EKANO 2 AL Goldrush

On an MTB, the speed score centers on rolling efficiency when you're pedaling, especially on easier terrain. Compared with trail-speed specialists, this build is shaped by a heavier build, wheel momentum that helps it carry speed between pedal strokes, typical trail-width tires, and a basic drivetrain spec that prioritizes practicality over outright performance.

Uphill performance score: 5.5/10. Within e-mountain bikes, this comes out around the middle. It’s set up for steady spinning on climbs. The easiest gear works out to about 18.2 gear inches. In its peer group, it lands around the easier ~59% 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. With roughly 23.5 kg under you, you’ll feel the weight on longer climbs even with a decent low gear. E-assist can take the sting out of steep ramps, especially at lower speeds. It’s set up so climbs feel controlled rather than a grind. 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 effectiveness is 9/10. That aligns with “Extreme rough-terrain ready”. This level targets big hits and very rough trails, prioritizing stability under repeated impacts. Both ends absorb impacts, improving how consistently the tires can follow rough terrain. It’s designed for steep, fast terrain where bumps are large and frequent. On roots and rocks, it should keep the bike calmer through repeated impacts. This is the kind of setup built to stay composed through fast, repeated big impacts.

Balanced fit - a versatile position for long rides and faster efforts. This is mainly because there's about 19 mm of drop to the bars (very small), with roughly 634 mm of forward stretch to the bar (very long). Plan for roughly 24 degrees of lean.

In E-bikeMountain / Enduro, So we classify it as Adjustable. Fit adjustability is shaped by a few key choices: The cockpit is modular (separate stem and handlebar), so it is easier to adjust or swap fit parts. Plus, Routing is relatively straightforward, which helps when you change cockpit parts. In practice, it is about how easy fit changes are with normal parts and service work.

Comfort comes out to 7.8/10, which usually translates to a very smooth ride. 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.

It’s hard to see the value at this asking price. 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). On the spec comparison, it sits roughly 64% above what similar builds typically cost. In its peer group, it’s one of the pricier listings, beating only about 7% of them. To anchor it: price €9.450 versus an estimated €5.747 for a similar build. Some manufacturer details aren’t fully published, so use this as a helpful direction rather than a final verdict. Bottom line: the price looks high for what’s included.

This bike is built for rougher, more technical trails where control matters. It has about 170 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which helps on rough, technical trails. Overall, the setup matches this surface range well.
