27.5″ Hardtail Electric Mountain Bike E-ST 100

It's designed for a mix of riding rather than top-end pace. For MTB speed, tire choice and rolling resistance matter a lot, and that's baked into the score. It ends up here thanks to a heavier build, wheel momentum that helps it carry speed between pedal strokes, typical trail-width tires, and mid-size wheels that balance agility and momentum.

Uphill performance score: 6.3/10. Within e-mountain bikes, it ranks around the middle. On climbs, the lowest gear feels very easy. Your easiest gear lands around 17.3 gear inches. In its peer group, it lands around the easier ~81% for low-gear climbing. “Gear inches” sounds nerdy, but it’s just a quick way to describe how easy your lowest gear is to turn uphill. Lower usually means easier. At about 21.5 kg, it’s a heavy build; the low gear matters even more when the slope kicks up. E-assist can take the sting out of steep ramps, especially at lower speeds. You’ll be able to keep a steady spin even when it gets steep. Specs can vary by size and build, and some manufacturer details aren’t always published, so treat this as a strong guide rather than a guarantee.

Overall suspension support: 5/10 (“Confident trail control”). This usually points to stronger bump control and steadier tracking when the surface gets choppy. Hardtail layout — suspension up front for control, rigid rear for a direct response. This level usually brings more reliable wheel tracking on rough patches and repeated hits.

Balanced fit - a neutral road posture that suits most riders. Mostly geometry-based, with a small category-based estimate.

Why this fit flexibility rating: Because the bar and stem are separate, changing reach or bar shape is usually straightforward, The front-end is easier to work on, supporting fit tweaks over time; Standard sizing usually means more aftermarket options for dialing in fit. That is why it is in the Adjustable bucket. Put simply, it describes how practical it is to reconfigure your position later.

Ride comfort is 6.2/10 — on a real ride it feels comfortable. That’s why it’s labeled Race-Stiff. The posture is neutral (posture 6/10), which gives a steady, predictable feel without pushing you too far forward.

This is the kind of deal people usually notice quickly. The value score is 1–10. Higher means better value for money; lower means the price is high for what you get. Uses MSRP as a baseline; real-world prices can be lower (discounts can change the value). Based on the parts list, it’s roughly 54% cheaper than what similar builds typically cost. Against similar bikes of the same type and age, it’s usually on the cheaper side, beating about 98% of listings. To anchor it: price €1.338 versus an estimated €2.920 for a similar build. Overall, it looks like a great-value pick in its category.

This bike is best for smoother trails where speed and efficiency matter. It has about 100 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which suits smoother trails. The Hardtail setup supports this riding style.
