Key eBikes You Need To Know About

Steve Jones has been fortunate enough to visit many places so far this year and ride many new and interesting E mountain bikes. From the halls of Eurobike to the mountains of China, he's seen the latest and the greatest e-bikes that are not only at the cutting edge of modern-day e-bike tech but bikes which house important developments that will certainly be used as a jumping-off point for clever bike design for the future. Here's his definitive list of the key manufacturers, motors and models you need to know about.

Steve. Can I take you back a few months when you pitched several bikes against each other in a timed climb. The Rocky Mountain Altitude Powerplay beat the all the other bikes not by a fraction but rather a country mile. OK I know absolute power isn't everything but you were mightily impressed. However the bike does even get a notable mention in this list. Are they not paying you enough?? Price can't be an issue given some of the other bikes you list. PLEASE EXPLAIN!!!

Just bought a Merida e160 CF (7K model). Superb bike, awesome fun to ride.

[StacyODell]

I just wish more of these brands were easily available here in the States

[fe]

So the designers from the Raymon one where so lazy enough to pretty much copy paste not only the design but the colors of
The orbea wild 😂

[sdigsy]

Think ill stick with my Gen 2 Kenevo - trouble free so far & super fun.

[kentnilsson]

👍There are to many choise to day😂.
I just sold my Yamaha moro that I rebuilt with Marvic mullet, Öhlin RXF36 170mm fork, Fox factory coil (216×63 instead of 210x55), XTR groups with 10-45T shots cage.
It had a very nice geometry I didn't like the lack of change the power of the diffrent modes, witch I as a person that "race against the battery capacity" wants to have opportunity to do😂.
I had to try a full power Emtb and now that is done. I stuck to my 3 low power Emtbs that I built from frameset. One 35Nm, one 50Nm, one 60Nm and this winter I maby finde som other projekt😋😉.
This is my life just now, ski in the winter, built a bike while longing fore the summer😂😂😂

Pinion belt drive is the future. All the rest is old news.

Brutal, this episode should just have been named "best sponsors ebikes " with a few otbers thrown in for good measure. Basically, same old rides we see week in week out, you would think canyon, whyte and more recently kellys are the only main suppliers of ebikes. 😂😂😂😂 no 10 was a complete new list of minor sponsors. Rocky Mountain was described as a complete machine of an ebike in trials not so long ago now its gone, no mention, no place for any sworks specialized / ibis, transition, scott ...privateer... big world out there that could be discussed in detail.

Unfortunately I can't trust this content more than being a a paid advertisement.
Funny how bikes drop off the list when they aren't sending you demos or pushing you flow etc.

[JackieFitzpatrick-tkzs]

what about testing the motors to see if they are the NMS the manufacturers CLAIM .

[JamesGoddard-is]

Id buy the saturn 16 tomorrow if it wasnt 27kg. Love e bikes and i can accept a loss of DH performance for the benefits but when it gets steep and twisty 27kg is not gunna work

[vashon]

One can ride a bike with geometry a little off and lower end components but it's the motor that is of first importance in my book and that mean manuf backup, and reliability with water exposure.

[TCK]

I love my Giant Reign but that DJI AMFLOW looks amazing.

[e_mtb]

While I like the idea of the Pinion, the problem is, that it's currently more like a beta version, pretty noise and some shifting operations aren't that smoothly sometimes (at least I heard about, didn't test it myself yet). This means, as soon as there is a new improved version coming out, bikes with the old version will be nearly impossible to get sold on the second-hand market or only with huge discounts. Of course, that's always a problem with "new products", but since these bikes are pretty expensive in comparison, I would not be willing to take the risk to be honest 🤨 If there would be a guarantee, that you can replace this motor with an improved version for a reasonable price later (battery+display need to remain compatible), it would surely be beneficial to reduce the fear 😁

Dji have changed the game. I've been considering a lighter ebike for a while but don't want to sacrifice power. Now we don't have to. I do have to save for a bit longer though.

[hervegalland]

C'est pas possible de faire ce genre de liste sans le pivot shuttle SL !!!! 17, 5 kg et une des meilleure suspension du marché !

[jmo]

If Santa Cruz put that new ZF motor in their Heckler, I will buy a new eMTB.

[Shawn-in-da-Canyon]

I want a Trek E-Caliber with a TQ motor, drop bars, gravel tires, and a 10-52 cassette.

[islandaerial]

Nice list, too bad we can't get ANY of them here in Canazuela
