EMTB with Gates Carbon Belt and Enviolo / 45km

[Vasst]

Greetings everyone.
I want to purchase a full suspension s-pedelec (45km/h) ebike with Gates belt and internal hub (such as Enviolo).
Purpose of use is city commuting and mild off-road riding. Price not over Eur 5.500.

I was looking for something like the BULLS E-STREAM EVO 45 AM, but it doesn't come with Gates and Enviolo, and it might be discontinued anyway.
As far as I know, there are some models only from Riese-Muller and HNF-Nikolai offering the above, but they are very expensive.

Any ideas?

Thanks and Happy New Year to everyone!

As far as I know, there are some models only from Riese-Muller and HNF-Nikolai offering the above, but they are very expensive.

All features you are asking for are very expensive:

• Decent front and rear suspension
• Gates carbon belt
• Good internal geared hub
• The 45 km/h specification. As you might know, the Euro L1e-B vehicle must be equipped with a lot of safety gear as required by law. Such vehicle has to come with individual EU Certificate of Conformity, and it increases the cost, too. L1e-B class e-bikes belong to the most expensive Euro e-bike segment.

Now, you are talking about e-MTB. You might be aware (or not) no respected e-MTB is equipped with either carbon belt or IGH. Regarding the IGH, the efficiency and the gearing is not adequate for the trail. Moreover, except the Bulls e-bike you mentioned, the MTB world doesn't accept S-Pedelecs.

I think you need a full-suspension S-Pedelec. By applying proper tyres, you can ride it in mild off-road, too. Just don't call it e-MTB.

I don't know what country you are from. Bear in mind, there are worldwide issues with e-bike availability. For instance, Moustache Bikes offer an FS e-bike close to your expectations (not cheap!) but they do not sell in every EU country. It is vital you buy your e-bike via Local Bicycle Store that would handle your warranty , support and service.

Budget. Please be aware that EUR5500 is only as much a 2021 Specialized Turbo Vado 6.0 (45 km/h e-bike) costs. Only front suspension, high quality traditional drivetrain, top-end brakes, top-end safety equipment. The bike can be used in mild off-road after replacing the tyres for more suitable ones. Anything more costs big big big €€€.
