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 .

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

@danielsimmonds5162 8 ай бұрын

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!! 👍🏻😁

Not sure how it is in UK, but here in the States, Trek and Specialized are offering up to 25% off brand new models. Inventory is so full, they have '22 models still available. You can get a bargain and retail experience.

@sigurdrille9693 8 ай бұрын

That was a really good and informative video! Thx!! For me, weight is a major factor (carrying up stairs, getting it in the van etc, not so much when riding the bike as I am more of a crosscountry-enjoy guy). Not so much to find at the light emtb end when considering manufacturers prices. There are a lot of great discounts in the market, though, getting you a lot of bang for the buck also… but not below €4K.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

@lozetchells9164 8 ай бұрын

Great to see some good options just north of 3k, but I have to say I would advise anyone getting their first EMTB to get the very very best they can possibly afford, it'll save in the long run, especially as things like battery and motor can't be upgraded, and even drivetrain often costs a mint to step up. Buy cheap, buy twice

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.
