Varsity Oxford Electric Courier Bike

We’re proud to be recognised by Cycling News as one of the "Bicycle Companies We Trust". Our classic, steel-frame bikes are designed and built to order in the UK, using carefully selected components sourced from around the world. Purpose-built for commuters, they combine timeless style with everyday practicality.

With our love for a clean looking, vintage, steel framed bike, we never imagined that we would ever bring an e-Quella to the market. The truth is we don't like huge, heavy e-bikes with massive frames. We like bikes that look like ours! Our partnership with ZEHUS enabled us to develop one of the lightest e-bikes on the road with a 250watt motor and battery built into a fantastic-looking rear hub. No cables, just a remote app that links to your phone with all your ride data, 3 power modes and a built-in rear wheel immobiliser feature. It's a high-tech solution in a vintage bike that will turn heads wherever you go.

What happens when you take the Quella Nero and send it to one of Britain’s most prestigious universities? You get the Quella Varsity Oxford the same fast, fun, and low-maintenance track-inspired ride, now with a degree in style. Finished in a royal blue with elegant tan accents, it brings a touch of sophistication to the street without losing its playful edge. Refined, distinctive, and built for city life, it’s a class act on two wheels.

The Courier range is the origin of the brand, fast Streetwise Urban Bikes, that utilises bull horn style bars and straight stem matched with our racing saddle for a more sports/aggressive riding style. If you prefer are more upright/easy riding style then check-out our 'Classic' model with riser style handlebars.
