emtb-test.com provides the full e-mountain bike market overview

Only our e-mountain bike reviews provides the complete market overview. Our unique testing system doesn’t just look at a small selection of emtbs. Unlike any other median, our innovative approach allows us to test every e-mountain bike available. And to help you find your dream e-bike for your individual needs, you can sort through all the emtb reviews super easily using our filters. This is made possible by our huge database of e-mountain bikes and bike parts. Overall, we look at each emtb uniformly in over 100 meaningful criteria, which are hidden in the specification and the frame. So exactly and uniformly only we give our experience on e-mountainbikes.

Which e-mountainbike components are used for evaluation

Overall, we look at each bike uniformly in over 100 meaningful criteria, which should give you a very good and detailed idea about your future e-bike. Our review takes into account all components that are relevant to the riding experience. The main components considered in our e-mountain bike rating system are:

Motor
Battery
Groupset
Brake
Tires
Wheels
Suspension
Seatpost
Frame
Handlebars
Stem

The more than 100 criteria – which we evaluate in a standardized manner – are weighed up independently, depending on the intended use. And that´s the key to our statement quality. Our goal is not only to compare two rear derailleurs that are installed on different e-bikes, but a lot more: we want to give you an impression of the riding experience that you can expect from your future bike. And to do so, we have not only broken down and weighed up evaluation criteria in detail, but have also taken a look at the geometry of all bikes. But first things first.

We also review the e-mountainbike geometry

Anyone who deals intensively with e-mountainbikes before buying a e-bike is quickly overwhelmed by the technical jargon of the industry. Reach, stack, steering angle are important geometry measures that significantly influence the handling of a mountain bike. We therefore not only evaluated the equipment of each e-bike, but also took a detailed look at its geometry. So that you don’t have to take a degree in mountain bike science yourself, we analyzed the geometry of all bikes uniformly and drew conclusions for our test. With this analysis, we give you the following information at hand:

How coherent is the geometry for the range of use of this e-bike?
How does the seating position of this emtb turn out: Sporty or comfortable?
How is the handling of this e-bike on the trail: playful or smooth?
Does the frame size run large or small?

This is how you can interpret our e-mountainbike reviews

Our e-mountainbike tests not only gives you an absolute assessment of the specifictaion of an EMTB. To make it as easy as possible for you, we have also compared our test results with the relevant market environment. In the radar graphic you can see how the individual assemblies perform in our test. The purple graphic represents the average values from the relevant market environment. You can see the strengths and weaknesses of each e-bike at a glance. Our price/performance slider tells you at a glance how much bike you get for your money in a holistic view.

These are the groupsets you should take a look when buying a new bike

In order to represent the complex product of mountain biking as simply as possible, we have divided the equipment into different assemblies and reflect the absolute value in this spider web diagram. The larger the blue area under the respective point (brakes, chassis, gears, wheels, geometry), the higher the quality of this assembly. We not only evaluate these criteria, but also compare them directly with the relevant market environment (purple chart).

To give you not only an absolute assessment of the equipment, we have also compared it with the relevant market environment. Our price/performance slider tells you at a glance how much bike you get for your money.

Every rating that somehow flows into an EMTB test on emtb-test.com can be traced back to one fact. And most importantly in the whole thing remains: EVERY EMTB, REGARDLESS OF MANUFACTURER, IS TREATED EXACTLY THE SAME.

Which type of e-mountain bike should I buy?

The primary question of how much you want to spend on your new E-MTB is essential. If your budget is under 3000 euros, you will inevitably end up with e-hardtails. Hardtails are mountain bikes that only have a suspension fork but no suspension in the rear. Because E-Hardtails are only suspended in the front, they are not only less comfortable than E-MTB Fullys. They are also less off-road capable. Conversely, this means that if you want to have fun off-road with an E-MTB, you need an E-MTB Fully. Only from 3300 euros there are good E-MTB Fullys. More on this topic can be found in this article. Lightweight E-MTBs with light motors are also ruled out from the outset for a budget of less than 5000 euros. As a guide, however, you can say here: An E-MTB under 20 kilos costs 5000 euros and more. Because no matter which E-MTB manufacturer and which model, the partly noble light E-MTBs are simply not cheaper. If you want to spend about 4500 to 5500 euros for a new E-MTB, you can draw from the full and have a free choice of E-Mountainbike types and models – from SUV E-MTB with full equipment to the comfortable E-MTB-Fully for long tours. How much good e-mountain bikes cost, we explain in detail in this article.
