The US manufacturer is taking its first steps into the e-mountainbike market with two hardtails. The "Tramount 29er 1" naturally comes with large wheels, a Bosch motor provides pedal assistance and the Lefty fork with 100 millimetres of travel ensures a shock-absorbing yet stiff front end. Shifting is possible with a complete XT groupset.

The "Tramount 29er 2" has to make do with a Deore groupset and the fork comes with a Gold TK 29er from Rock Shox. Both models should be available for the first time in February or March 2014. To give the e-hardtails versatility, both models are equipped with mudguard, pannier rack and kickstand mounts. To ensure a sleek appearance, all cables are routed internally in the frame.
