- Steve takes a close look at the history of the E Bike, from the humble origins of prototype E Bikes in the 1800s to the development of a specific E mountain bike in the 21st century and the explosion of development which has since been driven by high sales in continental Europe.

E Mountain Biking is still a relatively young sport, with engineering, design and assembly gaining pace step by step every year. This means that a lot of the history of E-MTB specifically is fairly recent, with brands such as Haibike and Moustache leading the charge. Join Steve for a walk around the historic streets of Bath and some more ponderings on the origins of the E bike.

How long have you had your e-bike?
Electric Mountain Bike Network
2 years exactly yesterday
Now on my 2nd a 2019 levo
2 and a half months, I love it:)
Not even a second. I don't have one..
why no mention of flyer??
I got a new 2016 All Mtn Pro in April. I've put a thousand miles on it even with time out for neck surgery. I love it!
No mention of Yamaha? They had a pedelec mid drive motor in the early nineties. How about Bafang? They brought e bikes to the masses in the early 2000's. Bionx? These are some companies that have been a pretty big part of the growth of e bikes.
This channel is all about specialized, Bosch.. 🙄
Good vid. Having daily pedalled under my own steam these past 40yrs, 2018 I get myself an ebike. Now at 60yrs of age, am able to extend the ride. 40km a day, I commute and luv it. Weekends you will find me on the MBT Gods Gift is an ebike
First ride on my Turbo Levo yesterday. I am blown away. Thanks for this video. I think I waited until the right time to get an EMTB.. At 55 years old I can ride again and not feel like my heart is going to exode going up an uphill long fireroad. lol
I think I like these philosophical videos most of all!
Very interesting - thanks for sharing! Have a good time getting into 2019 👍🚲
I rode my first bike today. 80kms later I’m in love. Can’t wait for it to arrive.
I feel like Yamaha should have been mentioned since I’m fairly sure they’ve been making ebikes as we know them now longer than any of the other big drivetrain makers.
This was a fantastic video. One of the best you've done !!
Brilliant 👍🏻
Jones is the brilliant in these 'history of cycling' type videos!
Very Interesting and filmed on my patch, at least it was until October when I moved to Crickhowell and bought my first eMTB the following week!
Super interesting video, exciting times ahead for ebikes. I believe that every single bike will have *some* kind of electronic in it in the future (GPS / fitness monitoring / maybe a motor / etc) so will be so interesting to see the next few years of development.
Bike companies are betting big on its future. 👍👍
Think he has an issue with Yamaha and Giant.
Where are Yamaha, Brose, Bafang, I think you are neglecting some manufacturers...
I've recently purchased a 2019 Trek Powerfly LT7 after being a naysayer for many years and honestly speaking this is the only bike I will ever need now. In the future most bikes will have some type of electric assist, that's where the next evolution of the bicycle will be! Best thing I have ever purchased.
Hi I'm from GMBN I have never tried E-Bikes probably will in the future 👍
Great video!!
The first production mountain bike was not the Stumpjumper. It was the Univega Alpina Uno. Specialized worked hard to make sure the Stumpjumper was known as the first for obvious marketing reasons.
Hey Emtb Steve! You should grow a moustache exactly like the riders of that early tandem ebike had because it would fit in with your rubber gum boots! Ride ride ride!
Haven't got one but want one!
I got a Specialized Levo HT 29er in July of this year...had problems with it and was offered a swap of bikes so I went for a Cube Reaction SL 29er in November. I strongly believe it's not a question of will my friends get an ebike...its more of a question of when..
Thanks Steve a potted history of ebikes which one is your 1st choice we would like to know
Who's here after the gmbn special
Me!
Me too
You keep talking about the FlyOn, but I'm not sure what's so important about it, given the Orient have had coaxial mid-drive motors for years... Sure, you guys are sponsored by Haibike, but you need to give the FlyOn a rest...
I'm waiting for you guys to do a video on affordable Bafang mid-drives for less serious riders.
We're working on it Alex, stay tuned
@@embn If I was in the same country, I'd have dropped an entry-level trail/all-mountain bike from my shop into you guys months ago. There's a lot of old geezers or amateur riders out there who just won't ever use the full potential of a bike that cost them 4000 quid.
'not limited by age, ability...' but limited by cash, emtb is a rich man's sport in todays world
Even non-E-bikes are pretty expensive for many people and E-bikes are sooo expensive.
Don’t know about that I see guys with $5000 dollar plus bikes quite a lot these days and then the ongoing costs I suppose it can be money pit for some I don’t have a E Bike but would luv to
It cost Me £1500 to build mine. 130mile range...... I don't think that is over the top expensive! Bespoke is the word
Check it out on the link below.

2700 for full sus ebike... Pretty good value imo.
You are witnessing the birth. It's always expensive.
It would be so cool to see a full on tandem full sus mtb
Ebiking would be even better if I could afford one!
Same
Definitely agree with you
Ive been looking for the VITUS E SOMMET but they're sold out EVERYWHERE in America. Any help guys?
Chain Reaction Cycles or Wiggle sells them. They should be back in stock by mid January- they're based in the UK but ship to the USA and are highly recommended.
@@mcgoldrick808 thank you for the feedback brother
@@danrashtizadeh1 *sister 😜 you're welcome!
why no mention of flyer? its also one of the big production brands, and specially in switzerland very popular
I am interestet in a flat drop test
