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, typical trail-width tires, and a capable drivetrain that supports steady speed. On smoother terrain, the tire setup is biased toward rolling speed on firm ground. As a result, it's tuned for reliability and control rather than maximum speed.

Uphill performance score: 6.3/10. Within e-mountain bikes, this comes out around the middle. It’s set up for smooth spinning on steeper climbs. In numbers, the low gear is roughly 16.9 gear inches. Compared with similar bikes, this low gear is easier than about ~91% of them. Gear inches is basically “how easy is the easiest gear”. Lower numbers help you keep your legs spinning on steep bits. Weight is around 22.5 kg — on steep, slow climbs that extra mass becomes more noticeable. Being an e-bike helps on climbs because the assist adds steady push when you need it. Good for keeping cadence steady on climbs without overcooking it. Different builds can shift the feel a bit, and some manufacturer specs aren’t always publicly listed, so consider this a helpful direction.

Suspension effectiveness is 6/10. That aligns with “Confident trail control”. It’s the kind of setup that stays more composed through repeated small-to-medium hits. 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.

Comfort comes out to 6.6/10, which usually translates to a nicely smooth ride. So it’s tagged Race-Stiff overall. The posture is neutral (posture 5/10), which gives a steady, predictable feel without pushing you too far forward.

Compared to similar bikes, this is priced very competitively. 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 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 100% of listings. Quick reference: €1.996 listed versus about €3.469 for a comparable build. Overall, it looks like a great-value pick in its category.

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. Even though it’s tagged Trail, the setup fits Flow Trails better.
