A mountain bike portfolio without motorized bikes? It's long since unthinkable - and so Stöckli and Wheeler are showing brand new rolling stock that is electrified.

Lots of torque, lots of system integration with the battery
"If you're looking for a no-frills, sporty e-mountainbike, the E-Eagle is just right for you," says Martin Birrer, Product Manager for Wheeler. Thanks to its lightweight frame made of hydroformed aluminum tubes and 29-inch wheels, this hardtail offers the best basis for fast off-road rides.

The D-Series drive from BionX provides a remarkable amount of torque even at low speeds. Together with the 30 gears of the Shimano drivetrain, this makes it much easier to make progress off-road. The Marvel Comp suspension fork from Manitou provides 100 millimetres of suspension travel for more comfort and control. Thru axles at the front and rear ensure that the chassis is stiff and shines with precise steering behavior. The MT4e disc brakes from Magura, which have been specially developed for use on e-bikes, ensure appropriate deceleration.

It's not just the extensive rear wheel motor that catches the eye on the E-Eagle, the battery is also new for the 2016 model year. This forms an even stronger unit with the down tube and offers an unusually harmonious overall appearance for batteries.

Stöckli married to Brose
The Wolhusen-based bike manufacturer Stöckli is ushering in a new motor era: the fully eSphen is equipped with a Brose motor. This bolide is not stingy with power, the drive delivers up to 90 Nm of torque. To ensure good control and traction at all times, the new addition to the portfolio has 140 millimetres of travel and ensures this in the eSphen Evo version with a Rock Shox Sektor Gold fork and a Monarch RL damper from the same company. The eSphen Pro version features a fork and shock from Fox, which keep the 27.5-inch wheels in check.

For more moderate tours over hill and dale, Stöckli recommends the new eBeryll model. This hardtail rides on 29-inch wheels with a Shimano Steps drive and is available in a Pro and an Elite version, which have different specifications and weigh between 18.6 and 19.4 kg. This respectable value for an e-hardtail is also achieved by the fact that the Shimano system is one of the lightest on the market at 3.2kg.
