eMTB (mountain bike with an integrated motor ) ??

It’s no secret that the eMTB market has seen rapid growth in the last five years. It’s also fair to state that the very first generation of eMTB only had limited attraction to trail or endurance fans. The game has evolved. It is now possible to purchase an electric bike that weighs less than 17 kilograms, which is about the same weight as the larger enduro bikes on the market.

It’s likely that you’re well aware and perhaps had an E-curious moment with E-MOUNTAINBIKE Magazine, our sister publication? If not, your logical assumptions about eMTBs as fragile, clumsy, and heavy require a refresh. If you believe that eMTB is only for the overweight and lazy, then talk to racing legends such as Jerome Clementz and Fabian Barel or even the shredders of today such as Olly Wilkins or Sam Pilgrim. They’re all having fun using their electronic bikes.

We’re not trying to sell you an eMTB.

Our editorial team is a fan of both mountain bikes and eMTBs each of them enhancing the range and potential that our sports offer. In the present, with ENDURO and E-MOUNTAINBIKE magazines working in complete harmony, there’s no agenda or a motivation to favor either over the other. We just want to ensure you’re riding the most appropriate bikes to meet your requirements. In our ride-mad editors who have access to both choices, we do have certain riders who prefer to use eMTBs and others who prefer analog bikes for personal riding, and others who choose to combine both. The benefits of eMTBs are obvious: you’ll be able to ride longer in a shorter amount of time, cover more ground and be able to do more descending in a shorter time. But, some of our team members still like taking turns and enjoy the simple pleasure of moving through the day on only leg power. In the case of eMTB or mountain bikes, there’s no ideal solution for everyone. However, for all, there is an ideal choice.

Everything you must be aware of about eMTBs in one paragraph

EMTB’s do not have a throttle, but they do have an additional amount of power when you ride up to a maximum speed at 25km/h (in Europe). Modern eMTBs generally utilize the same components as traditional bicycles, and the majority of contemporary motors (see our motor group test) allow for resistance-free pedaling beyond the speed limit of 25 km/h. off. There are three primary kinds of eMTBs.

Power eMTBs with huge performance and torque. The SUVs of the bike world, Power eMTBs are heavy and unwieldy off the road but can push you up the hill with no complaints. There are also All-around eMTBs, which offer plenty of power, but are smaller 20-25kg bikes that provide a balanced performance both up and down.

The majority of mountain bikers appreciate the brand new Light eMTB class that offers non-motorized bicycle handling and agility which is possible thanks to smaller batteries and lower levels of support. All-round eMTBs are ideal for riders who wish to enjoy long rides as well as take on demanding uphills. While lighter eMTBs will appeal to riders who prefer to go downhills and prefer riding with other riders who don’t have eMTBs.

The various categories of eMTB have enough variety to allow for the typical riding (think two-hour rides) which we like. If you’re interested in learning more about eMTBs you must read our eMTB buyers’ guide.

The status quo EMTBs are amazing

EMTB’s have advanced rapidly and you now can get everything you want for both up and down-. The most powerful bikes such as that of Specialized Turbo Kenevo Expert and Whyte E-180 RS V1 can tackle the most challenging downhill terrain, while light bikes such as that of Specialized Levo SL boast agile handling and are able to compete with the top trails bikes as our group test has demonstrated. We compared the Specialized Levo SL against 15 of the top bikes in our trail bike 2020 group test. In the end, many members of the participants were left wondering why we’d buy a bike with no motor. If you’re planning an investment in a new bike this year, the choice has definitely become a lot more difficult.
