The Bionicon brand has always been deeply rooted in the mountain bike scene. It's clear that the Bavarians haven't missed the trend towards motorised mountain bikes.

Bosch is the major motor manufacturer in the EMTB world, alongside Shimano - and it's no surprise, as the Performance Line CX shows. The Bosch motor takes away the fear of even the steepest ramps. The combination of a very well-rounded riding feeling and a dynamic power delivery characterises the Bosch Performance Line CX. The well-tuned driving modes hit the mark. Whoever enjoys longer tours will be pleased with the good range.

At a glance

The most importanten ratings of the Bionicon Jesse FS 1 ⬤ in comparison to the competitor bikes of following categorie: (4000) ⬤.

Rough descents take away some of the fear thanks to the average chassis. The average shifting components and accessories leave some tuning potential open. For most e-bikers, this should be an acceptable point. The trend is going towards increasingly longer main frames. With a very high Reach Value, Bionicon meets this trend. However, especially inexperienced riders must be aware that it takes a brave body effort to maneuver the Jesse FS 1.

Conclusion

Expirience with the Bionicon Jesse FS 1

The Jesse FS 1 isnt`t a specialist on the trail. Despite a simple brake system and an average chassis, it remains thanks to a good motor and a great range a solid all-rounder with a wide range of use.
