An electric mountain bike is a bicycle designed to tackle off-road trails, equipped with an electric motor that assists the cyclist while pedaling. The assisted pedaling allows you to tackle steep climbs and difficult terrain with less effort than a traditional mountain bike.
While the mountain biking traditional ones rely exclusively on the strength of the cyclist, eMTBs offer assistance that facilitates pedaling, especially uphill, thanks to the 630, 800 or 900 Wh battery and a 250 watt engine that allow you to reach 25 km/h. The electric mountain bike is the ideal choice for those who do not want to give up off-road challenges and travel kilometers in less time.
The e-MTB hardtail They feature a front suspension fork and a rigid frame at the rear, offering a simpler and lighter structure, ideal for less rugged routes. dual-suspension, on the other hand, have both front and rear suspension, ensuring a smoother ride on uneven and bumpy terrain, absorbing shocks better and offering greater comfort.
Carbon frames are generally lighter and offer greater resistance to wear over time. They can also be designed to be stiff in some areas and more flexible in others, improving the ride quality. Aluminum frames are less expensive and more resistant to impacts, making them ideal for rougher trails.
The autonomy of electric bicycles and e-MTBs depends on various factors:
– the weight of the cyclist,
– the unevenness of the terrain,
– the outside temperature
– tire pressure
– the battery status.
For integrated batteries, you need to have a power outlet where you store the bike, using the dedicated outlet on the bike. For removable batteries, however, charging is done with an external charger that can be purchased among the accessories.
Charging time varies between 2 and 5 hours, depending on the battery capacity and the power of the charger.
With average use, this translates to several years of operation before you notice a significant drop in performance.
The range of an eMTB varies based on several factors, including battery capacity, terrain, and the level of assistance selected. For example, with a 630 Wh battery, you can travel about 90 km on mountainous routes with challenging climbs, while on flat terrain the range can extend up to 180 km.
The price of an eMTB varies greatly depending on the brand, model, materials used and components. Entry-level models (strictly with a central motor) can start at around €2,000, while high-end eMTBs, equipped with advanced technologies and quality materials, can exceed €10,000.
