Trek Rail, but then I would say that because thats what wife and I have.

Edit: since January 2022 when they were purchased over 2,500 miles on my Rail and 1,000 miles on my wife's with absolutely no issues.

Well the world is your oyster. Take your pick.

How big do you want to go in travel?

My mates go well on theor trek rails. One is stock at 150/160mm the other has increased the travel to 160/170mm.

I have a blast on my 190mm voima. Really you can go wild in this category. Go test some bikes and formulate an opinion. So what travel you like and what motor appeals to you.

Currently Bosch seems to have to edge in immediate grunt. Bros power output is a bit smoother as is Shimano.

Thanks. The thing which significantly reduces the number of options is the removable battery criteria. Any suggestions other than Trek rail? Thanks

Focus Jam or Sam depending on use and how much travel you like. Still some bargains around as they have just released new models, older models have a Bosch system with a 625 battery. Again have one (Sam 6.9) so a bit one sided but in nearly 2 years and over 3000km, no dramas with it what so ever

Cube is another option with the Bosch CX motor - Stereo Hybrid 140 or 160.

I picked up a 2023 Mondraker Chaser, Bosch, 625wh removable battery, 29er, 150/160 travel from Winstankeys for £2700. Wallop!!

Lapierre's Overvolt GLP 3 ticks all your boxes.

If you're patient a new model including SRAM Transmission, Reverb AXS & 800Wh battery will be out soon

If you're tighter on budget, have a look at Haibike's Nduro range.

As others have stated: try and test out different models of you can.

Specialized Levo/Kenevo have easily removable batteries.

Pole Voima. I dig mine, it does everything great!

Personal experience from me and many others on here says steer away from anything Shimano motored... Just my personal take on it, do some searching on here and you'll find it's the only motor that is pretty much a throw away design with no support from the factory with parts or knowledge. Very disappointing.
