Duotts E29 vs Duotts E26: which electric MTB should you choose?
The E29 and E26 both use full suspension and Bafang assistance, yet they feel very different on the trail. The E29 is lighter, more agile and better over rough ground. The E26 adds stronger brakes, a larger battery and greater high-speed stability, but its weight is impossible to ignore.

Data and test results side by side
Differences found during testing
The E29 changes direction more readily and isolates the rider from rough ground more effectively. The E26 feels calmer at speed, but starts require more effort without the throttle and its rear shock is less convincing. Confirm the current road configuration of either bike before ordering.
