Even electric mountain bikes, which often have some of the most complicated components to be trail-tough, are available at competitive prices. That said, some riders accustomed to the prices of standard bikes might experience a bit of sticker shock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two main types of budget electric mountain bikes in the current market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Entry-Level \u201cOff-Road\u201d E-Bikes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The first are entry-level models that I would classify as \u201coff-road bikes\u201d. They are a bit pared down compared to dedicated MTBs but come with the classic MTB features such as wide tires, front <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rei.com\/learn\/expert-advice\/suspension.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">suspension<\/a>, and big-range gearing. Relevant brands include <a href=\"https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/rad-power-5-plus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rad Power Bikes<\/a>, Ancheer, and Himiway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They are heavily marketed as \u201cmountain bikes\u201d but aren\u2019t actually designed for fast singletrack or big jumps. However, they do great on light terrain, dirt paths, and traversing between pavement and the rougher stuff. They are priced from $2,000 to $4,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"> 2. Dedicated eMTBs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The second category includes the affordable models of dedicated electric mountain bikes with all the hard-hitting capabilities you\u2019d expect from trail-munching machines\u2026 plus, there\u2019s a high-powered motor. These bikes can do everything high-end standard mountain bikes can do and more since they have mid-drive motors to tackle the steepest of climbs. This category is well represented by big brands such as Trek, Specialized, Santa Cruz, Canyon, and Giant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With those name-brand manufacturers comes a higher price tag, but the significant increase in cost is justified considering all these bikes have high-performance mid-drive motors rather than less effective hub-drive systems. <a href=\"https:\/\/evelo.com\/pages\/evelo-difference__advantages-mid-drive-motor-vs-hub-motor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mid-drive motors<\/a> sit between the pedals, and since the extra weight sits low and central on the bike, the center of gravity is as close as possible to that of standard mountain bikes, making it handle much more naturally out on the trails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These bikes are priced between $4,000 and $6,000, much cheaper than their high-end sibling, which can easily cost more than $10,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How I Picked the Best Budget Electric Mountain Bikes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"950\" height=\"633\" src=\"https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Cube-Stereo-Hybrid-140-HPC-Pro-625-electric-bike-mid-drive-motor-1.jpg\" alt=\"Cube Stereo Hybrid 140 HPC Pro 625 electric bike mid drive motor 1\" class=\"wp-image-4304\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Cube-Stereo-Hybrid-140-HPC-Pro-625-electric-bike-mid-drive-motor-1.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Cube-Stereo-Hybrid-140-HPC-Pro-625-electric-bike-mid-drive-motor-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Cube-Stereo-Hybrid-140-HPC-Pro-625-electric-bike-mid-drive-motor-1-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Cube Stereo Hybrid 140 HPC Pro 625 electric bike mid-drive motor. <em>Cube<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The competition between brands for the best eMTB is getting increasingly close as more manufacturers enter the market and create their own models. Many of those models are not worth your hard-earned cash since they are more about the biking fad rather than quality design and trail capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve considered dozens of brands and numerous models and finalized my selection of eMTBs that I think are well worth the money. The models reviewed below span various price points and have different features to match your unique riding style. I also made sure to include bikes from popular brands that are widely available either online or at your local bike shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My research is based on manufacturer specs, expert opinion, and numerous user reviews, resulting in a well-rounded impression of how the bike and its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/the-razor-e300-electric-scooter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">electric motors perform<\/a> out there in the big bad world of mountain biking. Here are the specific criteria I used while judging these models and calculating an overall score:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Trail Performance<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The best eMTBs have the same trail capabilities as standard, non-motorized models, including responsive handling, plush suspension, and grippy tires. Extra watts shouldn\u2019t sacrifice on-mountain performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Motor<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A quality motor means plenty of torque, reliable internal components, and smooth acceleration (ideally due to a torque sensor).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Battery<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Name-brand components are a plus here since we know they are worth it and rigorously quality-checked so the battery can go the distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Price<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With so many bikes on the market, deals are to be had. I chose bikes that are an excellent overall package with an affordable price tag to match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Compare the Best Budget eMTBs at a Glance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Model<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Takeaway<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Motor<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Travel<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Battery<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Rating<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Price<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Where to buy?<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong><strong>Haibike ALLMTN 3<\/strong><\/strong><\/td><td>Best Overall eMTB<\/td><td>Bosch Gen4 Performance CX 250W<\/td><td>160\/150mm<\/td><td>625 watt hours<\/td><td>9.5\/10<\/td><td>$4,639.93<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/go\/haibike-allmtn-3-rei\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Check price<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong><strong>Trek Powerfly 4<\/strong><\/strong><\/td><td>Best Short-Travel eMTB<\/td><td><br>Bosch Performance CX 250W<\/td><td>Front 120mm<\/td><td>Bosch Powertube 500Wh<\/td><td>9\/10<\/td><td>$3,849.99<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/go\/trek-powerfly-4-trek-bikes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Check price<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong><strong>Co-op Cycles CTY e2.1<\/strong><\/strong><\/td><td>Best eMTB for Reliability<\/td><td>Shimano E5000 250W<\/td><td>75mm front<\/td><td>Shimano E8014 36V\/418Wh battery<\/td><td>8.5\/10<\/td><td>$1,438.93<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/go\/co-op-cycles-cty-e21-rei\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Check price<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>RadRover 6 Plus<\/strong><\/td><td>Best eMTB on a Tight Budget<\/td><td>Rad Power 750W rear hub-drive<\/td><td>60mm front fork<\/td><td>589-672Wh<\/td><td>8.5\/10<\/td><td>$1,999<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/go\/radrover-6-plus-rad-power-bikes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Check price<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Cube Stereo Hybrid 140 HPC Pro 625<\/strong><\/td><td>Best Budget Race eMTB<\/td><td>Bosch Performance CX G4<\/td><td>140\/140mm<\/td><td>625Wh Powertube<\/td><td>9\/10<\/td><td>$5,799<\/td><td>&#8211;<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-container-core-group-layout-3 wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\" style=\"margin-top:2em;margin-bottom:2em;padding-top:0em;padding-right:0em;padding-bottom:0em;padding-left:0em\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"margin-top:0em;margin-right:0em;margin-bottom:0em;margin-left:0em\">Best Overall eMTB<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px\"><strong>1.

Trusted brand Haibike makes all the right commentary decisions to put together great parts while staying within budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This generation of the ALLMTN 3 tucks the high-capacity 625Wh battery completely within the frame for a sleeker look. Rated as an enduro model, there is a slack head tube angle and steep seat angle for aggressive handling downhill. If you need more juice, there\u2019s the optional Haibike Range Extender, an external battery that helps you cover more distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One special characteristic is the ALLMTN\u2019s mullet wheelset, meaning the front wheel measures 29\u201d while the rear diameter is 27.5\u201d. This mixed setup combines the best of both worlds, lowering the front wheel\u2019s angle of attack on obstacles and preserving agility at the rear of the bike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the heart of this ebike is the Bosch Gen4 Performance CX 250W motor, which provides super reliable power and a great range from the battery. The motor isn\u2019t the most powerful but should get you up most hills with ease. This detail dropped my rating by half a point, but this ebike is a true trail-shredding machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ALLMTN 3 is rated as a Class 1 ebike, meaning it provides pedal assistance up to 20 mph. That should be appropriate for almost all of your local trails, even the routes that have ebike speed or power restrictions. I appreciate the integrated dropper post for on-the-fly adjustment, too. Enjoy this Haibike offering with full-suspension and motorized assistance\u2014 it\u2019s the best of both worlds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">OUR VERDICT<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Mullet-wheelset electric mountain bike with full suspension specs at a competitive price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-left is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-layout-1 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button cta-button is-style-fill\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/go\/haibike-allmtn-3-rei\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Buy from REI<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-container-core-group-layout-6 wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\" style=\"margin-top:2em;margin-bottom:2em;padding-top:0em;padding-right:0em;padding-bottom:0em;padding-left:0em\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"margin-top:0em;margin-right:0em;margin-bottom:0em;margin-left:0em\">Best Short-Travel eMTB<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px\"><strong>2.

Technically a short-travel hardtail, the front suspension fork provides 100mm of travel and there\u2019s no rear suspension. These modest specs make this MTB a great all-rounder that feels at home on the trails and dashing through city streets\u2014 it could make the ultimate commuter, too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trek is one of my favorite brands because of its fantastic offerings and dedication to innovation since their humble Wisconsin beginnings. The Powerfly is driven by a Bosch Performance Line CX motor with up to 85 Nm of torque and an intelligent eMTB mode. Like the ALLMTN 3, there\u2019s an optional Removable Integrated Battery (RIB) to extend rides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Powerfly is also available in a full-suspension version for riders who need additional travel on the most demanding routes. The model has size-specific wheelsets for a better fit based on rider height. Size XS and S frames come with 27.5\u201d wheels while the larger frames have 29\u201d rims.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Smart details in the drive unit include a walk mode and an intelligent eMTB setting that automatically adjusts the amount of power that\u2019s optimized for the terrain. At the end of the day, the hardtail design may limit where you can explore, but if you stick to tamer routes, the Powerfly is a sure bet. I would love to have a bit more travel so I can\u2019t give this bike a perfect 10, but it\u2019s close to mountain-top perfection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">OUR VERDICT<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Reliable and versatile hardtail electric mountain bike with an excellent Bosch drive unit.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-left is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-layout-2 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button cta-button is-style-fill\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/go\/trek-powerfly-4-trek-bikes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Buy from Trek Bikes<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-container-core-group-layout-9 wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\" style=\"margin-top:2em;margin-bottom:2em;padding-top:0em;padding-right:0em;padding-bottom:0em;padding-left:0em\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"margin-top:0em;margin-right:0em;margin-bottom:0em;margin-left:0em\">Best eMTB for Reliability<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px\"><strong>3.

This is another solid entry-level eMTB that boasts quality components and still clocks in at an affordable price point. On sale now for under $1,500, few electric mountain bikes can compete with such a great deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This model is a short-travel hardtail ebike with a Suntour MOBIE-A32 fork offering just 75mm of front suspension. This is about the minimum cushion for a mountain bike, limiting the CTY e2.1 to smooth trails and city streets. The extremely short suspension lowers my rating but for versatile riders and commuters, this could be the ultimate all-rounder.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Class 1 categorization means this bike operates in pedal assists up to 20 pmh. The motor is a Shimano E5000 250W&nbsp; with 40 Nm of torque that hooks up to a&nbsp; Shimano E8014 418Wh battery pack. Unlike other fully integrated models on this list, the battery is semi-integrated into the downtube. Some riders may want a more seamless look, but I don\u2019t mind the appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, it\u2019s hard to beat a Co-op ebike due to its impressive versatility offered at a great price. It\u2019s a bike that can attack your local dirt trails and the frame-integrated rear rack comes ready to assist on errands around town. I would love to see a dropper post and some more robust tires for the price, but if you are just starting out with mountain ebiking, the Co-op CTY e2.1 is a no-brainer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">OUR VERDICT<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Electric bike with integrated rear rack and entry-level specs, offered at a solid price.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-left is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-layout-3 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button cta-button is-style-fill\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/go\/co-op-cycles-cty-e21-rei\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Buy from REI<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-container-core-group-layout-13 wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\" style=\"margin-top:2em;margin-bottom:2em;padding-top:0em;padding-right:0em;padding-bottom:0em;padding-left:0em\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"margin-top:0em;margin-right:0em;margin-bottom:0em;margin-left:0em\">Best eMTB on a Tight Budget<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px\">4.

This model isn\u2019t a full-blown eMTB like the other bikes on this list but is rather an off-road capable ebike for riders who traverse a variety of terrains. The hardtail setup and wide tires perform just as well on light trails as city streets\u2014 the 6 Plus can double as a commuter as well as a weekend joyride machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are on the hunt for a multipurpose ebike instead of a dedicated trail-smashing ebike, the Rad Rover 6 Plus is the best in its class. The recently upgraded semi-integrated battery refines the look over a fully externally mounted battery pack, and there\u2019s a throttle mode for extra fun.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, there are still some downsides to this entry-level electric mountain bike. Unlike the other bikes on this list, the Rad Rover 6 Plus utilizes a rear hub motor instead of a mid-drive unit. This means there\u2019s a significant amount of extra weight at the back end of the bike, throwing off the bike\u2019s balance. This can encourage a fun, zippy ride feel but isn\u2019t as good for technical handling down the slopes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lower quality motor and short-travel suspension cause me to lower my rating by two points, but it\u2019s still an impressive package that\u2019s loaded with useful features.

I remember the Cube brand as one of the first manufacturers producing high-performance electric mountain bikes, and they have perfected that tradition with this model, outfitted with aesthetic tan sidewall tires, Bosch CX motor, and sleek frame geometry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The suspension package is superior to its rivals and features a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sram.com\/en\/rockshox\/models\/fs-35s-r-a1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">RockShox 35 Silver fork<\/a> and RockShox Deluxe Select rear shock with 140mm of travel on each. This setup takes the cake for the highest-end suspension package on this list so you can smash any descent with confidence. eMTB racing is becoming more popular and this is a great option for chasing the enduro podiums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The mechanical components on this trail machine include Shimano Deore 1&#215;11-speed gearing and Magura MT Thirty hydraulic disc brakes with four-piston calipers. That\u2019s plenty of performance to get you up the toughest climbs and stay in control on the fast downhill sections.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Riders will have to open their wallet a bit wider to afford the Cube Stereo Hybrid, but it&#8217;s a rare opportunity to get your hands on such innovative tech. The bike is called a hybrid not because of its intended use but, rather, due to the two-part frame. The main frame triangle is made from advanced twin-mold carbon fiber while the rear triangle is constructed from 6061 aluminum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, we have a bike with a dropper post! No bike can be perfect, though, and I have to lower my rating by a point because of the slightly high price tag. This offering from Cube ticks all the boxes and more for riders looking to make a worthwhile investment in a great eMTB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">OUR VERDICT<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>High-end electric mountain bike with killer suspension specs and hybrid frame construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"inherit-container-width wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"margin-top:2em;margin-bottom:2em;padding-top:0em;padding-right:0em;padding-bottom:0em;padding-left:0em\">\n<p style=\"font-size:22px\"><strong>You May Also Like:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul style=\"padding-left:2em\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/best-electric-mountain-bikes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">5 Best Electric Mountain Bikes  <\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/best-electric-bikes-under-1000\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Best Electric Bikes Under $1000<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/best-beginner-mountain-bike\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">9 Best Beginner Mountain Bikes <\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Budget Electric Mountain Bike Buyers\u2019 Guide<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Buying a new eMTB can be a big decision, so it\u2019s important to select the right bike for you with the most appropriate features for your riding style. I\u2019ll break down the simple steps of finding the perfect electric mountain bike, starting with the initial decisions that will help narrow down your choice to a more manageable quantity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hardtail or Full-Suspension?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The easiest way to start honing in on your ideal mountain bike is to decide whether you want a hardtail model or a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/full-suspension-mountain-bikes-under-3000\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">full-suspension setup<\/a>. These different suspension options make a huge impact on the trails and are also a visible difference between models that can make browsing on the web a bit more efficient\u2014 most websites allow you to sort by these two categories, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hardtail eMTBs are designed for lighter terrain and are less expensive than full-suspension builds that come with a rear shock. If you are looking for a comfortable setup that can also go off-road, a hardtail eMTB will give you plenty of performance. Full suspension is the right choice if you are a dedicated trail shredder who wants to explore serious MTB routes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Motor and Watts\u2014 What Does it All Mean?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The next important factor is the electric motor. I highly recommend mid-drive motors over hub-drive motors for mountain bikes since they preserve the natural low center of gravity crucial to responsive handling on the trails. Hub-drive motors add a significant amount of weight to the rear end that can throw off the balance you are used to on standard bikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The higher the watts, the greater the power output of a motor. This is critical for getting up to speed quickly and maintaining a top speed. Another aspect to check over is torque\u2014 more torque allows the motor to work efficiently under strain (think: steep climbs or in tough conditions like mud or sand).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Battery and Range<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>eMTBs also vary in the distance they can travel on a single charge. If you frequently go on long rides or expect to use the higher power settings on the motor, you\u2019re better off getting the biggest you can, something above 500Wh or approaching 20Ah. For riders who mostly use the lower pedal-assist levels, the range is less of a problem, and most models will last a full day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Accessories<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most interesting parts of eMTBs is their tech-savvy accessories and finishing touches. Accessories are, well\u2026 accessories, so they aren\u2019t exactly necessary, but they can make a big difference to the ride experience. For example, some ebikes have apps to track your rides and customize your bike\u2019s settings. Others come with integrated front and rear lights connected to the battery, so you\u2019ll always have charged lights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frame and Wheel Size<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Last but not least, pick the correct frame and wheel size according to your height. Check out the frame size chart below for a rough estimate of the frames that will fit your measurements, but it\u2019s best practice to review the manufacturer\u2019s own chart that\u2019s calculated for the specific bike you are interested in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/bike-wheel-size-chart\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wheel size<\/a> is also related to rider height, but is a bit looser with the rules. Smaller 27.5\u201d wheels work better for shorter riders, but plenty of petite cyclists run 29ers. Large 29\u201d hoops allow for higher speeds over bigger obstacles but don\u2019t feel as zippy and agile as their 27.5\u201d siblings. Wheel choice depends on your height and riding style, so I suggest getting on a few bikes and testing riding them if you can!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Electric Mountain Bike Size Chart<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Height (ft\/in)<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Height (cm)<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Leg inseam (inches)<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Leg inseam (cm)<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Suggested Frame Size (in)<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Suggested Wheel Size<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>4&#8217;10 &#8211; 5&#8217;3&#8243;<\/strong><\/td><td>147-160cm<\/td><td>25 &#8211; 28&#8243;<\/td><td>62-70 cm<\/td><td>13 &#8211; 14&#8243;<\/td><td>26&#8243;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>5&#8217;4 &#8220;- 5&#8217;7&#8221;<\/strong><\/td><td>160 &#8211; 170cm<\/td><td>25 &#8211; 30&#8243;<\/td><td>63 &#8211; 76 cm<\/td><td>15 &#8211; 16&#8243;<\/td><td>27.5&#8243;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>5&#8217;5&#8243; &#8211; 5&#8217;9&#8243;<\/strong><\/td><td>165 &#8211; 175cm<\/td><td>26 &#8211; 31&#8243;<\/td><td>66 &#8211; 78 cm<\/td><td>16 &#8211; 17&#8243;<\/td><td>27.5&#8243;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>5&#8217;9&#8243; &#8211; 6&#8217;0&#8243;<\/strong><\/td><td>175 &#8211; 183cm<\/td><td>27 &#8211; 32&#8243;<\/td><td>68 &#8211; 81 cm<\/td><td>17 &#8211; 18&#8243;<\/td><td>27.5&#8243;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>6&#8217;0&#8243; &#8211; 6&#8217;3&#8243;<\/strong><\/td><td>183 &#8211; 190cm<\/td><td>28 &#8211; 33&#8243;<\/td><td>71 &#8211; 83 cm<\/td><td>18 &#8211; 19&#8243;<\/td><td>29&#8243;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>6&#8217;1&#8243; &#8211; 6&#8217;6&#8243;<\/strong><\/td><td>190 &#8211; 200cm<\/td><td>29 &#8211; 34&#8243;<\/td><td>73 &#8211; 86 cm<\/td><td>19&#8243; +<\/td><td>29&#8243;<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Frequently Asked Questions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1665410829671\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Which company is best for an electric bike?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">While no single company can claim that title, some stand-out brands include Giant, Canyon, Vitus, Cube, and Rad Power Bikes.

Class 2 and Class 3 ebikes are the most powerful categories and have a throttle mode, but Class 1 pedal-assisted models are allowed on most trails these days.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1665410896612\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Are electric mountain bikes worth it?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">o matter your reason for thinking about getting an ebike, they come with tons of advantages. The main one being you\u2019ll receive extra assistance when you need it to climb steep hills and reach remote destinations. The motor hikes up the price but will allow you to keep up with stronger riders and enjoy more of the mountain.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1665410928722\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What are the disadvantages of electric bikes?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The main disadvantages of electric bikes are the higher price and added weight of the motor and battery. All that technology added to the bike understandably spikes the price but also brings some serious benefits. The heavy motor and battery can also alter the balance and the bike&#8217;s handling.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Electric mountain bikes take the sting out of climbs so you can spend more time ripping down descents and enjoying the trails.
