Women’s 27.5″ Electric Mountain Bike E-ST 500

This off-road speed score leans toward efficient rolling, not downhill stability or comfort. Compared with more speed-first builds, this build is shaped by 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. On smoother terrain, the tire setup is biased toward rolling speed on firm ground.

On steep roads, it comes in at 6.1/10. Within e-mountain bikes, it ranks around the middle. On climbs, the lowest gear feels very easy. Your easiest gear lands around 17.3 gear inches. On the ‘easier low gear’ scale, it sits around ~81% versus similar bikes. 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 22.8 kg — on steep, slow climbs that extra mass becomes more noticeable. 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 rating is 6/10 — “Confident trail control”. This usually points to stronger bump control and steadier tracking when the surface gets choppy. Hardtail layout — suspension up front for control, rigid rear for a direct response. This level helps keep traction when the surface is uneven and choppy. This level usually brings more reliable wheel tracking on rough patches and repeated hits.

Balanced fit - a middle ground between comfort and speed. Some measurements were missing, so part of this is estimated.

In E-bikeMountain, That is why it is in the Adjustable bucket. What affects adjustability on this bike: Standard cockpit parts make it simpler to fine-tune your position over time, The front-end is easier to work on, supporting fit tweaks over time, and A round post makes fit changes simpler than proprietary shapes.

Ride comfort is 6.3/10 — on a real ride it feels comfortable. That’s the reason it lands as Race-Stiff. The posture is neutral (posture 5/10), which gives a steady, predictable feel without pushing you too far forward.

From a value angle, this comes out as a standout deal. 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 42% 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: €1.996 listed versus about €3.468 for a comparable 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 120 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which suits smoother trails. The Hardtail setup supports this riding style.
