E-Bikes we ride

 Presently, there are two types of pedal assisted mountain bikes...

1. Hard-tail:       starting around $2,500.00   Only has shocks in the front (no rear shock)
1. Pro:
1. Cheaper... around $1,000 cheaper than the full suspension models
2. Less maintenance things to worry about
3. You can use a rear bicycle carrier, as your back wheel is fixed.
2. Con:
1. Less forgiving 
2. Rougher ride
3. A bit less weight.
2. Full-suspension:     starting around $3,500   Has front and rear shocks.
1. Pro:
1. Gives you more riding confidence in rough terrain 
2. More forgiving
3. Easier on your back... no jarring as you go over the bumps.
2. Con:
1. More expensive

I highly recommend readers to review the You-tube video link below, done by Electric Mountain Bike Network (EMBN)... they talk and show the difference between the two types of mountain bikes...
