Top 5 2024 Electric Mountain Bikes

[@bikeradar]

What is your opinion on e-bikes?

[@rollwithmemtb]

Making the batteries is an environmental disaster, but everyone wants to go up hill easier.

[@Daffy0208]

Like a 70s commercial 😂

[@amosluyk]

The prices are truly insane!

[@ryanmichels2981]

@@rollwithmemtbDo you happen to have a cellphone? A computer? A car? Hate to break it to you but you probably have batteries in all sorts of devices already, unless you’re Amish.

giant trance x e+ advanced elite is worth mentioning..

[@bikeradar]

We haven't had a chance to ride it yet, but would love too!

[@N3tTurbino]

The market Is going off the rail. These prices are totally meaningless. I've been a heavy bike and motorbike enthusiast for the last 35 years and I can undoubtedly say people should stop throwing money like this. This trend will go down this path more and more...... and there's no damn factual justification!

[@govermentsoundsystem]

I'm very lucky I've got a few bikes & one is a full suspension eeb, different bikes different rides for me 🤪

[@bikeradar]

Different horses for different courses!

[@simonecavicchioli3188]

Io voto la Transition. 👍🚴

[@Shawn-in-da-Canyon]

The Trek EXe should have been in this video. It’s just as good as the Specialized and the Santa Cruz.

[@davefreeman9347]

Agreed I have one and it’s the bomb 👌

[@bikeradar]

The Fuel EXe is a great bike, but we wanted to show some newer options. Doesn't mean the EXe isn't worthy of your cash though, because it is a stonking bike

[@davefreeman9347]

@@bikeradar at the end of the day if a bike puts a smile on you face it’s absolutely worth it 😄👌

[@savagepro9060]

The idea of electric bikes is ridiculous. If you want a motor get a scooter. GC asked --->> "What is your opinion on e-bikes?" I gave mine! I never said DO NOT ride or buy one. I merely said they are NOT bicycles and should not be called such! They have a motor!

[@TheAegisClaw]

So don't buy one. Stop crying about it.

[@halloweennr2]

Soo... you never tried one i think?😂

[@robertatzet3802]

Don't get old then

[@ryanmichels2981]

Did someone force you to watch and comment on this video? Why bother if you don’t care.

[@savagepro9060]

@@ryanmichels2981 I'm not hating on the e-bike, just that it should not be called a bike, it has a motor, call it a motor bike

[@felixwugrabner]

No pinion bike 🤔

[@bikeradar]

Still not many around; we haven't had chance to ride one yet. But definitely one we are keen to try and see how it performs!

[@fredericklockard3854]

It’s funny, I’ve watched several of these “best” videos, and they rarely have the same bikes in their lists.

[@mray8519]

I have a strong motorcycle background and am amused at the pissing and moaning by cheap dudes over the cost of all this amazing technology. Never heard it when KTM, BMW, GasGas, etc., introduced new models.

[@ccutlers4]

Again, but in English please

[@9875Scotty]

I just brought a Nox, absolutely brilliant bike.

SCHRAMM!!!

[@burgieee123]

Best thing to happen to mountain biking since it started 👌🏻👌🏻

[@bikeradar]

Certainly helps more people get out and enjoy the mountains and trails!

[@tombeck129]

@@bikeradarenough already with the nonsense about “helping more people”. People who need help from motors don’t need these high end long travel trail and enduro level bikes. Most of them could not take advantage of 25% of the bike’s capability. We all know this is being pushed on all riders. Just like fat bike craze, gravel bike craze, we now see the e-bike craze. It is all about selling the “next best thing”.

[@eniojurko]

Carbon is a scam! These prices are a scam!

[@Shawn-in-da-Canyon]

Get a second job! 🤣

[@johnh4650]

Got to say you're laying down some truth. Carbon... unlike aluminum, you get microscopic cracks which can lead to a major surprise break at the worst moment. For what .. the weight super small weight difference ? Ill take cost-effective aluminum please Cost ..These things should not cost more than a 240 lb 250cc Motocross motorcycle

[@Shawn-in-da-Canyon]

@@johnh4650 It’s called Economies of Scale. Good bicycles are expensive because bike companies are small and they sell less than a tenth of the units compared to much larger motorcycle companies.

[@marklouieadame]

@@Shawn-in-da-Canyonnot right but we need other competition that can lower the components cost

[@Shawn-in-da-Canyon]

@@marklouieadame Whether you want to believe it or not, that’s the case. There’s already a lot of competition in the bike industry, so more isn’t going to help. For myself, I don’t mind the high prices. It means that when I want to buy a new bike, one will be available for me. And, it weeds out the ghetto trailer trash on the trails.

[@michaelmann3636]

The future is Pinion gear box electric.

[@davidraffe3445]

They look amazing, but that'll be the future where I'm a rich man

[@bikeradar]

We can't wait to try one, as it makes so much sense on paper!

[@davidraffe3445]

I want one, but batteries need to get a whole lot cheaper first. Also, bikes are just a rip off in general these days. It's frustrating when industry commentators talk about £5k bikes as though they are cheap. Where are the aluminium models? Personally as I'm not racing, I don't need carbon on a full suspension mtb. Where are the low end group sets - they seem to work just the same for a fraction off the $? Happy to pay a bit extra for decent damping, but what about some hard tail options or even dare i say it, fully rigid. I'm not made of gold!

[@bikeradar]

The batteries are indeed very expensive! I don't we'd ever say a £5k bike is cheap, but sadly it is where the market finds itself these days. Everything is more expensive and bikes are another example. We'd love to go back to the days of £1500 Specialized Pitch's and XTR cassettes that cost less than £100, but sadly I don't think we'll see that any time soon, if ever 😟 Cars are the same; a Ford Focus 20 years ago started from under £15k, now they're barely under £29k, so nearly double

[@mattrohr1266]

Everyone complains about how expensive everything is, and the real reason is governments, overregulation- printing money and huge corruption and waste. That is who is really to blame. The Left@@bikeradar

[@troup1998]

Aventon Ramblas $2699 Velotric Summit 1 $1799; both are entry level hardtail eMTB. I'm not expert on them but the Summit seems to have more features (class 3); Ramblas seems to have higher quality parts but only class 2 + dropper seat.

[@Tuesdaysgonewtw]

Cost more than a motorcycle------what a joke.
