We've been listening. We've been tuning. Quietly, like we do.
WHAT CHANGES
A quiet update to the Raleigh ONE app, and a ride that suddenly feels like it's been reading your mind. We call it Boost. It's not a new bike. It's not a new claim. It's the same bike you already trust, just paying closer attention.
Hills, sorted.
More support exactly where the gradient bites. Medium and steep terrain, handled. The hill doesn't get smaller. It just stops being the point.
A start that feels like yours.
Faster, more natural acceleration. Power arrives the way you'd expect it to, especially useful at the lights or from a standing start. No hesitation, no lurch. Just go.
A top speed that eases, not ends.
Assistance tapers off gradually as you near the limit, instead of switching off like someone pulled the plug. You feel the ride settle, not stop.
The same bike you already trust.
No change to peak power, torque, battery, or EU compliance. This is refinement. Not a rebrand. We didn't touch what works. We tuned what didn't.
HOW MUCH IT COSTS YOU
Nothing. Boost is free, live now in the latest Raleigh ONE app.
TURN IT ON: RALEIGH APP > SETTINGS > TOGGLE BOOST
That's it. That's the announcement. We told you we don't shout.
Q&A
WHAT IS BOOST?
Boost is an update to your Raleigh ONE's motor assist system. It fine-tunes how support is delivered, more help on hills and at low pedaling speeds, and a smoother transition as you reach the speed limit — for a more natural, comfortable ride.
DOES BOOST MAKE MY BIKE MORE POWERFUL?
No. Boost doesn't increase the bike's peak motor power or maximum torque. Your Raleigh ONE still operates within the same performance envelope as before. The update changes how that power is delivered, not how much is available.
WILL BOOST DRAIN MY BATTERY FASTER?
No. Battery consumption at peak output is unchanged. You get a better riding feel with no trade-off in range.
IS BOOST STILL ROAD-LEGAL / EU COMPLIANT?
Yes. Boost continues to operate under the same EU 250W regulation, the same thermal protection strategy, and the same power derating and safety mechanisms as before. Nothing about the bike's certification or safety functions has changed.
WILL BOOST AFFECT MY BIKE'S RELIABILITY OR COMPONENTS?
No. The system runs within the same thermal behavior and puts no additional stress on the motor. Hardware reliability stays the same.
HOW DO I GET BOOST?
Boost arrives with the new update of the Raleigh app (Version 15.1). Once updated, you'll see the Boost button on your home screen and can switch whenever you want.
DOES BOOST WORK THE SAME IN EVERY RIDING MODE?
Boost is tuned across all assist levels, with the most noticeable improvement in Medium and Hilly areas, where support is needed the most.
DO I NEED TO CHANGE HOW I RIDE?
Not at all. Boost is designed to feel intuitive from the first ride: more confident starting off, better support on climbs, and a smoother feel as you reach top speed.
CAN I SWITCH BOOST ON OR OFF WHILE I'M RIDING?
Yes. Switch to Boost mid-ride, just like switching between any other assist level. No need to stop or restart your bike.
