel fork keeps the front end simple and low maintenance, while the alloy quill stem and 640mm handlebar contribute to the comfortable, upright riding position.
• Flat resin pedals are included, so the bike comes equipped for everyday use without requiring specialist cycling footwear.
• At a stated 22kg, it's worth bearing the additional weight of the motor and battery in mind if you'll regularly need to carry the bike up steps or lift it into storage.
• Pendleton also provides a two-year warranty on the electrical system, adding reassurance for riders new to e-bikes.
• Overall, the Somerby-E is focused on accessible, comfortable transport, with electric assistance, practical accessories and simple components making it well suited to town riding, errands and relaxed weekend journeys.
