Even the heavy snow that followed the rain this year didn't stop me from doing regular trail laps. The Macina Kapoho was really in its element on snow-covered trails. Where you could hardly make any progress on a normal bike, I was able to continue flowing with the wide plus rollers. The electronics never had any problems with mud and wet conditions. On the other hand, the cold made itself felt, because even at minus eight degrees I was still able to ride the Isar trails. With the low temperatures, the range was noticeably lower, which is no wonder. I also had the feeling that the Bosch motor was no longer pushing smoothly in these conditions.
In addition to trail excursions, the bike also had to serve as an everyday means of transport in the city centre in all weathers. Maintenance was kept to a minimum, which the bike coped with surprisingly well.
Conclusion on the KTM Macina Kapoho 274 by Nic Dörpholz, EMTB test and photo rider
Fun E-MTB for all situations. The Macina Kapoho had to withstand the most adverse conditions and never let me down. Only the cover of the remote lever came off far too early.
