Rockrider 27.5″ Electric Mountain Bike E-ST 500 – Mid-Drive Motor Review

At steep sections, the somewhat weak Brose motor requires a lot of initiative from the biker. The Brose Drive C Alu gives off a natural riding feeling. Fans of XXL tours are greatly restricted by the E-ST 500 27.5 , because of its low range.

As the bumps get bigger and rougher the average SR Suntour fork limits the downhill fun. The average shifting components and accessories leave some tuning potential open. For most e-bikers, this should be an acceptable point. If the Meta's chainstay length is less than 445, the short chainstay and, if the Reach's Relative Rating is less than 3, the relatively short reach characterise the Rockrider as a playful, agile bike. This makes it easy to navigate through winding trails. The 27.5 inch wheels additionally emphasize the playful character. The low bottom bracket height will likely be a sticking point for trail riders, as it negatively affects handling. Short chainstays and and a slack seat angle make the front end light in steep climbs. To keep the front wheel on the ground, you need to consciously lean forward.
