Bikeradar: "Watch This Before You Buy An Electric Mountain Bike"
Me: "I'm 'shocked' to hear THAT."

I feel you've undersold the hardtail a bundle.

[Govermentsound]

I only buy ebikes with Bosch motors, that's the only thing that matters to me, once it's got a Bosch, then I start looking & the specs 😀

Forget the "paid promotion" nonsense, this is an 11 minute ad. for Canyon. Period.

Why want an e-MTB? For commute i can understand. Is there an eMTB that i don't have to paddle at all?

[imtefgy]

whats a park bike? surely thats a downhill bike?

[crankshoptv]

The most import thing to factor in is that an EMTB will cost you about 30-50% more in maintenance than a regular bike.

Although both EMTB and MTB both go wrong, it is often more expensive and time consuming when EMTB's go wrong. This is because of the added complexity, weight and power of an EMTB.

@2:50 *"the WHAT bikes"* ? is that some word for Downhill? You Brits should try English! (j/k)

-Electric- Motor Mountain Bike. There, I fixed it for you.

[MrChristiangraham]

Bosch motors are notorious for failing. Sure it might be covered by guarantee, but time in the shop being repaired is time you're not riding.

How does an Emtb allow you to cycle more, i can get out on my bike whenever it suits me 🫠
