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.

How it climbs: 6.2/10. Within e-mountain bikes, it sits around the middle. The easiest gear is very spin-friendly on hills. Your easiest gear lands around 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. This kind of low gear helps you stay smooth on long or steep climbs. 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 rating is 5/10 — “Confident trail control”. It’s the kind of setup that stays more composed through repeated small-to-medium hits. It’s a common compromise: calmer front wheel, efficient rear end. It should keep the bike more controlled on mixed surfaces, especially through repeated small-to-medium impacts.

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.

Comfort comes out to 6.2/10, which usually translates to a easygoing over rough patches ride. 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.

From a value angle, this comes out as a standout deal. 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 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. Bottom line: you’re getting a lot of bike for the money compared with typical options.

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.
