Can an E-Bike really replace a mountain bike? In this video, we head to the DIMB-BikePark-Rureifel in Hürtgenwald, Germany, to put our E-MTB to the test on proper bikepark trails. From technical MTB descents to jump lines, we wanted to see if an electric mountain bike can handle what a regular downhill / enduro bike does — or maybe even more.
We’re riding everything this German bikepark has to offer and giving our honest thoughts on how the E-bike performs. Whether you’re into mountain biking, enduro, downhill, bikeparks or just curious about eMTBs, this ride might change how you look at e-bikes forever.
👉 Let us know in the comments — can e-bikes really do it all?

E-bikes: Yes or No?
Always beautiful there 🤗👌
The bikepark looks amazing with all these yellow flowers!
For this bikepark I would say yes to the e-bikes. The climb is pretty steep. You can do the asphalt climb which is less steep but it also takes more time. With our manual bikes we did a few full down laps, but ended with just doing the top jumps on repeat.
if you are a slow youtuber then i must be a crawling baby goin uphil on a double black lol
i have an giant reign, like the grey one… and well it rides different when battery is out
It was a nice day 🤟
How do you guys corner that fast?
These shocks famous for blowing up. You should visit bikepark Groningen! (One of) The best in the Netherlands! 🙂
I get it why e-mtb´s are more and more popular, but i dont want things on my Bike that must be charged (battery for the bike, gearbox or dropper post). I like the simplicity that i can just grab my bike and go out. But when someone overtakes me on the climb i often think: man that must be nice to get more laps in and don´t get exhaustet after 3 or 4 rounds.
Hey guys great riding as always, do you overshoot more on your reign? I find it jumps farther than my propain. i was also wondering about your contols, one of you has the same ridecontrol 3 buttons, small, discreet like mine(white bike) the other has these ugly huge buttons, is that an older model? I went through a set of brake pads and rear tire in 1200km, let me know your degradation.
Boas !!
Which ebikes do u ride ?
Cheerz
Hey guys, nice video (as always) and i wanted to ask if you have any tips, because i wanted to start posting my riding too
hey cool, you're back in Simonskall again! I love going there, isn't that the coolest place closest to the Netherlands. So cool to see you guys clear the big jumps, to see what's possible. Amazing how you fly over the big step-up/table-thing after the sharkfin on the blue/red. I just sadly land on top of it 🙂 See you guys there sometimes!
nice park, good riding boyz. Curious, how do you like the Reign?
Winterberg?
emtb are fun machines, specially in places like this bikepark, hoppenbruch, haniel etc.. where there is no lift to go up. its double the fun!! in performance I kinda like the stable feeling of the bike in the air (jumping) imho. BTW get rid of the Fox shock… they suck 😉
zou je mijn droom mtb kunnen maken? je kan het gebruiken voor een video en het budget zou rond de 1700 zijn het mag 2de hands zijn nieuw zijn laat iets weten!
