Everything on the Redemption-E 50 works well-the Shimano Deore brakes are powerful and the shifting is crisp-but the Redemption E-50 doesn’t work well everywhere. The Shimano motor's “trail” mode has all the power you’ll need, and quick surge of torque from stop means you have to be ready for the bike to take off before you get on the pedals. Rather than moving the bike around with your body, you learn to mash the pedals and let the motor bludgeon the trail, trusting the e-mtb-tuned suspension to handle the hits. At 53.5 pounds, it is the second heaviest in this group, but bike rockets up non-technical climbs, which makes it awesome for shuttle runs, but it can’t disguise its heft when navigating tricky switchbacks and rock gardens. The Felt Redemption-E 50 is a 140/150mm travel all-mountain bike. (XL) | Motor: Shimano E8000 | Battery: 500 Wh | Travel: 150mm | Fork Travel: 140mm We rode these on trails where e-bikes are permitted, but because access varies from state to state (and trail system to trail system) always check with land managers before riding an e-bike off road.
#HARO BICYCLE REVIEWS FULL#
And to evaluate their range, we charged them all and ran them on full power until their batteries flickered and died. We tested them against standard bikes on the same trails in the same conditions. To understand the differences between them, we rode them back to back on similar trails. We self-shuttled DH runs and hit the bike path. Our team of experienced testers rode them for weeks on our local trails-everything from flow trails, to technical singletrack, to our enduro courses. To select each model, we researched the market, surveyed user reviews, interviewed product managers and engineers, and used our own experience riding these and similar bikes. How We TestedĮvery bike on this list was rigorously tested. The reach and head tube angle tend to remain similar to standard bikes, but the chainstay length, head tube length, and stack height are generally increased. This is common across the range of e-mtbs we tested. Trevor Porter, Kona's e-bike manager, said that motors can demand longer chainstays and adding batteries to downtubes can require larger headtubes, increasing stack height.
