Which are the hottest eMTB brands of 2021? Which companies are most likely to receive your hard-earned cash in 2022? Which motor do you prefer and what clothing is in style? We have the answers – your answers!

First off, we want to thank you all again for your participation, engagement and trust! The fact that more than 16,000 bikers around the world answered up to 90 individual questions and provided us with such detailed feedback can’t be taken for granted! All the more so when we consider that the average time to complete the survey was over 20 minutes! In turn, from the very bottom of our hearts: grazie mille, muchas gracias, tack, merci beaucoup, どうも, dzięki, obrigado, спасибо, hvala, teşekkürler, 谢谢你, شكرا, děkuji, vielen Dank, hartelijk bedankt, thanks a lot!

But what exactly do we do with your responses? The results of our reader survey provide significant input into our editorial planning and the future direction of our magazine. It also allows us to select the most relevant brands for our group tests. As much as we would like to review every single bike out here, we can only pick so many. Finally, your feedback helps us determine the most relevant price points for our tests. As you can see, our readers really are an integral part of our editorial planning.

Below, you won’t only find out which brands you think make the best eMTB bike products but also who you’ll buy your next eMTB from.

The best eMTB brands 2021 in detail

So how have these results been compiled? It’s really simple: in our reader survey we asked which brands create the best bikes and which brand you are most like to buy. As a bilingual magazine, we made use of the opportunity to analyse data not just from our German-speaking readers but also from the international readers of our English edition. We looked at these separately and it revealed some exciting results.


Best Brand 2021: Parts & Accessories

A top-flight bike is more than just the sum of its parts but even the best bikes are only as good as their weakest component. So which brand makes the best products? We asked, you responded. Here are the best brands across 13 different categories.

The best parts and accessories in detail

Just like with the bikes, we’ve compiled two separate sets of data when it comes to parts and accessories, dividing German-speaking and international readers. While there’s common consensus in certain categories, there are stark contrasts to be seen in the brand preferences across others. Printed in bold you’ll find the brand that received the most votes overall – languages and nationalities have no effect on this result. As you can see for yourself, the breakdown of the results is pretty interesting:


Our lucky winner

One reason we like our reader survey so much is not just that we can get to know you better, but also that we can surprise one of you with a new bike. This year, together with our partner Haibike, we raffled off a Haibike AllMtn SE worth € 10,000. Unfortunately, our lucky winner, Patric, will have to wait a while longer because we’re just as affected by the current delivery issue as everyone else.

This year’s prize: Haibike AllMtn SE | Yamaha PW-X2/600 Wh | 160/160 mm (f/r)
22.58 kg (size L) | € 10,000 | Manufacturer’s website
