About the System

 

 

 

I love the way my GT eVerb full-suspension e-MTB rides. Its a great all-round bike, that can even handle steep and rough trails. I have tried out many different e-bikes in the past years, I really like the way the STEPS E8000 motor feels, its a very natural support that feels like riding my regular mountain bike with lots of extra help (power). I also like the many option for individual setup the Shimano system offers.
