27.5 Inch Electric Mountain Bike E-ST 100

This off-road speed score leans toward efficient rolling, not downhill stability or comfort. In day-to-day use, it aims for an all-round feel more than maximum speed. Several build choices play a role, including 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: 6.2/10. Within e-mountain bikes, it ranks around the middle. It’s set up for smooth spinning on steeper climbs. In numbers, the low gear is roughly 17.3 gear inches. On the ‘easier low gear’ scale, it sits around ~81% versus similar bikes. “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 22.2 kg, it’s a heavy build; the low gear matters even more when the slope kicks up. The motor support helps you keep rolling when the slope kicks up. 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.

Suspension performance: 5/10. It’s grouped into “Confident trail control”. It’s the kind of setup that stays more composed through repeated small-to-medium hits. You get suspension movement at the front, while the rear stays firm and direct. Rough trails should feel more controlled, especially when hits stack up. 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.

This rating is mainly driven by the parts that affect adjustability: A modular front-end gives more freedom to change stem length or bar width, Cable routing is on the simpler side, which helps adjustability. At the same time, A round post makes fit changes simpler than proprietary shapes. That is why it is in the Adjustable bucket. Put simply, it describes how practical it is to reconfigure your position later.

This scores 6.2/10 for comfort, so it feels nicely smooth out on the road. That’s the reason it lands as Race-Stiff. The posture is neutral (posture 6/10), which keeps it balanced — not overly aggressive, not overly relaxed.

This looks like strong value without any tricky caveats. 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. Quick reference: €1.217 listed versus about €2.918 for a comparable build. Some manufacturer details aren’t fully published, so use this as a helpful direction rather than a final verdict. Overall, it looks like a great-value pick in its category.

This setup is aimed at fast trail riding on less extreme terrain. It has about 100 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which suits smoother trails. The Hardtail setup supports this riding style.
