That’s a seriously heavy bike and it means you might want to have a friend help you lift it onto your car rack… if you can find one rated for it. The only major downside to the Super Monarch AWD 1000 is its weight, at just over 90 lb (41 kg). But come on, when you have an e-bike as ridiculous as this, you have to lean into it!

It’s also got extra-wide fat tires which are just as good at rolling over curbs on the street as they at hitting obstacles on the trail.Īnd in case you’re wondering, yes it comes in other color options, so if you don’t like the screaming orange then you can go with red or black. That’s why the Super Monarch comes with two batteries to make sure you can keep putting on the miles. With two motors providing all-wheel-drive at 1,000 W, riders can burn through a battery pretty quickly. Neither of these are top end parts, but they’re both quite good and do everything I need for a recreational full-suspension e-bike. Upfront we have a GT Mark adjustable air suspension fork complemented by an adjustable DNM air shock in the rear. This flamboyant orange beast of an e-bike rocks a pair of 500 W motors that combine to give 1,000 W of all-wheel-drive off-roading fun.Īnd whether you’re using the bike to hit the trails or sticking to the street, the full-suspension will make sure your ride is as good as it can be. Next up we have the Super Monarch AWD 1000.

For now, suffice it to say that the FREY EX Pro is an absolute machine for trails and the street.Īnd don’t worry, the rest of the bikes on this list are more affordable, but we had to start with the best!.

This isn’t even a full review of this epic bike – that will be coming in the next few weeks. If you’re looking for a high-quality electric mountain bike that can hang with the best, the FREY EX should be on your list like it is on mine. And the fact that they build amazing bikes is the cherry on top!

I can vouch for them being amazing, salt of the earth people. I actually went to visit the FREY factory in Jinhua, China and met the team. And while some people are understandably hesitant about sending that much money off to China to a company they’ve never seen in person, let me put your fears to rest. Of course those high spec components, dual batteries, and gigantic motor don’t come cheap, ballooning the bike’s price up to around $4,000 for the top-end model. This is just an incredible e-bike that you can ride just about anywhere, street or trails, and have an awesome time on while pushing it hard thanks to the high-spec components. Together that adds up to 1.5 kWh of capacity and equals an entire afternoon of riding trails without having to stop and charge. At the top end I can hit around 36 or 37 mph, which is around 60 km/h, and that’s flat ground speed, which is pretty nuts.Īnd before we move one, the last thing that I want to note about the FREY EX is that the Pro model here comes with the option for two batteries, with one hidden inside the downtube and the other piggybacking on top. Thanks to the mid-drive setup, you get power through the bike gears and can keep it low geared for torque or high geared for speed. When you’re on the street you can really open it up and see how fast this motor can take you. Sure, I probably could have done a lot of this on a lesser e-bike, but it is the high build-quality of the FREY EX that gave me the confidence to even attempt it and show myself what I could do. In fact, I’m doing all sorts of awesome riding that I never would have tried before, and that the high-end suspension and extreme power of the Frey EX has given me the confidence to try.
