E MTB advice please

[IanB]

Looking to get an E mountain bike soon, I'll have about £2,500 to spend & for the for the sort of riding I'll do I'm happy with a hardtail.

This looks like good spec & value compared to the big yank manufacturers, thoughts anyone?

I find that to be a bit of an odd spec tbh, really high drive train, eagle 12 speed (check out the price of a replacement cassette!!) Coupled to what is (probably) a garbage suntour fork

here's another option, Focus Jam reduced to - £2200

I'd be looking at this Giant. I bought my cannondale from rutland, it was a cancelled order and significantly reduced as is this one....

The cube with the Bosch motor and bigger battery is spot on for that price, I had the earlier version and on fast flowing trails it still holds some local KOM’s. Personally I wouldn’t have anything other than Bosch

I would have said ping EddieJ a message as has been on E bikes longer than anyone i know but seems he hasnt made it across here yet from VD and TRC, i'll see if i can recruit him through FB

My Haibike Hardnine 8.0 was £2.5K from ebikes direct in May and has a higher spec than that, as has been said, it's a good bike with a crap fork.

Btw I love my ebike, it's fantastic, and hardtail has been fine for me.
