I want to get back into mountain biking. And I have owned a RAD ROVER E-bike for 3 years now. I actually love it. But its not a "mountain bike".
Obviously The Rad rover has a throttle, and also pedal assist 1-5. And the Top name mountain bikes (Specialized,Trek, Cannondale, Haibike etc)
Are pedal assist only. And Specialized Levo doesnt even have a Display. just 3 pedal assist settings, and Bluetooth conn.
My question is basically... How do these mountain bikes FEEL? Power wise? Lets say on the highest setting compared to the Rad rover on pedal assist 5?
Is it comparable? meaning the power given when you start pedaling.
My thoughts if I had to guess would be they would be much weaker. But I don't know.
Unfortunately , none of the bike shops near me have any available to test ride. But I can order one and they will set it up.
I would be up for the ridiculous price they are asking for these bikes, if the power was somewhat comparable.
Sorry If this has been asked before. Ive searched all over and watched a thousand bike reviews and haven't seen much on a comparison.
