Posted by Sunder Singh on November 29th, 2018

In past few years the electric mountain bikes have really become popular.  With the rough and tough image the addition of battery and motor is less of an issue. And the early days of e-bikes when everything looked a bit different the styling of everything looked a bit bolted together. The styling of the existing e-MTBs is really on point and the e-bits are well camouflaged by the frame and clever use of the integrated graphics. A sporty looking bike may be the best choice for you.  Here are a few things which you need to pay attention to:

Style of the Bike

The choices begin with a question of suspension. The front suspension bikes have a suspension at the front and they have a rigid frame which is conventional and easy to ride. They are cheap and usually light than comparable specification of full-suspension models. Full suspension Electric Mountain Bike UK has a rear end which makes use of the shock absorber to isolate the wheel. The full suspension bikes are heavy and they are more complex to set up as well.

If you think that your mountain bike is lighter with loops of graded trail centers then the hardtail is a good choice. It will give you the traditional mountain bike experience. If you plan to hit the single track trails and want to find the limits of traction as you search for more mountain bike action then full suspension is the way to go.  There are obvious disadvantages of having huge tyres and a wider wheel standard to accommodate them. These bikes are capable of rolling over to sand, rocks and robots as well. Undoubtedly they are heavy but that is not much of an issue if you want to ride them over sand, mud rocks roots etc. 

Wheel Size

There was a time when every mountain bike you would buy may have 26 inches wheels. But you may not be able to find them now except on the fat bikes. You can now standard find the standard size as 27.5inches and 29 inches with former being the favorite. Then there are plus sizes which have the same rim sizes but they come with bigger tyres.  Which standard you go for depends on what you will be riding.

In the End

When you are buying an Electric Mountain Bike UK, you need to pay attention to the frame materials, motor, batteries, dashboard and the suspension as well.
