About the build

It's almost a full Balanced drivetrain — only the cassette steps down to Core. The biggest component contrast is between the motor and the suspension — Performance- vs. Basic-tier. Judged purely on component level, this is priced above average for an e-MTB — which says nothing about geometry, fit or how it rides. Geometry isn't published in a format we can verify.

Worth knowing
  • 2,3" tyres
  • 100 Nm and 800 Wh — moderate power and range for an e-MTB

Manufacturer's description

Trail meets town with the Moterra EQ. Outfitted with racks, fenders, and lights, this SmartForm C1 Alloy-framed eMTB handles both errands and off-road escapes with ease. A Bosch CX motor and 800Wh battery provide ample power and more than enough range, while the 150/130mm travel Suntour suspension smooths out the ride. Shimano CUES U6000 shifting and Tektro Gemini SL 4-piston brakes add confidence, and Schwalbe Johnny Watts tires bring grip for every surface, on road or off. Utility meets capability in one stylish, comfortable, package.
