What was unthinkable just a matter of years ago, is now the norm. Technology has an uncanny way of continually shifting the boundaries of what’s possible, opening up a whole world of opportunities. But, it isn’t just the products that change. In response, we’ve got to change too, open up to the new world order and take advantage of the new technological possibilities.

We love eMTBing, and it’s only going to get better in 2019 thanks to exciting, sometimes revolutionary new concepts! The differences between eMTBs have become bigger than ever, with more variety and more specialisation across the board. Nevertheless, when reviewing the 14 most exciting models of 2019, we’ve been able to find definitive answers to the most burning questions. Which is the best eMTB of 2019? What are the trends for the new season? And what developments will we be seeing in the future?


We all know that eMTBs aren’t cheap, but many of us don’t realise that the bike isn’t the only thing you’ll have to spend your cash on: gear, maintenance and spares all cost money too. What extra costs are involved in eMTBing and how much should you realistically expect to spend?


Hardly any other topic in the eMTB world is as hotly debated as the motor. But does it always come down to raw power? Or are the multitude of smaller details just as vital? We put nine of the most important motors through their paces and identified one clear winner.


A look behind the scenes and into the future, as well as the really important questions driving the Specialized Turbo Levo development team: what turns engineers into interior designers and why are the brains behind the Levo at least as egocentric as they are ingenious?

Whether you ride your eMTB all-year-round or keep it in the garage while the weather is cold, the last few winter weeks are the perfect time to dial in your bike for the upcoming season! Here we’ll explain what a thorough spring-clean involves and which bits you can sort out by yourself.


The New York Times, Germany’s ZEIT magazine, the BBC, the Wall Street Journal – it seems like everyone’s talking about the Beyond Burger: the meat that’s not meat, the revolution on your plate. But while most global news channels are obsessing over the flavours and consistency of the plant-based, fake-meat burger, they skim over the tragic reality of this scenario.

As of right now, all the exciting articles can be downloaded from our interactive tablet or smartphone app, and they’ll make their way onto the website over the next few weeks. Have fun reading!
