Summary

You have seen all the reviews, but now its time to decide which one is our favorite. From Norco's monster truck Range VLT to Specialized's lightweight Kenevo SL, join Mike Levy, Henry Quinney, and Matt Beer to find out which eMTB came out on top.

With the Commencal Meta Power 29, you have the battery capacity and the power, but the elevated BB height perches the rider on top, rather than in the bike.
Rips up climbs
Mismatched suspension

The COMMENCAL META POWER 29 TEAM is the most affordable eMTB on test. Can it keep up with bikes costing almost twice as much?
Unbeatable value for money
Clever and robust spec
Excellent suspension and easy set-up
Poor finishing quality on the frame
Dropper post is difficult to operate
