Hi all, how to decide which E mtb in au

[CjP]

Thanks everyone. All the advice helped. Bought a Giant Reign E 0 Pro yesterday. Two days of riding many isolated trails . Charges uphill and downhill fast. Easy to flick around single trails through forests. Corners really well. Rock strewn paths no problems. Climbs well. Love the electronic gear shifts and dropper post. Bit heavy on jumps/ wheelies, but who cares.
Best advice after two weeks of reading hundreds of reviews, pouring over hundreds of specs ( 427 chain length or 420 - who cares if your not a pro) testing 4 bikes with different motors/ suspension / wheel size is to buy a bike at a good local dealer. Hope there is a factory discount and make sure you buy the most expensive current model bike you can. You get what you pay for. All bikes in Aust are good. Go and do it ( ps, my state still allows mtbing in national parks during COVID19)
.

Great looking bike and I’m sure it would handle like a beast! Get some photos up of it when you get a chance!

Have you got many rides on the giant?
Do they have the range extender battery in Oz?
Any pics?
