With e-bikes getting lighter and lighter, it\u2019s becoming harder to distinguish them from standard, non-electric models, especially in the for-sport electric mountain bike game. You see, unlike utility and cargo-focused e-bikes, power isn\u2019t the name of the game when it comes to lightweight e-MTBs. Instead, it\u2019s agility and natural pedal feel\u2014both essential when it comes to hitting the trails at a blistering pace.<\/p>\n
Many manufacturers of electric motors specifically designed for mountain bike applications have focused precisely on lowering weight while offering a natural-feeling pedal assist with just enough grunt to allow you to go the extra mile. A good example of this comes in the form of the Urta Hybrid e-MTB from Italian cycling company Wilier. Packing a Fazua<\/a> Ride 60 motor, the Urta Hybrid is on the forefront of tech, and delivers impressive power and range figures, especially considering that it weighs no more than 16 kilograms.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
