Not everyone needs carbon and a $10,000 price tag. The Stance E+ 1 gives you 100 Nm and an 800 Wh removable battery for a lot less than the bikes above it on this list.

It's heavy, and the suspension is simple, so it won't love being thrown down steep, technical trail. But for flowy singletrack, fire roads, and long days exploring, it's genuinely great.

If you're new to e-MTBs or buying for a partner who's just getting into riding, this is the one I'd point you to first.

What I like
  • Excellent price
  • Big removable battery
  • Strong motor
What I don't
  • Heavy
  • Basic suspension

Long-term test pending. Giant, if you'd like this one ridden and reviewed in full, let's talk.
