What to look for in an electric mountain bike

When searching for the perfect electric mountain bike, it's important to consider several key features to ensure it meets your specific needs and preferences. For the motor, our electric bikes use a high-quality 250W EverDrive Motor, alongside a 36v internal battery, offering safety, power and longevity. The suspension system also plays a crucial role in providing a comfortable and controlled ride. Electric mountain bikes may have either dual suspension (front and rear) or regular suspension (front only). Dual suspension bikes offer enhanced shock absorption, improving traction and stability on rough terrains. Regular suspension bikes are suitable for less aggressive trails and offer simplicity and efficiency.

The choice of tyres depends on the type of terrain you'll be riding on. Wider tyres with aggressive tread patterns provide better grip and traction on off-road trails, while narrower and smoother tyres are more suitable for urban environments and paved surfaces. Consider the terrain you'll be riding on the most and choose tyres accordingly. Electric mountain bike frames are available in various materials. Most of our electric mountain bikes are built with a durable, lightweight aluminium alloy frame. This produces a bike frame that is built to last, while remaining nimble and agile. Electric mountain bikes come with different gear configurations, including single-speed, internally geared hubs, and traditional derailleur systems.

Consider your riding style, the type of trails you'll be exploring, and your level of experience when selecting the appropriate features for your electric mountain bike.
