Electric Mountain Bikes

Bike type

Men and women’s bikes have differently shaped top tubes.

• Women’s e-mountain bikes have a lowered top tube for easier mounting.
• Men's models are generally taller. Of course, men’s bikes are perfectly suitable for women as well if the height fits—just make sure the bike size matches your stature. Check the product description for details about the size.

Wheel diameter

Bikes with large wheels are faster and handle rough terrain better. Smaller wheels are better suited for technically demanding paths and bike tracks.

• 27.5" wheels are suited for short and average-height cyclists (140-180 cm) and fans of difficult terrain.
• 29” wheels are more suitable for tall cyclists (170-200 cm), who prefer fast rides on paved roads in light and medium difficult terrain.

Motor mounting position

E-bikes have several types of motor mounting configurations and each of them affects riding performance and handling differently.

E-bikes with a mid-drive system are easier to control, the ride is smoother, and they are better balanced than e-bikes with a front or rear hub drive.

Rear suspension

• Hardtail or classic mountain bikes are lighter and easier to maintain.
• Rear suspension makes the bike more comfortable, but also heavier and more demanding when it comes to maintenance and purchase cost.

For downhill bikes, suspension is a must have, as it enables you ride down virtually any hill you can find.
