Help me chose a new eMTB

[zalle]

Hi guys,

I own a 2018 Giant e-full 1.5+, with yamaha motor. 500w battery. 27.5+

I want to get a new bike, mostly because of range, looking into the 750w cubes.

I don't want to spend more than 4000€ (well, not a lot more), and I see I can get the Stereo Hybrid 140 or 160. Unfortunately the FOX suspension is just out of my budget.

I ride mostly dry (ish) hills, not enduro, but not really cross country. I really like the type of ride my Giant gives me.

Should I look more into the 140 or the 160 model?

Is the basic 34mm Fox 150mm much better than the Rockshox 35mm 150mm Recon TK?

Thanks for any input.

Look at E-CELLS Super Monarch Crown from Pahrump, Nevada, USA. My friend and I both have this bike and found it to be above the comparable 2 wheel drive e-mtb's in quality and far above in features and value for the price of $4,800. USD.
This bike is a "utility" bike which I got for hunting to carry boned-out big game meat plus myself. It has a 400 pound load limit! So yeah, the 2 wheel drive, 2 batteries and dual suspension, front and rear racks and fenders all add up to 95 pounds. Not for fast trail riding but on paved roads it IS fast - maybe too much so for British laws.
You may get killed on the UK's ungodly high import duties so my condolences on that.
