Downhill duel: E-MTB vs MTB - which is faster?

Until now, the uphill has been considered the dömane of the E-MTB. But some people suspected that the motorised bike could also score points downhill. EMTB put it to the test and asked race icon Fabien Barel to experiment downhill.


Johannes Biechele is: The face behind ... Fazua

Five Bavarian lads are asserting themselves against the big industry players with their lightweight drive unit, while a school dropout is establishing a completely separate e-category. Fazua is currently writing what is probably the most exciting start-up story in the bike industry.

EMTB Supertrail No. 12: Mont Chaberton

Mont Chaberton on the Italian-French border offers e-mountain bikers the almost unbelievable panorama of the Western Alps, a challenging ascent and a dramatic downhill trail.


The most beautiful hut tours: start of the EMTB series

The Ritten is perhaps the most beautiful panoramic mountain in South Tyrol - and the Albergo Briol hut, built in 1928, is the most beautiful place on its slopes. Here it seems as if time has stood still. Part 1 of our new EMTB series.
