Why noone speak about Radon when they do price/stuff ratings?
1999 euro decathlon e expl with Yamaha mid motor!
canyon torque on: AL you didnt mention… 4500€, 170/160!! The only cat5 emtb I know of. A monster to rule them all
Cannondale Moterra Neo 4. In Portugal and Spain prices from 3000€ to 3800€ online. I bought mine 3200€. I'm a Cannondale fan (I don't know why but…) and love this e-MTB, good build, very pleased with Shimano EP8 motor. Until now nothing bad to say.
Hi Adam, Great video as usual, I have the Decathlon E-ST 900 mid drive using a brose motor/display @ 70nm, 500Wh Samsung battery with Rock Shox judy up front, Shimano Deore drive train, Hydraulic brakes, great value at £1700. OK it's a hard tail and the tyres could be better but great fun for the price
The Cube Stereo Hybrid 160 HPC Race has all these bikes beaten on price and spec, plus it has a carbon frame and the latest Gen 4 Bosch motor. Brand new up to date bike going from £3000 to £3500.
Great video! Any thoughts on the Ride 1 up Prodigy XC? Seems hard to beat at the price point.
You want an awesome " budget " full suspension mid drive ebike that you can shred pretty much anything on, check out the Dengfu E55. Loaded with quality components for very reasonable price. You can thank me later lol. Oh, I forgot, carbon frame too.
Cube don't get a lot of "airtime" with you guys, but I have a hard tail and full sus and they are really competent here in the Scottish Borders (Glentress!).
We are lucky to have a main dealer in Galashiels too!
Bosch still seems to cut it over Yamaha, Shimano motors as well.
Happy E-biking
"EMTB, like a MTB, but way Cooler!! 👍🏻😁
what about eahora?
for a cheap mid motor hard tail bike the haibike hard nine is cracking budget bike ,which you can slowly upgrade into a cracking hard tail
I just got my 2023 full carbon turbo levo for $3500. I cant believe they were blowing them out so cheap. Probably wont ever be a better deal.
Is it possible (or a good idea) to use an e-mtb for Uber eats delivery/ groceries during winter in Toronto, Canada? Can a bike rack be mounted on these?
Radon Jealous 9 750 without a doubt
Nearly year ago Canyon had substantial price reduction on entry level e-mtb full sus and got Neuron:On for 3keur. After that prices have dropped with several other brands as well.
Great video, but it makes me so sad that a decent entry-level full-sus emtb is nearly $4k….guess I'm sticking to analogue for now.
Just bought a GASGAS TRail 3 for $3900 delivery to my door canadian. That like 40% off. It has factory fox 150mm suspension. Carbon frame with aluinuim rear triangle, Kinda old tech yamaha motor but for that price I am ok with it. I have been waiting for e-bikes prices to drop for a long time.
Serious buyers should realize that most " best" lists are incomplete due to time constraints by channel owners . the amount of high quality bikes out there is huge . for example , Germany has over 40 companies , then there's france , spain , italy , scandinavia etc .
my advice is buy a bike that uses well known and reliable motors , batteries and components , with parts and service near where you live .
I have a decathlon e st500 but I use it for just dirt road and street road so it’s fine I chose it over the 100 for the mid-drive system as this is a great feature when surmounting a large hill but don’t expect to bound over crazy mountains at break neck speeds just get around both country and city roads
Sir your channel deserves way more subs.
i bought a hyper full suspension e-ride for 1300 cad im happy with it for now
when i get some more money saved ill buy a nicer one
I don't want a carbon frame. Aluminium alloy is better, cheaper and it won't break so easily when you fall.
Like every other YouTube video on planet Earth just fast forward to the middle to start
Why are they charging motorcycles money? Crazy over priced.
These bikes should be more expensive.
Waiting for someone to do a review of the On One THUNDERHOUND hardtail E-MTB… please 🙏🏿
Mountain bike prices are DISGUSTING, i'd rather walk everywhere than give ANY kind of money towards the bike industry, prices are just obscene,….price for a second hand vehicle = £5k-£8k, price for a 'decent' mountain bike = £6 – £11K,..GTFOH, NEVER going to buy a bike as long as i can still breath.
Truly, what an absolute pleasure to have a very pacey, insightful and succinct review of some of the myriad realtively low cost EMTB's with worthwhile important points to note clearly identified. If only more reviews were of this calibre (sic)….
