e-Mountainbike - for electrifying experiences offroad
With the e-mountain bike, no mountain is too steep. The fun factor is all the greater for it.
Condemned by some, idolized by others. This is how you could describe the standing of e-mountain bikes, which have now become a permanent fixture in the bike family and will continue to gain in importance in the future. Flowing downhills over edgy rocks, damp roots and through tough mud, as well as action-packed, adrenaline-pumping and tricky jumps - with these sporty all-rounders, such interludes are no problem. The e-mountain bike is the perfect ride off the road.
At the latest, once you've flown up a previously almost insurmountable climb on a sleek E-MTB with a bulging battery, you won't want to miss this feeling. And a sleek E-MTB also cuts a convincing figure on the way to work.
Off-road with motor power from Yamaha, Bosch and Panasonic
While electric motors and batteries were still very heavy a few years ago, the innovation forges of Bosch, Panasonic, Yamaha and others are currently doing their best work and are bringing ever lighter material onto the market. And so an e-mountain bike can be comfortably ridden uphill even without motor assistance thanks to a wide range of gear ratios in the high-quality shifting systems. The up to 250 watt motors support you up to a speed of 25 km/h and last between 50 and 100 kilometers with a balanced riding style thanks to potent 500 watt-hour batteries. With a weight of approx. 20 - 23 kg, the bikes, which are hardly inferior to a normal mountain bike in terms of agility and handling, also impress with excellent traction on any surface.
E-mountain bikes for every taste
You love to be off-piste and experience unforgettable moments in nature? Are sporty ambitions just as important to you as riding fun and pushing boundaries? Then the e-mountain bike is your perfect companion. Experience the lightness of the built-in tailwind while enjoying puristic off-road fun without much effort. Click through our electrifying offers and start into a new dimension of mountain biking.
Even if inner values such as the unbridled power of the electric motor, the better directional stability compared to conventional mountain bikes and the powerful brakes from Shimano, Tektro and others play a major role in e-mountain biking, the look is also crucial. Here, too, a lot has happened in recent years, because for a long time now the design and functionality range has been at least as diverse as in the field of non-motorized MTBs. Whether straight, s-shaped or steeply sloping top tube, whether fully or hardtail, with us you will find exactly the e-mountain bike that suits you.
Branded e-mountain bikes from all-mountain to downhillers
Just like the e-bike, there is no such thing as the e-mountain bike. E-MTBs differ massively in their design and equipment. From the e-mountain bike hardtail for bike purists and sporty everyday cyclists to the full-suspension e-mountain bike fullsuspension for maximum off-road capability on gravel roads and narrow trails, we leave nothing to be desired. Our assortment ranges from all-rounders like the classic all-mountain to enduro bikes and gritty downhill bikes for adrenaline fans and bike park enthusiasts. In our store, we rely on strong brands. Whether an e-mountain bike from Cube, an e-mountain bike from Mondraker or an e-mountain bike from Haibike - you'll find it here!
For whom is an e-mountain bike suitable?
No matter whether an e-mountain bike from Cube, Flyer, Haibike, Mondraker or Rotwild. E-MTBs are ferry bikes for anyone who likes it both sporty and comfortable off-road. Especially those who are looking for fun rather than physical borderline experiences are well served with an E-MTB. But bikers who are inhibited by knee problems, insufficient fitness, their age or health restrictions also get their money's worth with an e-mountain bike. As a sporty commuter bike and all-purpose bike, E-MTBs also cut a fine figure.
FAQ:
Which e-mountain bike is right for me?
Bike and biker form an inseparable unit in the terrain. But this only works if the bike fits you and your needs. Fully or hardtail? Rear engine or mid-engine? How large should the suspension travel be? Which wheels are optimal? And what about the battery capacity? - We answer the most important questions!
What should it be - rear or mid-mounted motor?
With e-mountain bikes, everything revolves around the question "mid- or rear-mounted motor"? The drive question is important not least because of the completely different handling between the two designs. In the case of the E-MTB with rear-mounted motor, the drive can be found on the rear triangle. Such e-bikes often have the ability to recuperate. Since means that part of the energy can be recovered during the ride, which increases the range. Due to the uneven weight distribution, electric mountain bikes with rear-wheel drive are only something for roads and paved paths. Hardtails with rear-mounted motors are not a good choice on narrow trails and demanding routes. Maximum riding fun even in difficult terrain is promised by E-MTBs with a mid-motor. Due to the position of the motor, the weight is concentrated in the area of the bottom bracket. This not only ensures balanced handling, but also that the motor is part of the suspended mass on the e-mountain bike full suspension. In addition, these bikes are characterized by high efficiency and high agility even in challenging passages. For sporty e-bikers who want to be as versatile as possible, there is hardly any way around an e-mountain bike with a mid-mounted motor.
E-mountain bike as hardtail or fully?
The e-mountain bike is available in 2 different versions. As a hardtail or fully. The difference between the e-mountain bike hardtail and the e-mountain bike full is quickly explained. While the Fully is an e-mountain bike with suspension fork and suspended rear triangle, only the fork is suspended in the Hardtail. Both types differ both in terms of handling and in terms of their range of use. The classic hardtail E-MTB is comparatively light, low-maintenance and cheaper to buy than a fully. It is also characterized by the partial suspension by an optimal power transmission, since no power is lost via the additional suspension. Hardtails are the ideal choice for price-conscious bikers who are looking for a sporty all-rounder for light terrain and everyday use in the city. Both tours on bike paths with the family and commuting to work, as well as forest and forest trails are no problem for the hardtail. In heavy terrain with challenging surfaces, steep descents and stony trails, on the other hand, the e-mountain bike Fully is at home. Even on rough trails, you will experience a high level of riding comfort thanks to the gentle cushioning of impacts. The additional suspension also protects your back. At the same time, the suspended rear end promises more traction and thus higher speeds off-road. In everyday life on the asphalt, however, weight and loss of power weigh negatively.
The optimum suspension travel for beginners and professionals
The suspension travel determines how much the suspension fork dips and thus absorbs bumps and shocks. The range of suspension travel on high-quality mountain bikes is between approx. 100 mm and 170 mm. Anyone who ventures into the hobby of mountain biking or is mainly on forest trails and asphalt, gets along comfortably with 100 mm to 120 mm of suspension travel. This also applies to full-suspension bikes.
Bikers with higher ambitions benefit from bikes with a suspension travel between 120 mm and 150 mm. Both medium-duty trails and long tours are no problem. Only those who are often on the road in extreme terrain with challenging descents, reach for a bike with a suspension travel of 150 mm to 200 mm.
Range of e-mountain bikes - even long tours are no problem
The riding pleasure with any e-bike stands and falls with the range of the built-in tailwind. This is largely determined by the battery capacity. The following rule of thumb applies: The higher the battery capacity in watt hours (Wh), the longer the mountain biking pleasure will last. A battery capacity from 500 Wh is optimal for carefree mountain biking pleasure. This means that even longer tours or setting a high support level on steep climbs are no problem.
Tip: If you want even more safety, do not want to take a charging break in any case or are planning even longer tours, reach for the spare battery. Thanks to the compact dimensions, high-quality second batteries can easily be carried in the backpack. These can be changed in just a few steps and provide the e-bike with fresh range.
How big should the wheels be?
In the past, there was only one wheel size for mountain bikes - 26 inches. Since then, manufacturers have adapted their bikes to new findings. The range extends from compact 24 inch wheels to large 29 inch wheels.
But which wheel size is ideal for your e-mountain bike?
- 24 inch: These small wheels are new to the e-mountain bike segment. They are found exclusively on e-MTBs for children who are still too small for bikes with 26 inch wheels. Typically, they allow children to handle well off-road.
- 26 inch: 26 inch wheels used to be the standard size, but are now quite rare to find. The small wheel diameter is found in the current model series almost exclusively on so-called fat bikes. Here, the small wheel size is compensated by the powerful tire.
- 27.5 inch: It gets really interesting with 27.5 inch wheels. Both hardtails and fullys get a high maneuverability in the terrain through this wheel size. Acceleration and acceleration also benefit significantly. For smaller mountain bikers and trail bikers, an e-mountain bike with this wheel size is also recommended.
- 29 inch: 29 inch wheels are the new standard size for mountain bikes. Compared to smaller wheels, they are characterized by noticeably smoother running, better traction and greater suspension effect. Differences in altitude in the terrain can also be put away more easily. The bottom line is that the so-called "29er" are well predestined for fast riding in gentle terrain as well as for large bikers.
