Amflow TL Carbon takes Avinox power beyond eMTBs with full-suspension eSUV
Amflow has revealed the Amflow TL Carbon, a new full-suspension eSUV that takes the Avinox system beyond the brand’s original high-performance electric mountain bike territory. The new bike is described by Amflow as its first all-terrain touring e-bike, rather than a pure eMTB, and that distinction matters. While the Amflow PL Carbon Pro put the…
Best long-range eMTB 2026: 10 bikes for big UK rides
The best long-range eMTB 2026 shortlist is not simply a list of the bikes with the biggest batteries. Battery capacity matters, especially if you ride in winter, climb repeatedly or spend long days linking trail centres, bridleways and natural descents. But real eMTB range depends on far more than watt-hours alone. Rider weight, tyre choice,…
Best eMTB brake pads 2026: 10 options for UK trails
The best eMTB brake pads start with the right fit, then the right compound for your riding. A heavier bike, repeated descents and wet UK grit can make pad choice noticeable, but no friction material can compensate for a mismatched shape, contaminated rotor or poorly maintained brake. Our overall choice is the Shimano N04C for…
Do you need an 800Wh eMTB battery?
An 800Wh eMTB battery sounds like the obvious choice if you are buying a modern electric mountain bike. More battery means more range, less anxiety and more time on the trails, which is exactly what most eMTB riders want. With full-power motors getting stronger and bikes such as the latest Specialized Turbo Levo moving to…
New Merida LITHOS is a Bosch-powered carbon e-enduro bike built for speed
Merida has launched the LITHOS, a new carbon-framed Bosch-powered e-enduro bike designed to sit at the top of the brand’s electric mountain bike range. The new Merida LITHOS is aimed at serious enduro riders and racers, with a long-travel full-suspension frame, Bosch Performance Line CX and CX-R motor options, removable battery compatibility and geometry built…
New Orbea Wild LT uses RS-tuned Avinox motor, but this is not just another power-war eMTB
Orbea has launched the new Wild LT, and on paper it looks like another sign that the DJI Avinox motor is becoming one of the most talked-about systems in full-power electric mountain bikes. Look closer, though, and Orbea appears to have taken a slightly different route from the raw headline-number chase now building around high-output…
Best eMTB motor for UK riding: Bosch, Shimano, Specialized, DJI, TQ, Fazua and Yamaha explained
Choosing the best eMTB motor is not as simple as picking the one with the biggest torque number. That might look good on a specification sheet, but UK riding is rarely that straightforward. A good electric mountain bike motor needs to climb steep fire roads, find grip on wet roots, manage muddy technical sections, feel…
Best full-suspension eMTB 2026: 10 bikes for UK trails
The best full-suspension eMTB is the one that suits your normal trails, your riding style and the way you charge and store the bike. Some of these machines put strong assistance and a large battery first. Others trade capacity or low-cadence punch for a lighter chassis. Rear suspension can improve control and comfort over rough…
Lightweight eMTB vs full-power eMTB: which should you buy?
The choice between a lightweight eMTB vs full-power eMTB is one of the biggest decisions in electric mountain biking. It affects how the bike climbs, descends, corners, jumps, carries speed, uses battery and feels after three hours on wet UK trails. It also affects the type of rider the bike suits, because a lightweight eMTB…
eMTB tyre pressure guide: how much PSI should you run on UK trails?
Getting eMTB tyre pressure right can transform how an electric mountain bike feels on the trail. Too much pressure and the bike can feel harsh, nervous and short on grip, especially across wet roots, loose rock and muddy off-camber sections. Too little pressure and the tyre can squirm in corners, dent the rim, burp sealant…
Best hardtail eMTBs 2026
Hardtail eMTBs do not get the same attention as full-suspension electric mountain bikes, but for many UK riders they are still the smarter buy. The Best hardtail eMTB 2026 has to offer give you proper motor-assisted climbing, useful battery range and genuine off-road ability, without the extra weight, cost and maintenance of rear suspension. That…
How to clean an eMTB properly without damaging the motor or battery
Learning how to clean an eMTB properly matters more than many riders realise. An electric mountain bike is built to get wet, muddy and dragged through filthy winter conditions, but that does not mean every part of it should be blasted with water after a ride. The frame, tyres, drivetrain and suspension can usually handle…
