R Raymon HardRay E 2.0 Review

R Raymon relies on an attached battery for its most affordable e-mountain bike. Nevertheless, the HardRay E 2.0 does not look clunky.
At steep sections, the somewhat weak Yamaha motor requires a lot of initiative from the biker. The Yamaha PW-CE gives off a natural riding feeling. The short range unfortunately limits the tour radius quite significantly.

At a glance

The most importanten ratings of the R Raymon HardRay E 2.0 in comparison to the competitor bikes of following categorie: (2000) .

The bad SR Suntour fork suspension transmits bumps relatively clearly to the rider. The drivetrain and components have a subordinate but not to be neglected importance when it comes to EMTB. Even the bike brand product managers know this and don't aim too high with mostly average components. On winding trails, the playful handling comes to the fore, as the bike masters even the fastest direction changes with the short wheelbase playfully. The small 27.5 inch wheels give the bike a lively character. Furthermore, the bike lies excellent on the trail thanks to its low bottom bracket and thus low centre of gravity.

Conclusion


Expirience with the R Raymon HardRay E 2.0

The HardRay E 2.0 is more of a casual tourer than a hardcore off-road vehicle. Using it for commuting or leisurely trips over forest and meadow paths is no problem for the HardRay E 2.0. If you're looking for a vehicle for use on demanding trails, you'll have to dig deeper into your pocket. Be careful when choosing the size: The Aluminium frame sizing runs big.
