Aside from the e-MTB-specific things, buying an e-mountain bike is the same as buying a regular mountain bike. Although it takes a lot of inspiration from the One-Sixty Enduro mountain bike, Merida has tailored the bike’s geometry to suit the weightier e-MTB platform better. If you’re looking for a first step into mountain biking, e-MTBs are a great stepping stone as they lessen the learning or fitness curve required when riding mountain bikes.
