How to choose an electric mountain bike
An electric MTB helps you pedal uphill and tackle off-road outings. To choose, start with the routes you ride and your riding position: suspension, geometry and motor should suit your use.
Our range includes brands such as Trek, Scott, MMR and Bergamont. To compare assistance features, you can also consult the e-bike guide.
Hardtail or full suspension?
- Electric hardtail MTB bikes have a suspension fork and a frame without rear suspension. They are an option to consider for smooth tracks and less rugged routes.
- Electric full-suspension MTB bikes also have rear suspension, which helps maintain grip and control on uneven ground. Both front and rear suspension need careful adjustment and maintenance.
Motor, battery and components
Consider how the motor delivers assistance, as well as its stated torque. Range depends on battery capacity, elevation gain, total weight, terrain and assistance level: capacity alone is not enough to predict how far you can ride.
Among the available models, the Scott Patron 920 is a full-suspension MTB with a Bosch Performance Line CX motor. Always check each model's product details to verify its specification and features.
- Drivetrain: assess the gear range for the climbs you tackle.
- Brakes and tyres: choose according to the terrain and descents you expect.
- Frame: compare aluminium and carbon alongside geometry, total weight and specification.
Size and price: what to compare
Size depends on height, inside leg measurement and the model's geometry. Do not rely solely on the letter shown on the frame. When comparing prices and offers, also consider suspension, motor, battery and components, and check availability in your size.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between an electric hardtail MTB and a full-suspension model?
A hardtail has only a suspension fork; a full-suspension bike also has rear suspension. A hardtail suits smooth tracks, while full suspension helps maintain grip and control on uneven terrain.
How do I choose an electric mountain bike size?
Start with your height and inside leg measurement, then consult the model's size chart. Geometry varies between bikes: assessing your riding position helps you choose.
How long does an electric MTB battery last on a ride?
Range varies with battery capacity, elevation gain, terrain, total weight and the assistance used. Compare these factors with your planned route, rather than relying solely on the stated capacity.
How do I compare electric MTB prices and offers?
Compare models suited to the same use and check the motor, battery, suspension, brakes and drivetrain. Also check that the right size for you is available.
