CHOOSING THE RIGHT RIDE FOR YOU

What is an E-MTB?

An Electric Mountain Bike (E-MTB) is a mountain bike equipped with an integrated motor that assists you as you pedal. It’s important to note that the motor only engages when you pedal, so it’s not a free ride!

E-MTB (Motor-ON) vs MTB (Motor-OFF):

The key difference between an E-MTB and a traditional Mountain Bike (MTB) is the integrated motor in the E-MTB. This motor provides pedal assistance, making tackling steep climbs and long rides easier. For riders recovering from injuries or trying to regain fitness, E-MTBs can serve as a gentle re-entry into the sport. The electric assist can provide the extra boost needed to rebuild confidence and strength without overexerting.

On the other hand, a traditional MTB relies solely on your pedaling power, offering a more physically demanding but also potentially more rewarding experience.

Travel Considerations:

Our bikes have what some might consider a lot of travel, but thanks to our Sensei Suspension, we have created a platform that exhibits a predictable BOB-free ride regardless of what gear you are in. The amount of travel your bike has will determine the type of terrain it can comfortably handle. More travel means better shock absorption for rough terrains. Our Trail and Gravity platforms allow you to customize your ride based on the terrain or trails you ride.

Battery Capacity:

The distance you can travel on one charge of an E-MTB depends on several factors, including battery capacity, motor efficiency, rider weight, and terrain. While our E-MTBs are designed for efficiency, factors like proper gear usage and maintaining a steady speed can help extend your battery life. Battery life should not limit the length of your ride, and that’s why our bikes come with a large-capacity battery.
