New to eBikes - where to start?

Hey there! That's awesome you're diving into eMTBs – you're going to love them on those singletrack climbs! For your 15-25 mile rides, I'd say focusing on a full-power motor like a Bosch Performance Line CX or Shimano EP8 is key, as they offer the torque to make those climbs a breeze and generally have good battery efficiency for that distance with a 625Wh or 750Wh battery. My best advice was to actually try different motors; the feel can vary, so a demo day is invaluable. For a capable but friendly trail bike, check out the Specialized Levo SL (if you want lighter assist) or a Canyon Spectral:ON for a full-power option – both are super fun!
