Electric Dual Suspension Mountain Bikes

Electric dual suspension bikes, often referred to as e-MTBs (electric mountain bikes), combine the benefits of electric assistance with the advanced suspension systems typically found in mountain bikes. Here's a breakdown of what makes these bikes unique and their key features:

  • Front Suspension (Fork): This is located on the front wheel and helps absorb impacts from rough terrain. It improves control and comfort by minimizing the jarring effects of obstacles like rocks, roots, and drops.
  • Rear Suspension (Shock): This suspension is located near the rear wheel and helps absorb impacts that the front suspension can't fully mitigate. It provides better traction and control, especially on uneven or technical trails.
  • Motor: E-MTBs are equipped with an electric motor, usually located in the bottom bracket (mid-drive) or in the rear hub. The motor provides assistance when pedalling, making it easier to climb steep hills or cover longer distances without putting too much pressure on the rider.
