Dawes Elegance Heritage Low-Step Hybrid E-Bike

Dawes lists one 47cm low-step frame with 700c wheels and a recommended rider-height range of 5ft 0in to 5ft 10in (152–178cm). This is a guide, not a guaranteed fit: check saddle-height adjustment, inside-leg clearance, reach to the swept-back bars and safe brake control. The adjustable stem allows some cockpit tuning. Please contact North Sports if you are near either end of the published range.

Availability and delivery timing must be confirmed with North Sports for your selected model and frame size before a date is promised. At the time of review our store's tracked stock is negative (-1); this figure does not confirm current supplier availability. Any displayed delivery estimate is indicative until an order has been checked.

Tandem Group Cycles says its direct-delivery electric bikes are assembled and checked by its mechanics before being protected and re-boxed for courier delivery. They are described as “built and ready to ride”, but minor completion steps are still required on receipt, including aligning and securing the handlebar, fitting the remaining pedal if supplied separately, adjusting the saddle and checking all adjusted fasteners. Read the included instructions, charge the battery as recommended and complete a pre-ride safety check. If you are unsure, have a competent bicycle mechanic complete the checks. Supplier direct-delivery terms and costs are not themselves a promise of North Sports' checkout options. Ask us to confirm the service and timing for your postcode before ordering.
