The Very Best Electric Mountain Bikes For 2024

Wow, what a year it has been, the bar has been raised once again for

electric

mountain

bikes

. So many things have happened. There is so much going on in the world of

electric

mountain

bikes

right now that it seems like Shimano are the new kings of the power stage. SRAM has launched its own version of automatic shifting and full-power electric mountain bikes seem to be getting lighter. I've been lucky enough to have ridden some amazing bikes this past year, so I just want to take a moment to consider them because it was such an exciting time and there's a lot to look forward to in this video.

Let's take a look at some of the

best

emtbs of 20124. Now I'll start the video with the whole price thing because it's obviously Super important to a lot of people this year we introduced the Advanced Elite giant trans bike which has low overall power obviously the trans limited, which has a higher capacity battery, but I think it's this bike, the Stance e now, this is a low price and long range. I've taken this bike to some amazing places in the North West of Scotland to prove that you can actually ride a lot on 120 140. Now the interesting thing about the Giant bikes is that they actually come with two different motors - you have the SN Drive Pro motor in the advanced and limited trans bikes and in The Stance e you actually have the SN Drive sport engine.

In fact, I've compared the two motors head to head on the hill and this sporty motor is so smooth it's so easy to use and understand and in fact it was a couple of seconds faster than the pro. Don't tell the giant that now another brand that really got us was the m510 and 610. You may have seen my friend Rod's bike, which is a home. We built on the Forester Dean, but it was that vtus e e mithi that we took the AR Sky with 170k travel, possibly some of the

best

suspension you'll get on any e-mount bike and proved that you can really take a long travel bike to some Suitable adventure environments Limited edition Bosch CX and CX Race engines There are so many bikes with these engines and some of the fastest people with these engines note that Florencia Espeña and Fabián Burell are now the first World Cup champions e ride and They both rode on the limited edition CX uh race engine so many bikes, although you may have seen our man behind the camera setting a new world record on the white e160.

I think it was 55,000 feet in 1 hour, the fastest climbing record ever, obviously. Other bikes in the white range you also have the e180, which is a 20 uh 29 27.5 version of that bike and again the white one comes with two uh versions of the Bosch motor, so many others, although the cannon effort, I mean the Fabian's bicycle. Burell just won the series on 160, the 170k ride comes with a 750 watt hour battery or I think Fab is also on a 625, a bike that's up for some nonsense, a proper complete endural bike. I think the best thing about that bike is Well, it's actually available as the £5,000 underdog version.

Otherwise we have a 150 160 track rail again a 750 W battery with the new smart system from Bosch. Remember that the Bosch smart system has a mini remote control that is on this or beish. I'll talk in a minute, you can have the option of having the top tube mounted on the display rail. Yes, again you know you can get bikes for £5,000, entry level up to £12,000 depends on the spec you choose for this bike. on the other hand, as I mentioned, the current Indur World Cup champion. I ride a bike, well, it's not a production version. The 750 watt battery this time is inline, it is integrated into the down tube, this is a limited edition CX motor and this bike. it actually weighs around 20 kilos making it one of the lightest full power e-Mount bikes on the market with that full power battery and remember the components are made for that purpose this is the right Ur component because it's a 160k tour bike, so yeah, there are some examples, but we have a few more, actually, you know what?

I think it's reasonably accurate to say that there are probably more Bosch CX and limited edition racing CX powered mountain bikes than any other on the market besides those bikes. I just mentioned that I think you have models like Canondale Mandrea Flyer and also KTM. KTM has a fantastic range of bikes for the CX race engine. This is the Machina Prowler Prestige, a proper flying machine with 180k coil now. two final bikes from the Bosch Scott pattern, uh, and when it comes to integration and stealth, I mean the best in the game, possibly one of the biggest news for 2023 24 is Ram's new Eagle powertrain, which features automatic transmission and also four sports bicycles with coast shift. the new gas gas system now it's quite interesting that this bike has the Bros motor remember the Bros motor is just a component part of the system whereas as on some of the other gas gas bikes you can see the side casing that it has to Shram Bros there, I just present to you two of the other bikes that are here, we have the propane here, as you can see, these features are the t-type transmission and you can only access a derailleur and a coast derailleur through that type of tea.

Here, thanks to the guys at Shram for a

very

tasty Double Espresso, we have the Transition Repeater which was released on October 10th. A fantastic looking bike and ridden by Yanik Pontal, the 20022 E Series World Cup winner, and then the nuk-proof carbon megawatt. which was actually one of the lightest full power e-mountain bikes at our weigh-in at the ewor cup a few weeks ago. I think another thing to mention about having the Eagle drivetrain on your bike is that it allows for a

very

, very clean front end. from the house on the bike and everything is activated through the Pod system up here, so not only can you do manual shifting, but you can also do automatic shifting, you can do freewheeling shifting or should I say the bike automatically shifts and changes gears free if you want, and also. you can do the fine tuning just on the pods, it also controls the walking mode and seat dropper very cleanly and remember the Bros motor has 90 newm of torque and a variety of battery capacities on all these different bikes as well Obviously, there is a lot of interest in the new ECC range of gas gas.

I know, is this the ECC 4 five or six. I don't know what it has, it has the wp suspension, which was done in collaboration with dvo, so summary of this damping setup, remember. It is a combination of fork and pull. It is a base valve with a new cone valve technology that has been developed in motocross. Basically, the valve closes exponentially as the fork splits, so it actually gives you more moisture to keep you more upright on the ride. on the bike, so it's more balanced when you ride a bike. What I love about this bike is the fact that you can see the Swim Bros logo on there.

I think in the full red version, these guys obviously have their hands in their pockets, they're like They're still mulling it over, but I think they'll agree that it's possibly one of the best looking full power e m bikes on the market. Let us know what you guys think about the bikes we've been showing you today. Let's get into it. Shimano, now the last ones. For years we have seen the development of the ep8 engine in the EP 801 with different power characteristics. You may have seen Team Yeti rider R Gilchrist rise to the top of the E indir power stage, taking Shimano from a fairly low position to one where they can truly dominate.

Due to the different characteristics of the motor, along with the different power, you have automatic shifting and free shifting in combination with di2 which we have seen in the last 12 months when it comes to bikes, some great bikes with Shimano Power, where should I start ? It could start with YT YT from or um you can have it in MX or Trail form and it's great to see that YT has a new 720W hour battery on the topic of batteries. I think maybe it's one of the The pioneers of long range batteries were probably Norco, so you have the Norco scope in the Norco range, 540 720 900 watt batteries, so similar that you could tell where it is, there you go to the spectral cannon on my left here, I think one of the favorite e-Mount bikes I've ever ridden and the reason for this is that it's great to have auto shift and free shift and a long range battery.

I think having a lively e-mounted bike, the spectralon 150 160, is fantastic. bike what else do we have Bulls the bulls have some great bikes a wide price range uh merid e160 when it comes to lively bikes it gets involved in the geometry thats cool too and maybe for something a little different I would go for the roadfield e375 with a 375 watt battery that makes it a super light bike but at the same time with full power. Oh, there are a couple of other bikes. Santa Cruz, now two of the Shimano ep8 ep81 bikes that I want to introduce to you first are the Heckler 150 160 mil. travel comes in two versions actually 29 27.5 or the trail version which is 29 front and rear here we possibly have one of the favorite bikes I rode in 2023 it's not a full power e-mounted bike it's the Santa Cruz Heckler SL with fua ride 60 system so if you want to see the low to mid horsepower bikes we've actually made a separate video which I'll leave the link to below but when it comes to handling and looks I'm talking about Santa Cruz.

Some awesome looking bikes and one more bike to sum things up from Shimano is the Santa Cruz bullet with 170k travel front and rear and look at that W color with the Theath Rock rider bikes now historically we have seen these bikes with Bros Motors here in Rock. It is very exciting news that there is a new ep600 motor in these bikes. 630 watt hour battery. 29 inch wheels. Route of 160 thousand. These bikes start. This is the efield 700. There is also a 900, but this one, the 700 version, starts at 4,399. really interesting range boom, this year for Bros they have now launched a new 48 volt system on eurobike and it is quite interesting because now you have your own motor on bikes you swam and they have launched their own Eagle drivetrain system which is powered by a motor Bros and of course the well known fact that they specialize in using Bros for C, which has been going on for eight years now.

When it comes to bikes that have Bro's own motor, I think one of the standout bikes is the roadfield re 750. Pro 750 watt hour battery, super lightweight and an awesome looking bike. Obviously the Bulls make a fantastic range of electric mountain bikes with the Bro motor at many different price points and of course you're a fan of what the Bros have been sporting for a while. Years ago, this is Yurus Reef, he is the current e-by world cross country champion and this is his bike, the specialized s Works Leo. The Leo needs no introduction, it was one of the original bikes and the one that largely led the way.

In terms of integration and simplicity of setup, 700 watt hour Leo battery, 90 new m Bros motor, 15060 mil travel, I mean it's now in its third generation, it's a very well established bike and when it comes to riding with character on the trail, that's also something that's important about all full-power electric mountain bikes and this is a

2024

production version of the Leo. I tried to discolor some of the guys here and the answer was probably because they didn't know, but I'm sure you'll agree. will fit perfectly in a welsh bog ok Pini ep3 plus MX wow thats what a motor has quite a bit of oomph now a couple of bikes to speak of the first being the fulgur.

Mr. Fulgur is actually behind the camera he is a shy character but his bike is not shy uh this bike is a full endural bike 170 170 29 27.5 Wheels as you can see it has full Italian suspension from Franco fratton on EXT um I think It's a standout feature of this bike if you do endurance racing doing adventure racing an 880w battery too by the way they have a new screen. The best thing about Pini is that you can replace the parts there yourself. It is super simple to remove the engine. We've seen the guys from Bar Cycles. In the UK it is very easy to repair Pini Motors, another bike is actually the barrier from Spain.

This time again 170 170 has a different screen built into the top tube and this bike has a 720 watt hour battery so there you go. two beautiful bikes, one from Spain and one from Italy, both super fast, super powerful and with long range batteries. Friends, I wanted to introduce you to the Rocky Mountain altitude power play. This is Adrian from Avenon with one of these bikes. I mean, it was one of the most powerful electric bikes on the market.six years ago, they still are today, it's a beautiful design, it's a lot of fun to ride and as I mentioned, it was actually when we did our Hill Climb challenge about a month ago, it's still in first place. the game by a considerable margin I think it's 108 Newton I um the integration on this bike this is actually the old version look at the new version with the top tube screen that we recently mounted it's unique, it's fast and yes, just go for a ride How's it going?

Let's ask, uh, let's ask Mr. Danger Home when it comes to Shimano Bosch Yamaha electric mountain bikes, what would you choose for the color of your choice? Fancy in the logo, no, but I mean, honestly, they all have their own benefits and that's it. The cool thing for me is that you have these different options and I mean it would be boring if there was only one iPhone, it was just that one, but like you can choose different brands and different power outputs and whatever. as if, better for the client wow totally out of the ordinary random response Che, how are you?

You're right. I'm fine, thanks Shimano Yamaha oh no, no, no, and a brand, its price. Mark and the engine, yes, he sat down, no, no, no. sax, that's funny, isn't it? I mean, that gentleman reminded me of the Zach motor, which I've only ridden once, but one bike I'd really like to ride is the stem adrenaline, like I said, Zach's 112 newm torque on that motor, but uh the adrenaline has a large capacity battery with super cool features, so, yes, I am thinking about a unique bike for

2024

. I would definitely like to ride that, there are so many cool bikes, but some that we didn't get to see, however, they should be an integral part .

Part of anyone's wish list, take the thock Range High Cube oh bike and the vmer pole with long travel and a stunning aluminum frame. Kelly's Theos range with pioneering frame technology is a brand that can be powered by Shimano or Panasonic. Which is the Fly U Rock, one of the most attractive bicycles on the market. Looking ahead, we see that some of the engine brands could come with new offerings, as we have seen with our partner brand Husana, which has already improved with the incredible MC. Series but also other Ducatti brands with the power stage and the interesting New Concept motorcycles from Yamaha.
