IS ELECTRIC MTB A SPORT?
- You have to pedal to go forward!
- Electric assistance gives you up to 320% more pedalling power to get through obstacles, enjoy your mountain bike rides for longer, and help slower riders keep up in a group.
- The motor stops its electrical assistance when you stop pedalling.
- The walking mode compensates for the weight of the bike when you need to put your feet down.
Which is the right size?
- Several sizes available:
- S: between 1.50m and 1.64m / 21.9kg
- M: between 1.65m and 1.74m / 22.1kg
- L: between 1.75 m and 1.84m / 22.2kg
- If you are on the limit between 2 sizes:
- Choose the smaller size for easier steering (easier to handle).
- Choose the larger size for easier pedalling and comfort (straighter back).
A word from the team
- Our team of mountain bike enthusiasts created this E-ST 900 electric mountain bike at our B'Twin Village in Lille, France.
- We designed and tested the E-ST 900 MTB by involving MTB riders at every stage of the project.
A FRAME FOR STURDINESS AND FUN
- The frame of the Rockrider E-ST900 electric MTB is made of 6061 aluminium with hydroformed tubes. Why? The battery sits snugly on the frame to improve the robustness of this electric mountain bike.
- The forged aluminium parts make it compatible with the new 27.5"+ tyre format (wider than the 27.5") in the rear, while remaining easy to manoeuvre. We've kept a frame geometry with short bases for easier steering.
MOTOR WITH 70NM TORQUE
- The BROSE T Aluminium central motor is specially designed for mountain biking:
- - 70 Nm torque to handle large obstacles and steep gradients
- - metal housing for maximum durability
- - belt for an ultra-quiet motor
- - sealed bearings to hold up to tough environments while mountain biking
A BATTERY WITH SAMSUNG CELLS

- Our battery supplier sources its minerals responsibly and sustainably, and is part of the "Responsible Minerals Initiative".
A battery that's easy to lock
- Our Rockrider mountain bike team has designed a battery that locks in place with a simple lever. Child's play!
- This locking system prevents the battery vibrating when riding on rough terrain.
- There is also a lock in case you want to stop your battery getting stolen. For example, if you park your bike in the street.
A simple, ergonomic control screen
- A discreet LCD control screen. The screen is right next to your left grip so you don't have to let go of the handlebar to choose from the 4 assistance modes available: Deactivated, Economy, Standard, and Boost.
- You'll also find a host of useful information:
- Assistance level
- Battery level
- Speed (current, average, maximum)
- Remaining battery life
- Distance covered (total and trip)
4 assistance modes for any situation
- Mode 0 - Deactivated
- The battery is not used.
- Mode 1 - Economy +40%:
- Extend your rides while conserving battery life. Ideal when you want a little push on small gradients.
- Mode 2 - Economy +80%:
- Gain power. A perfect helping hand for keeping up with other mountain bikers.
- Mode 3 - Standard +160%:
- This is the most versatile mode. Climb any slope without getting too tired and without using too much power.

ROCKSHOX FRONT SUSPENSION TO MAINTAIN CONTROL AND ABSORB BUMPS FROM ROUGH TERRAIN

HUTCHINSON TYRES
So you feel safe on any terrain, and to provide traction suited to your motor, the E-ST900 mountain bike is equipped with Hutchinson Taipan Koloss 27.5+ tyres with a 2.8" cross-section. Our test riders particularly liked these tyres for their grip on the ground. Mounted on wide rims, these tyres provide great grip, traction, and comfort on any terrain.

ERGONOMIC WOMEN'S SADDLE: COMFORTABLE AND SPORTY SEAT

PLATFORM PEDALS
The bike comes with 520 Grip MTB platform pedals (ref. 8487130) with a wider pedalling surface and more pronounced dots for better grip on the pedal.However, if you are looking for improved performance when pedalling and better control of the bike when cycling, we recommend replacing them with clipless pedals with platforms or wide aluminium platform pedals.
