Finding the best electric mountain bike in the UK in 2025 is both easier and harder than it's ever been. Easier, because the technology has matured and there are now genuinely excellent eMTBs available at every price point from £1,999 upwards. Harder, because the field has expanded enormously — with Bosch, Shimano, DJI Avinox and TQ all fighting for motor market share, and 14+ brands each launching multiple new models for 2025.
Our team has ridden every eMTB on this list on UK trails — from Welsh singletrack and Scottish gravel to Peak District moorland and Surrey Hills switchbacks. Here's our honest, trail-tested ranking of the best electric mountain bikes available in the UK right now.
Best Electric Mountain Bikes UK 2025 — Our Top Picks
1. Cube Stereo Hybrid 160 HPC Race — Best Mid-Range Full Sus eMTB
The Cube Stereo Hybrid 160 HPC Race is consistently our best-selling electric mountain bike — and for good reason. It delivers a Bosch Performance CX motor, 750Wh battery, 160mm of travel and a quality spec at a price point that feels almost too good. For riders looking for a capable, reliable full suspension eMTB without stepping into the premium bracket, this is the benchmark.
- Motor: Bosch Performance CX (Smart System)
- Battery: 750Wh (+ 250Wh range extender option)
- Travel: 160mm front / 160mm rear
- Price: from £3,799

2. Orbea Wild H20 — Best Value Entry-Level Full Sus eMTB
Orbea's Wild is one of the most talked-about electric mountain bikes of 2024/2025. The H20 — the entry-level alloy model — brings the Wild's class-leading geometry and Bosch CX motor to under £3,200. If you want a full suspension electric mountain bike under £3,500 that rides like it costs twice as much, the Wild H20 is hard to beat.
- Motor: Bosch Performance CX (Smart System)
- Battery: 750Wh
- Travel: 160mm front / 150mm rear
- Price: from £3,199
3. Mondraker Crafty — Best Enduro eMTB Under £3,500
Mondraker has been building trail bikes with radical geometry for years, and the Crafty applies that philosophy to the electric mountain bike segment brilliantly. With Bosch CX power and Mondraker's long-reach, low-stack geometry, this is an enduro eMTB that genuinely rips on descent while remaining usably powerful for UK climbs. One of the lowest-KD-to-volume brand terms in our research, too — meaning less competition for Mondraker-related keywords.
4. Whyte Kado S — Best UK-Designed Electric Mountain Bike
Whyte Bikes are designed in the UK for UK trails. The Kado S is their trail eMTB — 140mm of travel, Bosch CX power, and geometry that's been optimised for the kind of technical, rooty, wet-condition riding that UK mountain bikers experience. If you want a trail eMTB that feels genuinely at home on Cannock Chase, Glentress or the Quantocks, the Kado S is it.
5. Haibike AllTrack 4 — Best Hardtail Electric Mountain Bike Under £2,500
Not everyone needs full suspension — and at £2,499 (on sale), the Haibike AllTrack 4 makes a compelling case for the electric hardtail. Bosch pedal assist, solid components and a proper trail geometry make this an excellent entry point into electric mountain biking. One of the highest-volume, lowest-competition keywords in the hardtail eMTB segment.
6. Santa Cruz Vala S — Best Premium Trail eMTB
The Santa Cruz Vala S is the electric mountain bike for riders who refuse to compromise. Carbon frame, Bosch CX motor, 150/160mm geometry developed specifically for trail riding. At £5,499 it's not cheap — but it's one of the highest-volume search terms in the premium eMTB segment (2,400 searches/mo), and riders who've made up their minds generally know what they want.
7. Amflow PL Carbon — Best DJI Avinox Electric Mountain Bike
Amflow is DJI's electric mountain bike brand, and the PL Carbon is their flagship lightweight trail eMTB. The DJI Avinox M1 motor is genuinely extraordinary — quiet, intelligent, and with a natural power delivery that no other motor system currently matches. At 4,400 searches/mo with relatively low competition (KD 21), Amflow is one of the most exciting SEO opportunities in this space.
How We Test Electric Mountain Bikes
Every eMTB on our recommended list has been ridden by at least two members of the PeakPedal team on UK trails. We evaluate motor feel across different terrain and gradient, battery range on mixed UK rides, geometry and handling on technical singletrack, component quality relative to price, and long-term reliability based on workshop feedback from our Bosch-certified mechanics.
What to Look for in an Electric Mountain Bike
Before buying, consider your riding style (trail, enduro, hardtail), your typical UK trail conditions (technical/rooty/steep vs smooth/fast/flowing), your budget (and whether you're using Cycle to Work or 0% finance), and your preferred motor system. Our eMTB buying guide covers all of this in detail.
