27.5″ Semi-Rigid Electric Mountain Bike E-ST 100

In MTB terms, the score is mostly about momentum on flats and climbs, rather than jump or drop capability. In contrast to speed-optimized builds, this build is shaped by a heavier build, typical trail-width tires, and a capable drivetrain that supports steady speed. When you're pedaling, the tire setup is biased toward rolling speed on firm ground.

Climbing rating: 6.5/10. Within e-mountain bikes, this comes out above average. On climbs, the lowest gear feels very easy. The easiest gear works out to about 16.9 gear inches. Compared with similar bikes, this low gear is easier than about ~91% of them. Think of “gear inches” like a difficulty score for your easiest gear: lower = more spin-friendly on climbs. Weight is around 21.5 kg — on steep, slow climbs that extra mass becomes more noticeable. The motor support helps you keep rolling when the slope kicks up. Good for keeping cadence steady on climbs without overcooking it. Build kits can differ by size and spec level, and not every detail is published by every brand, so use this as a practical guideline.

Suspension effectiveness is 5/10. That aligns with “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. It should feel noticeably calmer through repeated bumps and rough patches. When exact travel numbers aren’t available, we base this on the suspension layout and what’s typical for similar builds. Expect steadier tracking on rougher sections without feeling like a long-travel downhill setup.

Balanced fit - a neutral road posture that suits most riders. This is an estimate; exact fit varies by spacers and rider setup.

This rating is mainly driven by the parts that affect adjustability: The cockpit is modular (separate stem and handlebar), so it is easier to adjust or swap fit parts, The front-end is easier to work on, supporting fit tweaks over time. Another point: A standard round seatpost size gives you many options for fit and replacements. Overall, it falls into Adjustable. This mainly reflects how easy it is to adjust or swap key fit parts over time.

Ride comfort is 6.4/10 — on a real ride it feels easygoing over rough patches. So it’s tagged Firm overall. The posture is neutral (posture 6/10), which gives a steady, predictable feel without pushing you too far forward.

For what you get, the price looks very hard to beat. 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. 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.
