The Best e-Bikes for 2024

[@RobRidesEMTB]

Thanks to you all for watching my ebike stuff in 2023 - I appreciate it massively! I'll try to keep the most honest ebike content for you all to watch throught 2024 - Looking forward to seeing all the cool stuff this year!

[@WilliamrikerNCC1701]

You make it easy to. Great content with info and filming. Always enjoy when we get new upload from you. Keep up the great work.

[@IronX77]

Always loving your honest reviews. I know how hard it is to balance access vs disclosure, and no one does it better than you. Thanks for daring to try out Bafang builds as well 🙌

[@burgieee123]

Great list rob 👍🏻 I think you should do some reviewing or testing on the new Whyte E180 I think this bike would really suit your riding style and the geometry is crazy 👌🏻 also the 2024 models offer great spec at a good price 👍🏻

[@dennisossianderrmplmtcst2053]

Thanks for the great review! All the best to you and yours in 2024! 🎉Kindly, Dennis

[@bikespike711]

Hi Rob Great content and presentation. I bought the Orbea Wild Alloy after your and others recommendation. The H20 is just over 26 Kg, with a unworkable fork. This despite trumpeting the top end bike’s weight at 20.8kg. It is a bit of a monster truck! I hope I can remove the 750wh battery and just run it off the yet to be released Powermore 250 as an SL, as you too have suggested on insta. The point is that average Joe like me buys the cheaper model in the hope that the outcome is similar to what you and others describe, in this case it wasn’t. My request is that please do speak up about value for money, weight, who the bike is most suited for and other bikes(specifically entry level) in the range and which might be the best bang for the buck.

2023 Crestline coppertop here, great bike...I went with 29s

[@johnf3326]

I have had a Rail 5 for 3 years now. The emtb experience is brilliant. But emtbs have not progressed much: still the same power, motor wattage and speed assist limit. Theres been tinkering round the edges, slightly less weight, slightly bigger batteries, integrated displays etc but still its basically the same setup. If I was to consider changing the Rail and paying some of these sums I would not just want more bells and whistles, but a step change in design and improvement.

[@ojaiandrew]

I love my Rail 9.7. No need for another e-bike anytime soon.

[@AZMTB]

Just got my new customized Orbea Wild M10 about a week ago and I'm LOVING it! It absolutely gobbles up rough, technical trails. Such a great handling bike.

Im sure we all wondered about cost and weight on the Pinion equipped bike. I dont think the bike is commonly available yet.

Hi Rob I'm torn between the orbea wild M10 and the Canyon Strive On. What's your thoughts. Battery removable isn't an issue. Just think the Orbea looks slicker. Help.

[@hamishparker5952]

Shame there has been no coverage of pivot shuttle SL, heckler SL or transition relay. Big contenders in the light weight

[@BikeParkLane]

That Mondraker Neat looks like a great bike, bit too expensive for mainstream users though

[@Jesse_James_]

Hi! Please, take the Rotwild RX 1000 for review as soon as possible! In my opinion, electric bicycles without an integrated gearbox are already a thing of the past.

[@efwewfwef1549]

exactly!!! i am so curious what sram and shimano will bring to the table in the next years though!

[@brendan1]

The 2024 Orbea Wild now comes in a couple of configurations with the SRAM T-Type AXS transmission. Nobody has really mentioned that before. The LTD and the M11 model both have it. I've ordered the 2024 M11 Wild model.

A very interesting piece of information would be how efficient the different motors are at converting watts in to watts out, or % efficiency. You are going to get more miles on a charge with a more efficient motor of course

[@TheCureThatKillz]

The Crestline is the e-bike I’d get no questions. I ride with a buddy who has one and last night on the climb I told him to kick it into high mode because I wanted to see how fast he’d start climbing up. I was absolutely blown away at how fast he took off up the climb. It was unbelievable. I was expecting to get hit by his roost. LOL kidding. But for real, it was wild. That bike is sick. That being said I’d NEVER spend 12K on a bicycle

[@MrFlapstick]

Rob, how do you fined these bikes pedal through the speed restriction? I’m in a reign E+ and it’s an absolute pig…. Most of the “fun” but of every ride is > 25kph and so it just feels like a boat. Any thoughts on what bikes / motor combos feel best for this?

[@lars_atx]

Great summary. Very exciting time for E-bikes. Do you have a comparison of motor sound? I was looking at getting an ebike, but motors i looked at either sounded like a blender, or rattled on downhills. The pinion and TQ motor systems seem the quietest.

[@jackwest5295]

What about the New GAS GAS e bikes ? Yamaha and SRAM motors ..any thoughts ? Enduro 3.0 etc...

[@1dancier]

The family car type emtb,s get my vote, not overally flash, just a solid workhorse and reasonably priced. So Vitus wins.

[@davidguzman8992]

Hi Rob, great content. Question, if you had to choose between an Orbea Wild or a Canyon Strive both being equally priced and spec, which would you choose and why. I'm coming off a Turbo Levo which I liked, but had 3 motor replacements in 7 months and every time it's time off the bike. I'm sure nobody likes that, so...

Hey brother, I'M stuck please help!! Anyone. I'm on the fence on either buying a scott ransom eride920 and will fully get upgraded with fox factory suspension 180mm front and rear travel. Or do I get me an entry model orbea wild and fully upgrade that with better brakes and fox factory suspension. My question is, what is the best all around, throw anything at it bike. I love the mullet capable option on the scott. But Everyone is crazy about the orbea wild. Please any input is greatly appreciate it. My riding usage consist of 70% park stuff and 30 % trail riding. My concern is i dont want to run out of travel in the orbea if i ever need the extra MM of travel. Thanks in advance!!

Hello biker friends, maybe someone can help me. If someone could even list pros and cons, it would be great. So which is the better bike, the TREK Rail 9 Gen 3 or the Specialized Turbo Kenevo Expert X01 Eagle 2024. Hear so often that TREK Rail 9 Gen 3 is one of the best bikes. But is that true?

Currently you can get a Pole Voima or the new Sonni delivered to your door in the UK for just under £7k including taxes and import duties. The Hub is also now open so you can book an appointment with the team and go look at and sit on a bike to check sizing etc. The team at the Hub also run the Pole Factory Racing team so they have a huge amount of experience racing the Voima and Onni that they can share with you. There is even a Race suspension and braking upgrade they can offer.
