The up to 625 Wh battery is located in the down tube of the aluminum frame and reliably supplies the drive with energy even on longer trips. This is where the mudguards, lighting system and, above all, the luggage rack come in handy.
Price: € 3.549
Kettler Quadriga Duo CX12 SUV
With the Quadriga Duo CX12 SUV, Kettler has a true all-rounder in its range: Thanks to the double battery with a capacity of up to 1.250 Wh, 150 mm of spring travel front and rear and real MTB tires, you are prepared for every tour. The Bosch CX motor, in conjunction with the 12-speed gear system, also ensures that even the steepest climbs - even off-road - shouldn't be an obstacle. The Supernova lighting, which bathes even the darkest paths in bright daylight, is also very nice.
Price: 6.399 euros – 6.799 euros

Nicolai G1 EBOXX
With a specially adapted explorer kit, the aluminum experts from Nicolai transform their Bosch e-bike G1 EBOXX into a genuine SUV e-bike. In addition to SKS mudguards, this also includes a Tubus luggage rack and a lighting system from Supernova. The high-quality chassis provides 160 mm of spring travel, with which you can also throw in a trail during the tour. The E14 variant is also one of the very few full-suspension E-MTBs on the market that is equipped with a belt drive and a Rohloff shifting hub.
Price: 8.239 euros – 10.169 euros
Scott Axis eRide Evo
What do you get when you combine an excellent sporty E-Fully like a Scott Genius eRide with a good dose of suitability for everyday use? Exactly - the Axis eRide Evo! Its sensitive 140 mm chassis, as well as the rather sporty geometry, also allow a trip into the terrain, while the high-quality full equipment makes everyday life easier. With the dual drive system consisting of a Bosch CX motor and a 625 Wh battery in the down tube, Scott also relies on a powerful and reliable system.
Price: € 5.199
Bra AtomX Cross Pro-S
In addition to its striking appearance, the AtomX Cross Pro-S from BH also has numerous exciting technical features to offer. Thanks to a maximum permissible total weight of 160 kg, it shines with a particularly high payload, which can also be transported up steep slopes without any problems thanks to the powerful Brose Drive S Mag motor. So that the tour doesn't end prematurely, the Spaniards have also given their e-SUV a large 720 Wh battery that can be easily removed or inserted from the top of the top tube.
Price: € 5.099
BH AtomX Cross Pro-S E-MTB on test: Basque interpretation of an all-rounder
If you don't want to decide between on-road and off-road, you should take a closer look at the BH AtomX Cross Pro-S. Whether it's a commute to work, a family outing, a bike tour or light off-road use: the bike is only limited by the will of the rider. Little things could still be optimized, as with practically every bike. All in all, a very good complete package at a fair price.
Flyer Goroc4
In view of a lively and powerful Panasonic GX Ultimate motor, sensitive 140 mm chassis and MTB tires, the sporty DNA of the Goroc4 is all too clear. Due to the high-quality full equipment, the all-rounder from the Swiss e-bike manufacturer from the very beginning can also be used excellently in everyday life. The semi-integrated battery with a capacity of up to 750 Wh can also be easily removed from the side. Nice!
E-bike all-rounder with off-road potential: Test Flyer Goroc4 4.10
Test Flyer Goroc4: A lot of potential instead of a niche: With the Goroc4 4.10, e-bike pioneer Flyer presents a trekking fully that has proven itself in everyday use as well as off-road. In the test, Velomotion took a closer look at the Swiss SUV with a clear conscience. More and more technology, more and more possibilities: The world of bicycles and e-bikes is becoming more and more […]
Riese & Mueller SuperDelite
Safety is a top priority on the SuperDelite from Riese&Müller: Not only does the full-suspension rear end specially developed for touring use speak for it, but also the fact that all models are equipped with an ABS braking system as standard. The bike, which is also visually very successful, can also set itself apart from the crowd with its Bosch double battery with a total capacity of up to 1.125 Wh. The Bosch CX motor provides powerful support at all times - on request in the S-Pedelec variant also up to 45km/h.
Price: 6.799 euros – 8.799 euros

Conway Cairon SUV FS
The selection of full-suspension step-through bikes isn’t all that big – it’s a pity really, as riders of these bikes in particular will appreciate the additional comfort at the rear. So it's all the better that Conway will have exactly such an e-bike in its program with the Cairon FS. The 120 mm spring travel at the front and rear pulls the tooth out of even the worst bike path and thanks to the power of the Bosch CX motor together with the long-range 625 Wh battery, nothing stands in the way of extensive tours.
Price: 4.199 euros – 4.999 euros
M1 Erzberg GT
With the Erzberg, the carbon specialists from M1 Sporttechnik have a hot iron in the fire for the coming season. The bike powered by a Brose Drive S Mag motor is also available as a fully equipped GT version. This is how the off-road rowdy suddenly becomes a serious companion for the way to the office or the tour at the weekend. Thanks to the large 750 Wh battery, the latter can be a little longer. And: It wouldn't be a real M1 e-bike if the Erzberg GT weren't also available as an S-Pedelec.
Price: 7.499 euros – 7.999 euros
Bergamont E-Horizon FS
While many SUV e-bikes are e-MTBs trimmed for everyday usability, the Bergamont E-Horizon was designed from the ground up to be a comfortable companion for tours, commutes and everything in between. With 80 or 100 mm spring travel and its very relaxed seating position, ergonomics are particularly important. All models are equipped with Bosch motors, most of them with the sporty CX unit. Only the cheaper entry-level model relies on a not quite as powerful but pleasantly quiet Performance Line drive.
Price: 3.799 euros – 5.499 euros
