What makes an E-MTB hardtail?
An E-mountain bike hardtail is the ideal choice for anyone looking for a versatile, powerful and low-maintenance E-bike. Whether for sporty tours, the daily commute to work, after-work rides or exciting adventures off the road - with an E-MTB hardtail you are well equipped. Here you will find a brief overview of what makes an E-hardtail:
Frame
Materials:
- Aluminum: Lightweight, durable and cost-effective. Ideal for riders looking for a balance between weight and stability.
- Carbon: Even lighter than aluminum, offers excellent shock absorption and rigidity. However, it is more expensive and more susceptible to damage.
suspension fork
Suspension travel: Typically between 100 mm and 120 mm. Provides sufficient damping and comfort on uneven terrain.
Damping: Adjustable damping allows the fork to be adapted to different terrain and riding conditions.
Brands: Popular brands include RockShox , Fox , and SR Suntour, which are known for their quality and performance.
Motor
Power: Usually between 250W and 500W, depending on the legislation of the respective country.
Torque: Between 50 Nm and 85 Nm, which is especially important on steep climbs and challenging trails.
Positioning: Mid-engines (e.g. Bosch , Shimano , Brose) are common because they offer better weight distribution and efficiency.
battery
Capacity: Optionally 500Wh, 650Wh or 750Wh, depending on desired range and usage.
Integration: Batteries are often integrated into the frame, which allows for better weight distribution and a slimmer design.
Battery life: Depends on capacity and riding conditions. A 500Wh battery typically provides a range of 50-100 km.
brakes
Tires
Width: 2.4" to 2.8" are common for E-MTB hardtails, offer good grip and stability.
Profile: Aggressive profile for better grip on uneven and loose surfaces.
Tubeless: Many models are tubeless compatible, which increases puncture resistance and improves comfort through lower air pressure.
additional components
Saddle and seat post: Comfortable saddles and adjustable seat posts for an optimal sitting position and additional comfort.
Handlebars and stem: Wide handlebars and adjustable stems for better control and ergonomic adjustment.
Lighting: Integrated lighting systems for better visibility and safety on the road.
display and controls
Display: Shows important information such as speed, battery level, selected support mode and range.
Controls: Ergonomically placed controls on the handlebars allow easy control of the electric drive while driving.
The comparison
E-hardtail or E-fully?
There are various aspects to consider when deciding between an e-hardtail and an e-fully. Both types have their own advantages and are suitable for different areas of use. An e-hardtail is an e-mountain bike with a suspension fork at the front but no rear suspension, while an e-fully (full suspension) has suspension at both the front and rear. These suspension systems significantly influence the ride feel, handling and possible uses of the bikes.
Suspension travel isn't everything! Here are a few advantages of the hardtail over the fully:
Lighter and easier to handle
The lack of rear suspension makes the E-Hardtail lighter and less complex, making it easier to handle and maintain.
More efficient power transmission
Since no energy is lost in the rear suspension, power transmission is more direct, which is particularly advantageous on paved paths and when climbing.
Cheaper to buy
E-hardtails are generally cheaper than e-fullys, making them an attractive option for price-conscious buyers.
Who are E-MTB hardtails particularly suitable for?
E-MTB hardtails are particularly suitable for tours through forests and fields, where the support of the electric drive and the robust construction of the hardtail help you to master uneven terrain effortlessly. Thanks to the suspension travel, E-MTB hardtails are also not afraid of trails or rough cobblestones in the city!

Do you love exploring new trails and unknown routes? With an E-MTB hardtail, you are perfectly equipped to go on a journey of discovery away from the paved paths.
