Here it is, the first ever issue of E-MOUNTAINBIKE Magazine! At the beginning we really didn’t know where this journey would take us: E-mountainbikes were new, they’re still new, and in the future they will continue to develop at a rapid pace. But even now, they have become a real success story for the whole bike sector.

In all honesty, we surprised ourselves a little bit with this edition: the endless knowledge and experience that we have gained during the production will surely cause some heated discussions. Pioneering work couldn’t come much better!

This issue has many Highlights: Not only did we test the ten most interesting e-mountainbikes and motors, we also went to the Wild West, to the Scottish Highlands, in the Cube testlab and to the manufacturer Haibike.

To read this (and every upcoming) issue, you need to install our free app for iPad and Android tablets (coming soon) or you can use our browser-based online-viewer.
