Very Good Electric Mountain Bikes

Electric mountain bikes scoring between 56 and 70 on Tower's 100-point eBike scale are considered "Very Good Electric Mountain Bikes". Understand the eBike market has an extremely wide range in terms of quality so we use the full breadth of our 100-point scale to rate eBikes effectively. For this reason, a score in the 60s is still considered a very good electric mountain bike. This isn't like high school letter grading where a 60% is a low D. A 60 on our scale is still a very good quality electric bike. If you get something in the rating range, you will still have a good electric bike but you are getting close to the distinction line of what separates quality electric mountain bikes from the rest.

Mediocre Electric Mountain Bikes

Mountain eBikes scoring between 41 and 55 on Tower's 100-point electric bike rating scale are what we consider to be "Mediocre Electric Mountain Bikes". While you might be able to pick these up for what seems like a good deal, usually with this classification of electric mountain bikes there are some major tradeoffs on the quality, performance, and durability front.

Electric Mountain Bikes Not Recommended

Electric mountain bikes scoring between 0 and 40 on Tower's 100-point electric bike rating scale are what we consider to be "Not Recommended Electric Mountain Bike". Our rating system is a very structured rating system designed by eBike mechanics with decades of experience in the traditional bicycle and eBike industry, so when in addition to getting a an electric mountain bike with a lot of questionable components and quality trade-offs, when you see an e-bike in this classification group you can expect to have a lot more regular maintenance issues to deal with it.
