With our Compact Hybrid, getting around town can be a pleasure rather than a chore. The clever, compact design - the clue is in the name - and Bosch drive system with simple, easy-to-use 5-speed hub gears make dodging traffic a breeze. There's a rack for all your essentials, a kickstand for easy parking, mudguards to help keep you dry and a lighting system so you can see and be seen. Powerful hydraulic disc brakes ensure you're safe in all weathers, and the easily adjustable handlebar makes it quick and easy to get a comfortable riding position. You'll wonder how you managed without it.

Frame and equipment

Sometimes the simplest solutions are the best. The Compact Hybrid's cross-braced downtube is elegant, stiff and strong. It also makes this an easy bike to step in and out of, as well as providing a convenient carry handle. A long headtube ensures accurate, safe steering, whilst the smooth and powerful Bosch drive unit lives in a custom housing at the bottom of the frame - and we tucked the battery out of the way of both luggage and rider. Quick saddle and handlebar adjustments allow one bike to fit a wide range of riders, too. It might not usher in a revolution in urban transport, but we like to think it's part of the solution.
