The Etmo combines smart design and efficient engineering to create an electric mountain bike that delivers outstanding performance at a great price. With a strong, modern aluminium frame and three well-chosen builds, it's one of the best ways into eMTB riding, and the mid-range 500 Pro adds an upgraded build for riders who want a bit more performance from the Etmo frame.

It's built to inspire confidence and fun on every trail. A 65° head angle keeps it stable on fast or steep sections, while a steep 78.5° seat angle puts your weight forward for strong, controlled climbs. The 446mm chainstays add stability and predictability, keeping the bike planted when it matters while the back end still feels lively and flickable. Reviewing the Etmo 800, off-road.cc called it a capable, surprisingly lively and playful machine and excellent value for money.

The 500 Pro steps up to Bosch's hugely popular Performance Line CX Gen 5 motor, delivering up to 120Nm of torque and 750W of peak power following Bosch's free Performance Upgrade 2.0 software update, with superb ride feel and outstanding reliability. The 800Wh battery is easily removed if you want to carry a spare, and the system is compatible with Bosch's 250Wh PowerMore range extender, sold separately. SR Suntour Zeron 36X and Edge X suspension, SRAM DB4 4-piston brakes and a Shimano Cues 10-speed drivetrain complete the package.
