Bulls E-Stream Evo FS3 RS on test
At Bulls, system integration is not just reserved for the expensive models. Here, too, the battery sits in the down tube in a visually pleasing way, and a Brose motor with good running characteristics is at work on the bottom bracket.

The motor suits the bike well, only at low revs does the support feel a little rough. Bulls has given the E-Stream plenty of suspension travel, which provides a lot of confidence on descents. The slack angles and wide handlebars create an enduro feeling. Uphill, the rear suspension feels soft and sags. The platform adjustment on the shock can't improve this. The component mix of the Bulls is fine. There are hardly any cheat parts. However, it lacks an adjustable seatpost and we found the wide "health grips" a little unsuitable.


ConclusionIf you're looking for an E-MTB that really lets you fly downhill, the Bulls E-Stream Evo is the right choice.
