Vitus make two full-suspension e-bikes - the Vitus E-Sommet VR and the entry-level version of the same bike, the Vitus E-Sommet tested here.
Great shape and handling
You need a key to remove the battery
Nov 2019 · Thomas Corfield
Direct to consumer brand Vitus is championing the E-Sommet VR as a hard-charging enduro style machine but at just € 4,300.
Rider-focused specification, no upgrades required
Sorted geometry makes for a capable all-rounder and confident descender
Great value
Awkward cable routing
Not able to fit a bottle
