New technology is almost always polarizing when it first comes on the scene. EBikes were no different when they were invented. Seasoned cyclists were perhaps the hardest on eBikes until they caught on to just how useful a tool they can be. These opinions have shifted rapidly over the past few years. This is particularly true of mountain eBikes. Most hardcore downhill mountain bikers, a tough group to win over, have come to agree that the best mountain bike is the one that assists you to the top so you can make yet another all-out descent.
Let’s dive a little deeper into the qualities of eBikes, what makes a great mt eBike, and what makes the best mountain ebike. Let’s also have a look at why a mt eBike may just be the most versatile piece of equipment you’ll ever own.
E-bikes are undeniably practical as a mode of transport, this includes the well-rounded mountain ebike. They have several advantages over traditional bicycles and other means of transportation, such as cars, motorcycles, and public transit. They save money since they need no fuel, and cost very little to charge and maintain. EBikes give access to a wider variety of our population, in comparison to bicycles, with their pedal assist technology. They help you avoid dense traffic by allowing you to bypass cars. They give the rider much more freedom of movement and choice over public transportation.
Why consider an electric mountain bike, eMTB, over another type of electric bike? The qualities that make a good eBike depend on the type of activities and uses expected of them. A mt eBike, however, is a multi-purpose transportation option because it can do a little of everything. The best mountain eBike will do a little of everything and do each of them well.
A properly designed e-bike will help the rider get from point A to point B and do what the rider asks of it. A good mountain eBike can do all the things that an everyday eBike can do and then some. Most electric mountain bikes have a larger battery than their road compatriots. A mt eBike will allow you to commute to work and still have battery left over if you want to take a detour on the way home. The type of detour you can take is greatly expanded because of the eMTBs more powerful motor, robust suspension, and all-terrain tires.
Despite all the benefits of electric bikes there are a few disadvantages to note. Electric bikes bike can be cost prohibitive, though this is changing rapidly as newer less expensive models enter the market. They are heavier that conventional bicycles. Many eBikes don’t provide a big enough battery for long range capabilities, meaning the rider must stop their ride, or find a battery charger nearby.
For a mountain biker, the issue of a short-riding range can be a deal-breaker. It wouldn’t be fun to be in the middle of nowhere with a fully depleted battery. Picture yourself in such a situation: exhausted, and with a heavy e-bike that you must push or ride by pedaling only.
