Help deciding on an e-MTB upgrade

[JLammy]

I'm currently looking for a new e-mtb. I currently ride a CUBE Reaction Hybrid Race 500 2019, and I've been looking for a full suspension upgrade.

I'm currently looking at these two:

SPECIALIZED Turbo Levo Expert Carbon 2020:

TREK Rail 9.8:
https://trekbikes.com/gb/en_GB/bikes/mountain-bikes/electric-mountain-bikes/rail/rail-9-8/p/30694/

Are there any other e-bikes I should look at within this price-range? And what are your thoughts on these two?

I have had the same dilemma last month and pull the trigger on the Levo.

I think both are great bikes, the Levo has a better motor, in my opinion, and I’m used to specialized bikes, so I choose Levo instead of Rail.

Both great bikes with killer backup support if or when something goes wrong.

I´m thinking on upgrading my Cube for a ... Cube.
Good service from strong local dealer is a key point. Also like Spezz and Trek

Some good deals around on 2019 Levo Carbon ?

TBH buy what ever your Le-BS (Local ebike shop) supplies for the win. Though as per STW, I still say find a 2019 Levo with a 700wH battery upgrade from a LBS
