1. Define your type of use
Before making any purchase, it is essential to identify the main use of your electric MTB :
Mountain touring: opt for an all-suspended model with a powerful motor and long range. Example: Moustache Game 160 or Santa Cruz Bullit MX CC X01.
Off-road riding: A semi-rigid MTB will be lighter and more affordable. Example: Cube Reaction Hybrid Pro 800 or Mondraker Prime 2025.
Urban and leisure use: Choose a versatile model with good range, comfortable ride and easy handling. Example: Moustache Samedi 27 Xroad 1 or Rockrider E-ST 500 V2.

Shimano EP801 (85 Nm): Compact and lightweight, perfect for steep climbs.
Yamaha PW-X3 (70 Nm): A good alternative offering excellent value for money.

💡 Tip: The higher the torque (Nm), the more the motor will help you climb steep inclines.
3. Choosing the right autonomy and battery
Autonomy depends on battery capacity, bike weight, assistance level and type of terrain. If you want to focus on long rides, you'll often have to put your hand in the wallet and opt for batteries over 600 Wh, which offer excellent autonomy.
Long autonomy (600-800 Wh) : Ideal for long-distance rides. Example: Cube Stereo Hybrid 140 HPC SLX 750 (750 Wh) or Mondraker Prime RX (750 Wh).

Short range (300-400 Wh): Sufficient for urban use and short trips. Example: Rockrider E-ST 500 V2 (420 Wh).
💡 Tip: Choose a removable battery for easy recharging.
4. Transmission and brakes: performance and safety
Transmission and brakes directly influence your driving experience and safety.
Transmission :
- SRAM X01 Eagle AXS or Shimano XT: Precision and reliability for technical terrain.
- Shimano Deore or SRAM SX Eagle: Good compromise for leisure riding.
Brakes :
- Hydraulic disc brakes (e.g. SRAM Code RSC or Shimano XT): Optimum braking power, even in the rain.
- Discs of 180 mm or more: Recommended for descents and steep terrain.
5. Choosing wheel size and suspension
Wheels :
- 29-inch: Better stability and obstacle clearance, ideal for fast trails.
- 27.5 inches: More agile and agile, perfect for technical descents.
- Mullet" configuration (29" front, 27.5" rear): Stability and agility combined. Example: Santa Cruz Bullit MX CC X01.
Suspension :
- All-suspended: For difficult terrain and downhill runs.
- Hardtail : Lighter and more economical, ideal for trails.
6. Budget: an essential criterion
- Entry-level (€1,200 - €2,500): For occasional use and urban commuting. Example: Rockrider E-ST 500 V2 or NCM Moscow M3.
- Mid-range (€2,500 - €5,000): Ideal for regular outings on varied terrain. Example: Cube Reaction Hybrid Pro 800 or Mondraker Prime 2025.

💡 Tip: budget for equipment (helmet, gloves, protective gear, backpack with water bag and why not a secondary battery).
8. Where to buy your electric MTB ?
- Specialty stores: Trying out a bike before you buy ensures that it's the right choice for you.
- E-commerce sites: Take advantage of competitive prices and promotions, but check the return policy.
- Second-hand market: An interesting option for a top-of-the-range model at lower cost. Check the condition of the battery and engine before you buy.
