About the Dawes Arc E-Bike 2025 Model

The Dawes Arc foldable e-bike has had a complete makeover for 2025, combining a sleek new design with nearly double the battery range. But don’t worry - it still has the easy-fold features that have made it a hit with commuters and fans in the caravan, motorhome, and boating communities.

The 375Wh integrated battery gives you up to 40 miles (64km) of range and takes just 5 hours to recharge from empty. Paired with the trusted Bafang rear hub motor, which delivers 32Nm of torque, the Arc makes climbing steep hills a breeze and cruising on flat terrain effortless. Plus, it comes with a handy USB port so you can charge your phone or other gadgets when you’re parked up.

Switching between assist modes is simple with the backlit handlebar display, which also shows key stats like battery level, speed, and distance. Whether you’re commuting or exploring, you’re always in the know.

The bike is equipped with a Shimano Altus/Tourney 1x7 speed gearing system, featuring an upgraded trigger shifter for smooth and reliable gear changes. And when it’s time to stop, the mechanical disc brakes will give you confidence in any weather.

With 20” wheels, the Dawes Arc hits the sweet spot for comfort, stability, and speed. They’re larger than 16” wheels, making for a more comfortable ride, but still small enough to fold down compactly. The high-volume 20x2.40” tires even give you a suspension-like feel - without the extra weight.

Folding the Arc couldn’t be easier. In just three simple steps and under 15 seconds, it folds down small enough to stow away neatly. Foldable pedals, a collapsible stem, and a hinged frame make it super portable for storage or transport.

The lightweight alloy frame means it’s easy to lift onto public transport or into a car. Thanks to its adjustable stem and smart one-size-fits-all geometry, the Arc suits riders from 5’0” to 6’2” (152cm to 188cm).

To top it off, the Dawes Arc is kitted out with everything you need for year-round riding: a pannier rack, full-length mudguards, and a kickstand are all included as standard. Perfect for commuting or weekend adventures!

About Us


Welcome to ChilledRides.co.uk, the UK home for electric bikes and electric scooters. Our journey began with a simple mission: to bring top-quality, eco-friendly rides to UK enthusiasts at competitive prices, supported by caring, friendly and professional pre-sale and after-sale support.
 

Our Story

It all started with a long weekend in Lisbon with a couple of friends. We wanted to make the most of our 3 days there, so as part of our stay, our friends Neil and Laura suggested a bike tour of the oldest part of the city, Alfama. But not only is Alfama the oldest and possibly most beautiful part of Lisbon, it's also the hilliest...

So, instead of a traditional bike tour, they booked us an e-bike tour! For my wife and me, this was our very first time riding an electric bike - and we loved it. Effortlessly peddling up steep hills and being able to enjoy the panoramic views at the top without having to bust a gut to get there was a unique and amazing feeling.

As soon as we got back home to the UK, we knew we wanted to spread the word to the whole country...we had become e-bike evangelists!
 
Us with the rest of the group, about to head into Alfama!:

Our Vision

We created Chilled Rides to bring the e-bike revolution to the UK. We believe that something so beneficial to the planet (and so much FUN!) should be shouted about and embraced. We love electric bikes because, as well as being an eco-friendly way to travel, we believe they can help everyone just chill out a bit more...both things this world really needs right now!
 

Why Choose Us

We chose the name Chilled Rides for a reason - we don't just want to help our customers experience having relaxed, electric-powered rides on an e-bike or scooter, but to also make sure your whole experience with us is smooth and hassle-free. No stress, no worries, no headaches. We make sure to only work with the highest quality manufacturers, with UK warehouses to ensure our customers get fast delivery, and we're passionate about making your experience with us the very best.

It's easy for companies to say they value customer experience above everything else, but we know that unfortunately you can't always believe what retailers tell you. But we believe that actions speak louder than words and our aim is to surprise and impress all of our customers.

Occasional hiccups and delays are a part of life, but we see these as an opportunity to prove our dedication to customer service - a chance to stand out from our competition and give you such a smooth and chilled out experience you'll want to share it with everyone you know!

Our CEO & Founder



Hi I'm Steve, CEO at ChilledRides.co.uk. After 20 years working in telecoms and software sales, and seeing how technology paired with excellent customer service can be used as a force for good, I founded Chilled Rides to help the planet move towards a greener future and help people of all ages and abilities become more active and have fun at the same time.

I have a teenage daughter of my own and I want to make the world a better place for her and future generations. We hear about carbon emissions and global warming every day, and I believe the e-bike revolution is a huge and very easy way we can help protect our planet and create a sustainable future for ourselves, our children and our grandchildren.

  • James P.

    Was a little dubious at first due to a lack of reviews about the website, but they turned out to be incredibly helpful. They kept me updated throughout the process, the delivery was quick and they were able to adjust last minute to deliver to my neighbour, as a result of me not being home to receive the the delivery.

  • Aaron R.

    Quick delivery and good customer service.

  • Marie W.

    Everything about the bike was perfect and just what we wanted.

  • Jack M.

    Very honest and reliable company with top notch communication throughout my order. When I received the product it was just as I expected, very neatly packaged safe and secure and the bike is absolutely amazing. Couldn't recommend this company enough!
