What are electric mountain bikes?

Electric mountain bikes are identical in components and features to traditional mountain bikes, but they have an electric assistance system that increases pedaling power through an electric motor, which is powered by of a battery integrated in the frame of the bike. The assisted pedaling system of your mountain ebike allows you to face all kinds of obstacles and climbs in a much easier way, so you will be able to make longer and harder routes and getaways with the help of its electric motor.

Electric mountain bikes usually have between 3 and 5 assistance modes, and you can change them to your liking according to the intensity of the route, also the assistance speed is limited to 25 km/h. The autonomy of the battery will depend on several factors: the type of battery, the difference in level, the assistance mode used, not only the weight of the user but also the extras that you carry, etc. but it usually has between 50km and 120km of autonomy. Also in some mountain ebikes you can put a double battery with which you extend the autonomy up to 200 km.

Advantages of electric MTBs

Buying an electric mountain bike means you'll be able to tackle the steepest inclines and rugged terrain with less effort. Its main advantage, compared to traditional mountain bikes, lies in the pedal assist device that generates a push while pedaling and reduces the effort you must take to move the bicycle. In addition also:

- They allow anyone to face demanding terrain, regulating the necessary effort.

- The electrical device is very light so its weight is not perceived when We drive through the mountains.

- Electric bikes are starting to be cheap, therefore they are an alternative to traditional bikes.

- It is a clean energy system, which does not produce any waste in the environment.

- They are prepared for use in any terrain and condition: rain, mud and adverse circumstances.

How much does an electric bike cost?

As with all electric bicycles , the price changes depending on the motor and battery that they carry and the components with which each ebike is equipped. In our electric bicycle stores you will find all kinds of mountain ebikes at different prices. The price will be marked by the type of components with which each electric mtb is equipped. If they are carbon fiber frames, the price will be higher than if the frame is made of aluminum. It also depends on the type of suspensions they have, type of brakes or type of development and change. Another important point to determine the price is the type of motor and battery, it is not the same to take a Bosch motor with a larger battery than a Yamaha with a 400Wh or 500Wh battery.

The most important thing in an electric mountain bike and that we highly recommend is that the motor that the ebike has is central, that is, that it is in the bottom bracket and that it transmits the force directly to the pedaling. The best motors for this type of ebikes are Bosch, Yamaha or Shimano.

Types of electric mountain bikes

In the world of electric mtbs there are two large groups, Hardtail or semi-rigid ebikes, which only have front suspension, and electric double-suspension mountain bikes. The difference in comfort and the way to face the routes is very different, but the price also varies a lot between one and the other. At LaBosch we recommend choosing a full suspension e-bike because this type of electric bike works better in terms of grip, so you can go at faster speeds with the same effort as a hardtail ebike. The best thing about electric bikes with front suspension is the price, they are cheaper than full suspension bikes with a difference of between €500 and €1,000.

Where do electric bicycles have the motor located?

There are 2 positions in which the motor of an electric mountain bike is normally placed, it can be a central motor or a wheel motor and each of them offers its particularities:

Central motor: It is the one that we are going to find in the vast majority of electric MTBs on the market and it is the one that manufacturers are developing the most. Momentum it does it directly to the pedal and not on the wheel, which provides a more fluid pedaling and natural. In addition, they have less wiring as all the components are perfectly integrated into the bike.

Wheel motor: the motor is installed in the wheel hub, be it the front or rear wheel. on grounds with sand and pronounced offers more traction, but the sensations in the pedaling are less nice.
