27.5″ Hardtail Electric Mountain Bike E-ST100

It's neither sluggish nor razor-fast - more of a versatile middle ground. This off-road speed rating describes how quickly the bike rolls under pedal power on smoother ground. Key drivers include a heavier build, typical trail-width tires, and a capable drivetrain that supports steady speed. On hardpack, the tire setup is biased toward rolling speed on firm ground.

Climb score: 6.3/10. Within e-mountain bikes, it sits around the middle. When it gets steep, the gearing feels very easy. That lowest gear comes out around 16.9 gear inches. Compared with similar bikes, this low gear is easier than about ~91% of them. We use “gear inches” as a shortcut for climbing gearing. Lower numbers mean you can spin more easily when it gets steep. Weight is around 22.5 kg — on steep, slow climbs that extra mass becomes more noticeable. E-assist can take the sting out of steep ramps, especially at lower speeds. Good for keeping cadence steady on climbs without overcooking it. Different builds can shift the feel a bit, and some manufacturer specs aren’t always publicly listed, so consider this a helpful direction.

On the suspension scale, it comes in at 5/10 — “Confident trail control”. That typically means noticeably better bump absorption and more consistent tracking on rougher sections. It’s a hardtail setup: the fork manages impacts up front, while the rear stays rigid and direct. Expect steadier tracking on rougher sections without feeling like a long-travel downhill setup.

Balanced fit - a middle ground between comfort and speed. This is an estimate; exact fit varies by spacers and rider setup.

Here is the simple reasoning behind the fit flexibility rating: Because the bar and stem are separate, changing reach or bar shape is usually straightforward, Less routing complexity makes swaps and adjustments more practical. At the same time, Standard seatpost sizing improves compatibility for different setbacks and lengths. Net result: Adjustable. In practice, it is about how easy fit changes are with normal parts and service work.

Comfort comes out to 6.4/10, which usually translates to a nicely smooth ride. That’s the reason it lands as Firm. The posture is neutral (posture 6/10), which keeps it balanced — not overly aggressive, not overly relaxed.

This looks like a great buy for the spec on paper. Value is scored 1–10: higher is better value, lower means you’re paying more than similar bikes. Uses MSRP as a baseline; real-world prices can be lower (discounts can change the value). Based on the parts list, it’s roughly 58% 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 99% of listings. To anchor it: price €1.217 versus an estimated €2.917 for a similar build. Put simply: this is strong value for what’s included.

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. Suspension type (Hardtail) fits this kind of terrain.
