What is the Fastest Electric Mountain Bike?
Whether you’re after an electric mountain bike for short, medium or long rides, there’s a good choice out there. The best ones come with a range of battery capacities, from 600 to 750Wh, giving you enough juice to cover two to three hours of riding. Pedaling input also affects the range, so consider how you’ll use your bike.
Those looking for a high-quality, performance-oriented electric mountain bike should consider the Specialized Turbo Levo Comp Alloy. This year’s model features a new, turbo full-power 2.2 motor and flip chips in the chainstays. This bike has several other notable changes, too.
The Levo’s battery packs inside the downtube, making it one of the quietest electric mountain bikes on the market. Its 720Wh battery is also slimmer, allowing it to fit neatly into the frame. It’s also equipped with a Shimano EP8 motor, which delivers smooth, linear assistance. It’s paired with a custom-shaped battery.
The bike also comes with a quality Shimano XT groupset and high-quality tires. It has a 170mm fork, a 160mm rear shock, 29-inch wheels and an aluminum alloy frame. It also features an adjustable frame technology.
For a big budget, the Rocky Mountain Altitude is a powerful, full-suspension e-mountain bike. It’s perfect for enduro-style terrain. It’s also one of the lightest electric mountain bikes on the market. It’s also made from a carbon fiber frame and 29-inch wheels.
The bike’s 720Wh battery is also available in 540Wh and 900Wh, giving it a range of up to 450 miles.
