The Very Best Electric Mountain Bikes for 2023

[@onemoreriff7644]

The choice is overwhelming, not such a bad thing, but when your spending this kind of money it takes a lot of time to read up about each bike and which one is right for you, by the time you finished reading a new bike is out of coming, it's great to see it move so quickly but hard on brain time :)

[@jmo2752]

There is an easy answer - forget the spec sheet, and just buy the one you like the look of best! Seriously, when it comes to ownership, that element ought not be discounted - all these [production] bikes are great, so just buy the one that you want to look at [and ride] every day.

@@TriumphAventura hargroves used to do a demo day at qepark once a day which was awesome for trying lots of different bikes out but they haven't done it since COVID hit. Hopefully will be back on next year. I'm hopefully going to demo a yt decoy soon. Going with my friend and going to get a 29er and mx version. Excited to try out both.

[@embn]

You're right! Now more than ever, there is so many different options on the market. It's easy to get confused/tangled up in all the latest releases with different geometry, travel, motor and battery options. We'd suggest taking things back to basics and ask yourself what do you want to get out of a bike to make a decision on an EMTB! 👍

[@faceinthecrowd5810]

My 2021 turbo Levo Comp is a kick ass bike! Been on it for a year and still have zero complaints, all great rides! Rode some local flow / training trails today, 18 miles of practice at a faster speed than when on a regular MTB, allowing me to work on my cornering skills and line choice. The EMTB has taken my riding skills to a higher level than my regular MTB’s have just due to the extra miles and higher speeds possible. The 2023 models look fantastic but my goal is to keep my 2021 and upgrade the components as they wear out.

[@danielherman1966]

@@bensonr2 I agree.

[@jmo2752]

economies of scale... motorcycle manufacturers sell a huge number of units compared to [high end] bicycle manufacturers. Although I do agree there does seem to be a 'price of entry' to mountain-biking in general these days, ie. a conscious decision by the manufacturers to make it a high-end sport, rather than something that is affordable.

[@danielherman1966]

@@jmo2752 It will be interesting to see how the future of the sport or entry-level activity plays out. One group wants an extreme level of power-to-weight ratio and agility. The other wants ease of use and distance. The other wants speed. The other wants reliability with all of the above. Many great avenues of possibilities for manufacturers to prosper. My hope is that they don't make the sport cost prohibitive for most people to get involved. I think they are headed in the right direction for the long haul if the prices don't get too high.

I am a 98 lb emtb person and am also checking out the small pivot shuttle. My style is cross country terrain, single track and occasional features. I think it will work. I have a liv 48 lbs and it's too heavy if I must walk it up or down something I cannot ride. Can't wait to see the new shuttle,

[@ashleyyoung952]

I was a Peaselake yesterday. I don’t ride an e bike, but only due to the cost. So many people are riding them now. I recon 75% of people I talked to had one, all different manufacturers. I would love one but circumstances won’t allow it yet so I’ll carry on enjoying what I have and just enjoy seeing these great e bikes .

[@MikaHakkinen83]

Regular mtb’s are also really fine nowadays, just buy a hardtail or a lightly used full sus and enjoy it. Just make sure the frame fits your size, it has decent suspension parts and preferably Shimano on everything else.

[@PaulMoody]

Interesting video. One thing that keeps coming to mind is how folks are evaluating emtbs. For many riders the downhill portion is what they love about mtbs - jumping, slashing, railing burms, and such. Having ridden a full fat Turbo Levo for a year now (2500+ miles) in rooty rocky Vermont, emtb’ing is all about the climb. So when I see folks ogling for the lightest mid-power SL, it kinda reminds me of folks judging horseless carriages by how fast they can drink at a watering hole (hint - they don’t need to). Judging emtbs as if the downhill part of the ride is where all the fun is, well it’s kinda ignoring that emtbs have changed the game. It’s all about the climb. I’ve even heard trail builders talking about designing uphill features for their emtbs. And in the future I suspect emtb racing will be more about tech and climbing than descending. Mountain biking is going through a revolution - much like transportation did when motorized vehicles were introduced. Time to stop judging etmbs like they are old fashioned manual bikes. Power, range, nimbleness, and durability are qualities to be evaluating emtbs. In that regard, the final bike shown, with its battery above the motor - now that’s a difference that recognizes the reality of emtbs.

[@SilentKnightErik]

Totally on the spot with this, eMTB are all about climbing and range, if you want a light and fast downhill bike, you don't need an electric one. IMO

[@bensonr2]

I semi disagree. Emtb's make the climb more fun and enjoyable; but the downhill is still where the most fun is to be had. So to me the main advantage of emtb is I can climb all day so I can keep hitting my favorite downhill over and over. But I will say your right that being light is overrated. But for different reasons. I think being a bit heavier makes for a more planted and confidence inspiring feeling on the downhill.

[@PaulMoody]

@@bensonr2 i do love the weight for stability and smoothness over chunky stuff. I’m not a downhill speedster (started mtb’ing in my 60’s) but imagine it’s still fun to roar downhill on a solid emtb

[@SilentKnightErik]

@@bensonr2 I didn't mean that you cannot enjoy downhill on an eMTB but on climbing is when you need the most the electric assistance, otherwise you would rather like to pack them in the van and get to the top of the hill. I'm not an expert but I also think that lightweight is overrated in an eMTB, perhaps at the end of the day is just a preference and we all can enjoy both kind of bikes, the more options the more type of riders happy.

[@Roaming50]

It's a balancing act. Before eMTB my rides would be spent 80% of the time climbing for 20% downhill. The downhill was the rush but the climb was a drag. Now the eMTB balances that out. Much less time climbing and now the climbing is as enjoyable as the down. Overall The whole ride is elevated and is grin inducing even on the toughest climbs. While I now look forward to climbing and railing beamed switchbacks going uphill, there is no denying that the down is still be best part.

[@davidbishop3374]

If you can afford a full assist bike, get a full assist bike. Bike weight is much less of an issue with e-bikes, and you will regret a mid assist bike when your buddies drop you on a climb.

[@macfawlty]

Well done. A tight, quick overview of A LOT of bikes to revisit for a more comprehensive dive.

[@matthewtomlinson535]

After being a total hater of ebikes for a long time, I have bought into the mid assist thing now. I've been riding mountain bikes since the very early days and because the MTB experience has evolved gradually, I've never felt that any new technology has changed the essence of the experience that is mountain biking. However, with full power ebikes, I don't think that's the case. It is essentially a different sport and not something that appeals to me. My orbea rise gives me the extra assistance to help up the climbs and the same ride quality that I am used to. I think it will be the segment that will persuade long time riders to consider an EMTB. And if anyone says that mid assist bike are not for heavy riders, I'm best part of 17st kitted up and can get 1500m of elevation from the battery by not relying on being boosted up the climbs.

[@ryanturner5529]

I’m going to hire one this weekend or next for the day and see what it does compared to my normal enduro bike, I’m pretty fit and do ride a fair bit but with a baby due any time soon I won’t have as much spare time so hopefully this gives me the best bang for buck.

It depends on what you are after. For me, I'm a sixty three year old rider whose main riding friends are in their thirties and forties and ride analog bikes. A mid power bike lets me keep up with them while still feeling like I'm on regular bike.

[@matthewtomlinson535]

@@adampalma3765 I disagree. I think full power bikes are ofter bought by the weaker riders that can't be arsed to put effort in and just want the easiest option. I was only pursuaded to the ebike darkside by a lower powered, more natural feeling bike. Yes, it requires more effort but that to me is a positive, not as it is to many, a negative.

[@pgjudo]

@@matthewtomlinson535 , that’s a bizarre take. I would think that most people employ motors because they’re interested in the power motors can provide. I ride my ebike and my analog bikes for fun. If you’re insecure (“weaker”, “dark side”, etc) about using an ebike and are trying to relate your riding to strength or machismo, reaching for an analog, rigid, single speed would make the most sense. Using your logic, only weaker riders need gears to amplify their leg power and suspension to create their traction for them.

[@matthewtomlinson535]

@@pgjudo if a was alone in my opinion, the bike manufacturers would not be investing in this style of e-mountain bike, instead, concentrating purely on ever increasigly powerful motors. so I'm not sure why you think my views are 'bizarre'. The fact that my light hearted use of the term 'darkside' should prompt such a passive aggressive response would indicate that you are not aware that for many long term mtb riders, Emtbs are looked upon negatively. Anyway, enough, I've wasted too much time already writing this pointless reply to a stranger whose opinions are as valid as mine.

[@lasseeriksenarnes2870]

there are so many nice ebikes out there. One comon issue many motors have is the effort required to pedal beyond the "speed limit". So far tried Brose (Turbo Levo) and latest BOSCH performance CX (Trek Rail), both have more or less the same characteristic when reaching that limit. On the other hand, the Turbo Levo SL feels like a regular bike when motor cuts off. What is your experience with other motors?

[@peterv7078]

don't pedal going downhill and it's not an issue because you can certainly exceed that limit using only gravity to propel you. After you've been riding for e-bikes for awhile you sort of develop a better sense of when to and when not to pedal and how to carry speed more efficiently. While not intuitive initially, i think your brain figures it out eventually at least mine has. It's all about applying power smoothly and not overbraking if possible.

[@burntcrumpets5616]

Hello. I'm guessing you're over the pond? Mill travel equates to millimetres. The 170 mil/mm he's chatting about is to do with the amount of travel in the front & rear shocks/suspension. The higher travel in suspension is designed for more aggressive trek riding. This also means the ride is less compliant on smoother terrain. Lower suspension travel are a far better choice for all round biking. Here in Europe we can't offer advice regarding throttle only ebikes due to the fact they are illegal hence, banned. All ebikes in Europe are powered only with pedal assist. Throttle only powered bikes are classified as motorbikes in Europe meaning a licence is required to ride them whether they're gasoline or electrically powered. Pedal assisted ebikes here in Europe have a top speed of 25kmph/15.5mph before the motor cuts assisted propulsion. I hope this helps with some of your questions. Kind regards.

ABS on mountain bikes makes no sense, you want to be able to slightly lock the rear brake and kick out the rear. This will only push up the cost and dumb down riding.

[@filiprippel8594]

They only use ABS on the front wheel for this exact reason.

[@jasonterry233]

Would love to see a light weight shootout. Rise vs Exe vs Pivot Shuttle ect..

[@Sunday_Jazz]

Some beautiful bikes! Buying an Ebike this year has been life changing. SO MUCH FUN! I got a Trance X1 and its fantastic. They are very very expensive though. (Paid for it and not on credit that matters to me as I prefer to own my gear vs via being in debt.) That Rocky Mountain looks so good! I can't wait for ABS after market braking to be honest- even if it's just in the front.

[@evo5349]

What you need ABS, get a grip use your common sense you idiot it's called feel through the lever on wet roots and rocks, if e/bikes get anymore expensive you will have a SUV supplied with it.

[@sowbhagyaparida6969]

Please share the websites link to buy these bikes

[@rorydevine7044]

I'm looking for a new mid power sl and was wondering if you are going to do a review on the BH ilynx trail. Thanks from rory... nz

[@RRW]

Do you know where you can buy a Radon in the uk. Thanks

[@TheWeardale1]

the new bikes look absolutely stunning!

[@sthlmcol]

Why all the Vaseline on the lenses when shooting 😝

[@samwise833]

Was hoping trek would have used the newer bosh stuff for 2023 or at least intergrated the display

[@reinholdfischer956]

where is the Cube One 55 SLT that's definitely one of them

[@marekkuzian]

Any suggestion for the biggest frame emtb out there. I'm 6'7 so size is as much consideration as type /assist / price. Cheers

[@bendesousa4629]

YT Decoy 29 XXL or Specialized S6

[@drewl4921]

I have a HT ebike and went to the ebike shop this week to look at full sus ones, had the mrs with me, I’d never seen her so shocked at the prices 🤣 she had no idea

[@mxbadboy263]

The prices are staggering. The price of a dirt bike!

[@drewl4921]

@@mxbadboy263 too right, I’d be interested to know the cost price of these bikes and there profit margins, saying that I have since treated myself!

[@Cinnabuns2009]

I like how some Mtbs are 11k with no motor, no battery, no DI rear derailleur... and then some EMTBs are 8k with motor/battery/elec shifting etc. It just points out the stupidity of the bike industry which... if you're involved with it... sucks. I mean... EMTB for 6k OR... regular MTB with all the same equipment except no motor, no battery, no over engineered rims, same everything else 6k.... da fuq Is the motor and battery free or are we just paying for one on a regular bike that we're not getting? For 6k you can almost buy a brand new dirtbike with petrol motor. The entire industry is such a joke and its a damn shame. If they actually wanted to grow the industry instead of just their wallets that would be evident and its not.

[@joysassoon9003]

I agree and wonder the same. Are we duped? I still want one.

[@squirtmph]

I'm looking for a site from USA, to purchase a use bike. Since would be first purchase I don't know when bicycle could be overly priced. Thanks

[@amoll932]

Focus sam2 6.9

[@damaylaphoenix1155]

any bike you recommend with the bafang m620 motor? i need that 160nm of torque!

[@flippy66]

Nothing about the eZesty? It's not a trail bike but is also superlight. It's 150/150. Prices also need to massively reduce for most people to be able to afford an ebike which is even close to as capable as their mtb.

[@wickedchevy9852]

What would be the best e bike for someone that’s 6ft 6in and 300 pounds

[@BryceLovesTech]

Just like vehicle prices, electric bikes, I’ve gotten out of control with the pricing

[@davegravitt210]

High Power Cycles in the states would blow any of the brands out of the water! Probably cheaper also. Unfortunately.

[@marcinstyczen6892]

Is there a bike which is 29er, with geometry of giant reign e+, with bosh motor, but with battery installed as in canyon spectral? Ideally with higher voltage than this silly 36v. I guess this is the future but I have to wait..

[@rboz4637]

Still waiting going on two years for Shimano to replace my E8000 that failed under warranty! Won't be buying another Shimano powered bike.

[@lucasphelps7868]

is there any extra drag if you ride with no power on

[@lukasvrana6388]

Happy to saw the bike I currently ride :D

[@TarBoysWorldWide]

This clown tells us nothing. He’s obviously just getting a paycheck from each company so he’s telling us to consider buying every bike on the market.

[@markrichards4774]

Anyone know if Specialized is designing a mid-size motor and battery that would fit in the current Levo and kenevo SL frames?

[@Zim1080]

Why would they do that when they can get you to buy a whole new bike? I suspect new, more powerful SLs coming out soon!

[@Lou-xd9ef]

Waiting for a new, real full power Speciliazed Kenevo, not SL. What were they thinking with the SL line?!

[@MartinMartinX]

YT bikes - great quality for great price !

[@sdbackof]

Where would you say the new quietkat jeep rubicon fits into this category? Not really any reviews with jeep version 750 or 1000w (rubicon 1000w only) compared to the other full suspension ebikes

[@cheatoracingteam]

IMO they aren’t really mountain bikes in the context of this channel. They’re more for hunting/exploring etc…

[@petechristakes1064]

thats alot of baloney@@cheatoracingteam

[@chrisknezevich5280]

Norco already has the900 wh battery 🔋 the sight vlt c1 is amazing
