E-MOUNTAINBIKE Magazine

E-MOUNTAINBIKE is the world’s leading magazine for e-mountainbikes and modern eMTB lifestyle, serving as the global benchmark for testing. Since our founding in 2013, we have accompanied and shaped the industry’s evolution – from the very first prototypes to today’s high-end machines.

As an international pioneer, we bring the industry together and actively drive progress: With our Think Tanks, from St. Vigil to the Scottish Highlands, we create platforms for exchange, innovation, and new perspectives. Our awards are recognized worldwide as a definitive guide for riders, retailers, and manufacturers alike.

Our editorial team combines years of independent testing experience with deep technical expertise. We consciously think beyond classic categories, evaluating products and developments consistently from the perspective and everyday reality of our readers, rather than viewing them as just the sum of their parts. 

E-MOUNTAINBIKE is published in both German and English, reaching an international audience.
