Claud Butler Explorer 1.0 EQ Low Step Hybrid Bike, 16" Blue

The Explorer EQ in a step-through frame — full-length chromoplastic mudguards and a 20kg rear carrier fitted as standard, with a dropped top tube so you can get on and off in whatever you're wearing.

Who it fits

16" low step frame. As a general guide that suits most riders around 5'0" to 5'5", with the 18" low step above it. Worth choosing if you ride in work clothes or a skirt, carry a loaded rack, or have any hip, knee or back restriction.

What you're getting

• Gears: 18 speed Shimano — plenty of range for hills and flat riding alike
• Brakes: V-brakes, easy to adjust and cheap to maintain
• Fitted as standard: full-length chromoplastic mudguards and a rear carrier rated to 20kg
• Frame: lightweight alloy low step with relaxed hybrid geometry for an upright, comfortable position

Why we can price like this

We're an authorised Claud Butler dealer — but we don't run a shop.

No showroom. No shop floor. No stock sitting in a warehouse depreciating. Your bike is picked and dispatched from the manufacturer's own facility and comes straight to your door.

A traditional bike shop has to cover premises, staff and stockholding before it makes a penny, and that has to come out of the ticket price. We don't carry those costs, so we're not asking you to pay for them.

What you don't lose: full manufacturer warranty, because we're an authorised dealer and not a grey importer. A real person to talk sizing through with before you order. And the option of a professional build so it arrives ready to ride.

Delivery and build

Free UK mainland delivery. Bikes ship boxed and part-assembled as standard. Add our professional build and safety check at checkout and a qualified mechanic assembles, adjusts and safety-checks the bike before it leaves — a real workshop job, and entirely optional.

Klarna and Clearpay available on any order value.
