Top Electric Bikes for Mountain Adventures

Top Electric Bikes for Mountain Adventures

For those cyclists who like to live on the adventurous side and are looking to conquer the various off-road trails in the UK, we have just the solution. E-Movement’s electric mountain bikes are ideal for thrill-seekers due to their fat tyres and sturdy frames, enabling you to navigate different terrains with ease. Keep reading as we provide a complete guide on our stylist eMTB options, so that you can make an informed decision regarding which one will be best-suited for you.  

Thor Hybrid eMTB

Our Thor Hybrid is the epitome of agility and strength, and you can embark on all sorts of adventures with the 350W and 250W versions respectively. Here’s what this roal-legal e-bike has to offer:

Bafang Controller and Motor

Bafang has earned its place in the e-bike industry as a trusted powerhouse, known particularly for its components' exceptional durability and performance. With a reliable Bafang controller and motor, you can take this lightweight bike for a consistent and powerful ride every time. Whether you’re venturing off the beaten path or commuting through the city, we assure you that the motor won’t give out on you. 

Disconnectable Throttle

Since you legally cannot use a throttle on the UK roads, most road-legal electric bikes come without throttles. However, we’ve found an ingenious solution with our Thor pedelec; a disconnectable throttle. All you have to do is unplug it for your commutes and connect it back in for off-road adventures. 

Extensive Battery Life and Advanced Pedal Assist

Thor’s advanced pedal assist modes are bound to elevate your riding experience, ensuring that you can seamlessly switch between five pedal assist levels to overcome obstacles and conquer steep inclines without any hassle. Additionally, the robust Samsung 36V 10aH integrated battery offers a range up to 60 kilometres on a full charge. Don’t hesitate to explore vast distances with this model’s improved riding aesthetics and ergonomics. 

Front Hydraulic Suspension

The cutting-edge front hydraulic suspension delivers a smooth and efficient ride by absorbing shocks and allowing you to push past every terrain with style. You’ll find yourself navigating challenging trails with confidence while enjoying your cycling adventures to a whole new level. 

27.5 Inch Tyres

To strike the perfect balance between the robustness of fat wheels and the agility of standard tyres, we’ve integrated this hybrid eMTB with 27.5-inch Maxxis tyres. Due to their wider profile, riders can have peace of mind knowing they are cycling with superior grip and enhanced stability. 

Lightweight Frame

Thor has been crafted from lightweight yet robust aluminium alloy for endurance, ensuring you can overcome the toughest obstacles with nimble handling. It only weighs 22 kgs, but can carry a weight up to 100 kgs. 

Hydraulic Disc Brakes

Here at E-Movement, we prioritise safety and this shows in Thor’s unmatched stopping power. If you frequently encounter challenging weather conditions or uneven paths, the bike’s Logal Hydraulic disc brakes will provide you with responsive and precise braking ability. Riders can revel in the assurance of a secure ride and unparalleled control when it comes to e-bikes with hydraulic brakes.  

Water Resistance

Our Thor can brave any element, thanks to its IP65 water and dust resistance rating. It is one of our most resilient electric bikes, so feel free to take it for a spin in all sorts of weather conditions. Be it sunshine or rain, you will have the support of a steadfast ride to conquer off-road terrains with ease. 

Coloured Bafang Display

If you are someone who likes to stay informed on all their riding experiences, this eMTB’s coloured Bafang display is extremely user-friendly. It provides cycling information regarding all the essential information, such as distance travelled, pedal assistance level, battery level, and speed. By providing intuitive clarity, the display will keep you connected to vital statistics for an engaging and smooth adventure. 

Thunder eMTB


E-Movement’s Thunder v4 eMTB is back with the newest version v4.2 that includes incredible specs and better colours. Pick from the likes of black, orange, or beige when you decide on this model and ride off into a world of limitless adventures. Let’s consider how the Thunder e-bike continues to redefine functionality and style with its various features:


Hardtail Front Suspension System

Expertly designed for optimal shock absorption, Thunder’s hardtail front suspension provides unmatched cycling experiences on the roads and off-road trails alike. The front component of the system handles downhill slopes and rough trails effortlessly, while the rear stays locked for extra power. As a  result, riders have the benefit of reduced weight, enhanced steering, low maintenance, and stability when they opt for the Thunder e-bicycle. Bumpy roads and rocky paths are a breeze with this hardtail design, embodying front-end comfort and rear-end power for full range and smooth rides. 

Shimano 7S/8S Gears

We’ve incorporated Shimano 7S/8S gear in all our electric mountain bikes because of their reliability, performance, and cost-effectiveness. These gears are renowned for their precision and reliability, and facilitate smooth transitions across different descents, gradients, trails, and terrains. Not only are they perfect for those riders who are interested in enduro riding, but they also ensure optimal cadence for every situation.

You can adjust your cycling intensity on the go since you have the flexibility to quickly shift through a range of speeds with Shimano gears. Their robust construction also promises durability, delivering consistent performance without additional costs and reducing wear over time. 

Digitally Connected Throttle

When you opt for E-Movement, you’re choosing convenience. Although Thunder’s 250W version adheres to the UK’s standard law for electric mountain bikes, we’ve included a digitally connectable throttle you can enable on off-road terrains for greater speeds. This fat-tyre e-bike’s T6 coloured display gives riders the ability to control the throttle along with monitoring vital stats. Conserve energy on milder downhill terrains to cover more range and activate it for a demanding upward trail or climb; either way, customisation is within arm’s reach with this mountain bike.

Rear Hub Brushless Motor

Like all E-Movement electric bikes, Thunder is available for purchase in two motor variants: 250W and 500W. The 250W road-legal variant is ideal for lighter terrains and daily rides. In contrast, the robust 500W version has been designed for those who seek more torque and the thrill of conquering challenging landscapes like off-road trails and rugged hills. 

And with the motor’s brushless design, you can revel in minimal wear and tear, smooth and quiet journeys, and improved efficiency. This means that the Thunder e-bike will deliver consistent power output, faster accelerations and a transformative cycling experience wherever you go.


All-Terrain Tyres

Our Thunder is always ready for adventure with its 26x4-inch fat eMTB tyres. They possess an impressive 120 TPI (threads per inch) for durability and grip, ensuring precision and resilience at every turn. These tyres stand out due to their all-terrain prowess, helping riders navigate sandy beaches, slipper city streets, rugged mountains, and much more. Whether it’s asphalt, gravel, mud, you can manoeuvre all with effortless grace.

E-Movement’s all-terrain tyres are also manufactured with puncture resistance in mind and are capable of withstanding the unexpected on the road. Gone are the ways where you worried about a flat tyre as these tyres can handle both debris and urban ground. 


48V, 10.5 Ah Integrated Battery

Sustain power on your journeys using Thunder’s 48V, 10.5 Ah battery. We use premium Panasonic/Samsung cells to guarantee the bike’s reliable energy output and longevity. Since the battery has been fitted within the frame on the lower tube, the design still looks sleek while giving the vehicle a lower centre of gravity through weight distribution. 

There’s no need for frequent recharges if you want to experience a fast, extended ride due to the battery’s robust capacity. Additionally, you’ll be pleased to know that the high quality cell construction provides safe, rapid charging and resistance to capacity loss over time.

We fit the battery into the frame to enhance the bike’s ergonomic design while ensuring utmost protection in rough off-road conditions.
