Raleigh is a bicycle brand based in the United Kingdom that builds city and trekking bikes. It is owned by the Dutch company Accell Group, which lists Raleigh among the brands in its portfolio on its own website. In April 2026 Accell said it would present a sharpened portfolio built around five brands, including Raleigh alongside Lapierre, Haibike, Batavus and Winora.

How to check on your own bike
- Look at what is cast or printed on the motor housing near the bottom bracket, which usually shows the motor maker's name or logo.
- Check the display unit on the handlebar or stem, where the brand and model name on the screen identifies the system.
- See whether the bike pairs with a smartphone app and note the app name, as it typically matches the drive system.
- Read the type plate, usually on the frame near the bottom bracket or head tube, and the original invoice, which list the drive system and component numbers.
- Compare what you found with the service documents or the manual that came with the bike.
