Electric Mountain Biking Guide 2022

Electric Mountain Biking Guide 2022
Magazine

From the makers of Mountain Biking UK magazine, the Electric Mountain Bike Guide has everything you need to know about buying and riding an electric mountain bike. Inside this special-edition magazine you'll find easy to follow explainers on e-MTBs, from the controls and frame design to the battery, motor and parts, as well as help understanding the different systems available and how to choose the right e-MTB for you. You'll also find tips on getting the most from an e-powered bike on the trails, riding smart and adjusting your technique from a non-powered bike to electric so you can tackle ground quickly and propel yourself uphill easily to enjoy the descents. Whether you're looking for a burly e-MTB for downhill use, something lighter for a more agile ride or a trail-orientated electric hardtail, there are plenty of bike reviews and ebike-specific gear and kit to get the right setup for you. Ebikes are for everyone, whether you're looking to get back on a bike after injury, get fitter or are time-pressed and need to fit your cycling around other commitments, and more and more riders are heading to the trails with a boost of e-power.
