Highlights:
- It Rails Impressively precise. Uncommonly agile. With its low center of gravity, modern geometry and short chainstays, Moterra's handling is in a class of its own.
- One Size Doesn’t Fit All: Riders come in all sizes. Proportional Response is the only design that addresses this fact, tailoring the suspension layout by size so that every rider gets optimal traction, suppleness and control.
- Power & Style: Bosch's powerful Performance CX drive unit and a long-lasting PowerTube battery integrate cleanly into Moterra's burly carbon frame. The power and range to ride anything — in a beautiful package.
- All-Mountain Ready: Built to go hard with 160mm of dialed suspension. Big, grippy tires. 29" wheels (27.5 on the S for the best fit). Properly wide bars and properly short stems. Powerful brakes and dropper posts. The good stuff.
Proportional Response.
Utilizing size-specific Center-of-Gravity data, the suspension linkage is tailored by size so that every rider experiences optimized suspension performance while braking, climbing and descending.
Built Light. Built Tough.
A BallisTec Carbon frame keeps the mass to a minimum. But since our engineers prioritized durability over gram-counting, confidence is built in (so is a lifetime warranty)(
The Ai Advantage.
Our Ai Offset Drivetrain opens up the rear triangle for more tire clearance, while keeping the chainstays short for nimble agility. A stiffer, stronger rear wheel is just icing on the cake.
Shock Linkage.
A key part of the Proportional Response suspension design. Each size frame gets its own custom shock links and pivot locations for that "made for you" suspension feel.
Si Motor Mount.
Proprietary Cannondale motor mount positions the Bosch drive unit low and forward in the frame, keeping the Center of Gravity low and the chainstays short for uncommonly agile handling.
Protection.
To protect the motor and battery from damage, Moterra features a sealed battery cover and a burly, trials-style skid plate.
LockR Pivots.
Thru-axle pivot system creates a rock-solid connection between both sides of the swingarm for instantaneous response. No twist, no flex and no special tools required.
Water Bottle.
A place for a real water bottle, right in the front triangle. How about that?

Electric MTB Guide
Electric Mountain Bike Guide
Is an Electric Mountain Bike Right for Me?
If you’re new to the cycling world, we highly recommend taking a look at our bike buying guide overview or our electric bike buying guide to help you decide what type of e bike is right for you.
When you’re choosing an electric mountain bike, there are a few things to look out for, which can help you to work out the quality and performance to expect from a particular model.
Usage & Suspension travel
Just like a regular full suspension or hardtail mountain bike, the amount of available suspension travel on an eMTB varies with the intended use. Depending on the type of mountain bike riding you’ll be doing, you’ll want a bike with longer or shorter suspension travel as well as components suited to more or less technical terrain.
Frame Material
Most electric mountain bike frames are made from aluminium alloy, although some are made from carbon fibre composite.
Aluminium alloy is lightweight, stiff, strong. Manufacturers often develop their own aluminium alloys, such as ALUXX by Giant. Aluminium is found on a wide range of e bikes, from entry-level and enthusiast bikes, right the way up to top-spec eMTBs.
Carbon fibre is lighter, stiffer, stronger, and more expensive than aluminium. The main benefit for electric mountain bikes is that carbon frames are stiffer for improved handling.
Drive Tech
Designed to enable you to have more fun on the trails, all of our electric mountain bikes feature powerful crank drive motors with long lasting lithium-ion battery packs and easily accessible control units.
Motor
Crank drive motors boost your natural pedalling power. The cranks are connected to the motor and the motor is connected to the chainring which then powers the bike forward. The bike senses the pressure that you put though the pedals and then adds an appropriate level of power to make pedalling easier. This additional power is delivered seamlessly, and you will feel like your legs have just become much more powerful. Motors all have a nominal 250w output and are usually provided by big component manufacturers like Bosch, Shimano, Yamaha and Brose.
Battery
Easily charged either on or off the bike the lithium-ion battery pack will offer you long lasting assistance. Where and how you ride will make a big difference to the range that you can expect to achieve from a single charge, but most e bikers find the capacity of these batteries to be more than sufficient. Some brands offer innovative ways to integrate the battery within the frame. 400Wh or 500Wh batteries are most common.
Control Units
All electric mountain bikes allow you to adjust the amount of power the motor delivers. This helps to help you manage the battery capacity. Control units have some kind of display that, at the very least, shows remaining battery capacity and the current power mode. Some control units feature a handlebar mounted display unit that displays additional information like estimated range and satellite navigation prompts. Many eMTBs offer Bluetooth and ANT+ connectivity with smartphone apps for fine tuning the motor output and accessing more advanced features.
Groupset
An electric mountain bike’s groupset, is where the biggest difference in component quality is seen. A complete groupset comprises of the following parts:
- Chainset (aka Crankset)
- Bottom bracket
- Brakes
- Brake levers
- Shifter
- Derailleur
- Chain
- Cassette
Electric mountain bike groupset components are typically supplied by either Shimano or SRAM, sometimes with additional manufacturers like Magura, Tektro and TRP supplying brake systems. You will mostly find one-by drivetrains with a single front chainring and a wide range rear cassette.
Shimano and SRAM both produce a range of groupsets to suit different budgets. The hierarchy table here compares the different Shimano and SRAM groupsets to determine which bikes offer the best performance.
Wheel Size
Just like regular mountain bikes, e MTBs are available with different wheel sizes. 27.5” (650b) and 29” wheels are both available but the most common e MTB size is 27.5”+ (6fattie) that bridges the gap between the two.
27.5” (650b) wheels strike the ideal balance between fast rolling and nimble handling. They are lighter than 29” wheels so are faster to accelerate. On the other hand, the smaller wheel size rolls less efficiently than the larger size, making the bike more prone to losing speed over rough ground.
29” wheels roll fastest but are less nimble. These wheels are naturally smoother over rough ground but are heavier and slower to accelerate. Larger riders may find a better fit on a 29er, but smaller riders may find 29” wheels a little cumbersome.
27.5+ (6fattie) wheels feature wider 2.8” – 3.0” tyres and offer more cushioning (float) as well as more grip. With the extra size of the high-volume tyres, the overall wheel diameter is similar to a 29er, so these wheels carry speed very well on rough ground. Plus sized wheels are ideal for electric mountain bikes as they deal best with the extra weight of the motor and battery, and are great for riding more challenging terrain.
Suspension components
Electric mountain bike suspension components (i.e. the fork or rear shock absorber) are also a way to identify the quality of a bike. While Fox and RockShox are the most common manufacturers, there are a number of brands producing suspension components for mountain bikes.
Entry level electric mountain bikes (up to approximately £2,500) may come supplied with a fork and rear shock supplied by SR Suntour, X-Fusion or RockShox. These components will allow a limited amount of adjustment, including:
- Coil spring preload / air spring pressure adjustment.
- Lockout switch.
- Rebound damping adjustment on models towards the top of the price range.
Mid-range and enthusiast eMTBs (up to approximately £5,000) use components from brands including Fox, RockShox and Manitou. At this level, suspension components have features like:
- Preload adjustment / air spring pressure adjustment
- Rebound damping adjustment
- Lockout switch
- Multi-position ‘mode’ switch
- Compression damping adjustment
Top of the range electric bikes (over £5,000) also use components from Fox, RockShox and Manitou, with a few select models using parts from high-end suspension brands like Ohlins. At this price, suspension components have features including:
- Coil spring preload adjustment / air spring pressure adjustment
- High and low speed rebound damping adjustment
- High and low speed compression damping adjustment
- Lockout switch
- Multi-position ‘mode’ switch
- Advanced low-friction coatings (e.g. Fox’s golden-coloured Kashima coating)
