Ramblas & Summit E-MTB Ride at Lory State Park

We had some extra time with some review units and decided to beat the hell out of them on some gnarly trails! We rode here, although we went up and down the same half and didn't complete the loop: www.mtbproject.com/trail/2427...

We've been busy making content on other channels but plan to get back to Electron Rider soon. Stay tuned for some e-moto content in the near future 😎
This was only my second time mountain biking, so don't judge my riding too harshly 😂 but constructive feedback is always appreciated!

Just got a Summit - definitely agree regarding the gearing on the bike - stock you will need to use the throttle on longer steeper hills. Swapping the chainring and cassette would likely help with this, but as configured I can't do more than 5-6mph up a steep hill unless I use the throttle. That said, the Summit absolutely flies on flats with slight rolling hills and would leave the Ramblas in the dust. I tried a Ramblas at a dealer, and it is much better on the climb compared to the Summit and is certainly closer to a true eMTB. Which is better depends on the riding you like to do.

Great video! How does the suspension handle and the fact that it is a hard tail, or would getting a full sus for $500 more be more efficient?

Thank you! Considering how gnarly that trail was, full suspension would have been nice 😅 I bent the saddle on the Ramblas pretty badly, although I'd attribute that more to my lack of skill than any fault of the bike.
Personally though I'm fine with it being a hardtail, at least for now. Planning to do a lot more riding on it so we'll see how I feel a few months down the line...
