The reviews would be much more helpful if you did an actual range test for each bike in the setting for it's intended use.Also, expand top rated to include bikes in 1k increments.

They should know better. Anyone who pays extra money for a full suspension bike is getting it for the ups and downs, so those figures are completely bogus. If you using the bike as intended (singletrack) in the mountains, I doubt you would even get 15 miles on a full charge.

I know there are alot of variables, but keep the actual range info coming. It may help a prospective buyer to make a better decision rather than taking the manufacturers word as gospel.

Unless you really need the full suspension, the Dirt-E models have 500w for alot cheaper price, not to mention the ToughRoad models.

If you return it, you might want to consider an e road bike rather than a full suspension e-mtb...your bike is overkill for that road.

yea, right off the bat there is a big climb from Linville to Grandfather Mountain on 221. A longer but more gradual route would be going up Roseboro road, but still alot of climbing either way.

It may also help to lockout your suspension.

Try staying out of the sport setting...I know that road, the uphills will suck your battery down in a hurry in the sport setting. Air up to max psi and ride in a lower gear on the hills.

What level of assist are you riding in ? Huge difference in battery consumption from low to high. That 2000 feet altitude gain in 9 miles is the culprit.

That looks to be the minimum price for a 2018 full suspension with mid-drive and good components. I wonder how many folks are willing to spend that kind of money without having access to most federal trails ?

So, would you say the yamaha motor is going to give you the best range among the mid-drives ? If you are touring, are you still going to get the same mileage with another 20 pounds on the bike ?

Wow ! That's impressive mileage. What's the terrain like ? I'm assuming that you are pretty fit...?

So here's the thing, if you adhere to the 20/80 rule on your battery use, then what ? My actual range drops under 20, but, Easy Motion's estimated minimum range is 45 miles.

I'm interested in seeing what kind of range you are getting with your bike. Please list your bike model, motor,battery size,along with your average speed,terrain,riding surface,level of assistance use,rider weight and range. 2017 easy motion atom lynx 6-brose- 600wh/36 volt... 7.5 MPH on...

Great review...one of the best I've seen !

Yes, I agree that the closeouts don't really make it a level playing field...a definite edge for haibikes, if you want a mid-drive. How are the shocks performing on your bike ?

I have a hard time trying to figure out at what point the cheaper bikes are a false economy... when you look at the shock,drivetrain and brakes. Is it fair to say that the drivetrain quality is less important in a hub-driven bike than it is in a mid-drive ?

I'm noticing that alot of the low-end e-mtbs come with Suntour shocks and wonder how they hold up on trails ?

Well, if i have to dumb it down, then what's the best 2018 e-mtb under 2k ? Magnum Peak or Surface 604 Shred or ???

Yep. I agree completely that buying the same bike is the way to go. That's why I broke it down into categories to compare apple to apples. I would prefer full-suspension mid-drive, but cost is a bigger factor when buying multiple bikes.
