E-MTB Fully: The guide to your next Fully MTB
What is an E-MTB Fully?
Are you looking for the ultimate trail experience? Then an E-MTB Fully is just the thing for you! An E-MTB Fully - also known as a Fully MTB e-bike, MTB Fully e-bike or E-Fully MTB - is a full-suspension electric mountain bike that differs from a hardtail in that it has suspension on both axles. This provides a much more comfortable and safer riding experience on rough terrain. Whether steep climbs or technical downhill riding: Thanks to innovative technology, your fully will keep you stable and comfortable on the ground in any situation.
Advantages of an E-MTB fullys
- Effortless climbs: A powerful electric motor with up to 85 Nm torque (Bosch and Shimano) supports you even on very steep slopes.
- Better control and traction: The fully integrated suspension allows your bike to glide over uneven trails, ensuring greater stability and safety.
- Longer tours: With a high battery capacity (up to 750 Wh) and efficient motor support, you can also enjoy long distances without losing range.
- More riding fun: The unique riding experience on challenging terrain turns every trip into an adventure.
Areas of use for E-MTB fullys
Whether you are looking for leisurely tours on the edge of the Alps, challenging all-mountain or enduro trails - an E-MTB fully is the ideal companion. Thanks to its stable construction and flexible technical features, the bike is suitable for
- Tours in alpine terrain
- All-mountain and enduro trails
- Creative freeride applications including jumps
- Downhill sessions, even if specialised models are rare
The different types of E-MTB fullys
Touring E-MTB Fullys
These models are designed for comfort and endurance. With moderate suspension travel, stable battery performance and comfortable geometry, touring fullys offer ideal conditions for long exploratory tours. Perfect for use in alpine terrain, where comfort and range have top priority.
All mountain E-MTB fullys
All-mountain fullys are the ideal solution for versatile use on mixed trails. They combine sufficient suspension travel (approx. 140 mm) with a robust frame geometry so that they impress both on climbs and technically demanding descents.

Enduro E-MTB Fullys
Experienced riders who enjoy aggressive trail riding will find the ideal partner in enduro fullys. These bikes have a high suspension travel (150-170 mm) and an aggressive geometry that offer maximum stability and control on fast descents.
Light E-MTB fullys
For those who prefer a particularly agile and lightweight bike, there are Light E-MTB Fullys. These models use lighter components and motors such as the FAZUA Ride 60, which means that the total weight is often less than 20 kg. Ideal for sporty riders and urban use - without sacrificing off-road performance.
Women's E-MTB fullys
There are also special E-MTB fullys for female riders that are tailored to ergonomic needs and specific body proportions. Customised frame geometry and longer seating positions ensure maximum comfort and optimum control.
Important components of an E-MTB full-suspension bike
Various components play a decisive role in ensuring that your bike performs well in every situation. Here is an overview of the most important elements:
| Components | important aspects |
| Motor | Power (250-600 watts), torque (50-85 Nm), reliability (Bosch, Shimano, TQ, Fazua) |
| Battery | Battery capacity (up to 800 Wh, service life, charging cycles) |
| Suspension | Full suspension front and rear, suspension travel (120-190 mm), adjustability |
| Wheels | Sizes (27.5 inch, 29 inch, mullet setup), manoeuvrability and traction |
| Frame | Material (aluminium, carbon), geometry, ergonomics |
| Brakes | Hydraulic disc brakes, dosage and performance |
Motor
The electric motor in an E-MTB Fully not only provides support when pedalling, but also has a significant influence on the overall riding experience. At STATERA, you will find high-quality BAFANG, Bosch, Fazua, Mahle, Shimano and TQ HPR-50 motors that are known for their reliability and powerful performance. Look out for maximum torque and efficient energy conversion.
Battery
The range of your bike depends heavily on the battery capacity. Modern fullys are often equipped with batteries of up to 800 Wh - ideal for long tours. Make sure that the battery matches your requirements and is optimally integrated into the overall concept.
Suspension
A decisive difference to the hardtail is the fully integrated suspension. There are two main systems: air suspension and coil suspension. Air suspension is lighter and offers progressive damping, while steel spring shocks are valued for their linear characteristics and robustness. The correct adjustment of the suspension to your body weight and riding style is essential.
Brakes
Powerful hydraulic disc brakes are indispensable, especially off-road. They ensure reliable braking and therefore a high level of safety, even in wet or dirty conditions.
Frame and geometry
The frame geometry has a significant influence on the overall riding behaviour. A well-tuned frame ensures
- Comfortable seat
- Optimum control
- Agile handling
Frames made of aluminium or carbon each offer their own advantages in terms of weight, stability and flexibility. Aspects such as reach, steering angle and adjustable components play an important role.
Wheel sizes
The choice of wheel size is essential for riding behaviour:
- 27.5 inch: More manoeuvrability and fast acceleration, ideal for technically demanding terrain.
- 29 inch: Better ability to roll over obstacles and greater stability at high speeds.
- Mullet Setup (MX): Combination of 29 inch front and 27.5 inch rear for the best of both worlds.
You can find more information on the wheel sizes via internal links to the respective models.
Buying advice: How to find the right E-MTB Fully
When making your purchase decision, you should consider the following points in particular:
- Determine your main area of use: Should your bike be used primarily for long tours, technical trails or aggressive downhill descents?
- Take your height into account: The right frame and the right frame size ensure optimum riding comfort and safety.
- Test the riding experience: A test ride will help you to recognise whether the suspension, geometry and braking performance meet your needs.
- Get professional advice: In STATERA's specialist shops, a competent team is on hand to answer your individual questions.
Maintenance and care
Regular maintenance and care is essential to keep your E-MTB Fully in top condition:
- Check suspension: Clean suspension elements after intensive off-road riding and adhere to service intervals.
- Cleaning: Regularly remove dirt and residues to prevent premature wear.
- Battery care: Charge the battery regularly and avoid deep discharging to extend its service life.
- Service intervals: Have the bike checked regularly in the workshop to ensure that all components are working optimally.
Trends and developments
Technology in the field of E-MTB fullys is constantly evolving. Some of the most important trends are
- Integration of components: Seamless connection of electronics, motor and battery makes for a modern, sleek design.
- Lighter frames: The increased use of carbon and innovative aluminium alloys further reduces the overall weight.
- More efficient motors: New motors offer higher performance and improved energy conversion - more power even with lower battery capacity.
- Specialisation: Manufacturers are increasingly optimising their bikes for specific areas of use, be it trail, enduro or freeride.
FAQs
What is the difference between an E-MTB Fully and a hardtail?
An E-MTB fully has suspension on the front and rear axle, while a hardtail only has suspension at the front. This means that fullys offer significantly more comfort and control on uneven terrain.
Which wheel size is right for me?
The choice of wheel size depends on your riding style and the terrain conditions. While 27.5-inch wheels offer more manoeuvrability, 29-inch wheels offer better rollover capabilities.
How far can I get with an E-MTB Fully?
The range depends on the battery capacity, the motor power, the terrain and your riding style. Modern models often reach several 50 kilometres.
