Overcome
Power
Differences
One of the biggest advantages of e-
mountainbikes is therefore that they help
to overcome performance differences. No
one with a lack of fitness has to feel
excluded, thanks to the electric support, a
bike trip to the mountains is a pleasure for
everyone.

Healthier and more effective for fat
burning is aerobic training, i.e. a
permanent, even load. The e-Mountainbike
is the perfect helper for load control. Load
peaks are avoided, the pulse is at a
pleasant 120 to 140 heart beats per
minute. And if you want to get your pump
up to speed in between, you can simply
switch off the engine for a moment.

5. E-Enduros, which make their drivers independent of lifts, are currently very much
in vogue. So you can ride ingenious trails several times a day. Uphill driving is
often carried out with maximum E support. E-Enduro bikers like to store spare
batteries so that the end (in the) terrain is not quickly reached during these
battery energy-sapping rides.

And even downhill e-mountain
bikes can be a lot of fun. At least
this was the case with our test
bike, the Strike eRide 720 from
Scott. Because especially in rough
terrain you feel safe on a massive
eMTB. Especially since the centre
of gravity is much lower in the
crank due to the electric motor.

As an e-Mountainbiker in a group
of "normal" bikers you should fit into this
role: that you like to be misused as a load
donkey for spare hoses, tools and
emergency set. What is the advantage?
Well, on the other hand, it is also easier to
take the camera equipment into the
mountains with you that you would never
have carried up with you in the past.

8. If you like to try out new sports equipment, you can't avoid an electric mountain bike. It doesn't
have to be a purchase right away. eMTBs make it possible to experience things you're not
used to: speeding up the gravel road at 20 km/h. Just trample up the steepest slope in town.
End the 75-kilometer tour with the 2,500 meters of altitude without aching legs. In short: e-
mountainbiking is really fun.

If you want to buy an
electric mountain bike,
you have to dig deep into
your pocket. Even the
price for entry-level
models is over 2,000
euros - if you have a
certain demand for
quality. For this price you
get for example the

11. WHEN YOU SIT ON AN ELECTRIC
MOUNTAIN BIKE, ITS WEIGHT DOESN'T
PLAY A BIG ROLE. BUT IT GETS
EXCITING WHEN YOU HAVE TO DISMOUNT.
ANYONE WHO FINDS IT ANNOYING TO
CARRY A MOUNTAIN BIKE (USUALLY
WEIGHS ABOUT 10 TO 14 KILOS) UP A
SHORT PASSAGE OR LOAD IT INTO A CAR
WILL CURSE AN ELECTRIC MOUNTAIN
BIKE. BECAUSE EMTBS WEIGH 25 KILOS,
EVEN IF YOU TAKE OUT THE BATTERY,
IT'S ONLY 2.5 TO 4 KILOS LESS.

2: eMTBs Are
Heavy
When you sit on an electric
mountain bike, its weight doesn't
play a big role. But it gets exciting
when you have to dismount.
Anyone who finds it annoying to
carry a mountain bike (usually
weighs about 10 to 14 kilos) up a
short passage or load it into a car
will curse an electric mountain
bike. Because eMTBs weigh 25
kilos, even if you take out the
battery, it's only 2.5 to 4 kilos less.
12. 3: eMTBs Are Less Agile in the
Trail
If the battery is installed in the down tube in such a way that it is much wider (as
with our test bike from Scott), the turning circle of the e-mountainbikes also
increases, the handlebar cannot be turned so far. With an eMTB, sharp hairpin
bends that allow you to manoeuvre a normal MTB without any problems, even as
an inexperienced rider, require maximum concentration - if you don't even have to
descend and lift for a short time. A displacement of the rear wheel from the wheel
is already with a (easier) normal MTB a technique for advanced and becomes even
more difficult with the eMTB.
13. No, as an e-mountainbiker you are not welcome everywhere. Many mountain bikers and hikers
react to motorization with blatant rejection. Your sensation: Those who cannot make it into the
mountains with their own strength have no business there.
4: Rejection by Other Mountaineers

14. Nothing is more annoying than a rechargeable battery that will fail
before the end of the tour. Most eMTBs are extremely difficult to handle
without electrical support. Not only because of the increased weight of
the bike, but also because a clear pedaling resistance can be felt with
many drives (for example, with the often installed Bosch Performance
CX electric motor). However, the latest generation of drives does not
require pedal resistance.

If you want to use the E-Power on the mountain, you first
have to charge it into the battery - that's clear. Actually
not a big deal, but also a task you have to take care of:
Remove battery, plug in power adapter, connect to
battery, wait a few hours, unplug, install battery.
