The Best Electric Mountain Bikes in Australia

Polygon Siskiu T7E

A full-suspension trail bike with a Shimano EP6 mid-drive and 630Wh battery at a price the big brands cannot touch. Check the availability note: NSW sales are paused pending Fair Trading registration.

Suits: Trail riders who want a proper full-suspension eMTB with a full-power Shimano motor from a brand sold direct in Australia.

Also consider: Giant Talon E+ 1 ($4,999), Liv Tempt E+ 1 ($4,999)

Polygon Australia's own store showed it out of stock, but Bicycles Online (Polygon's online retail partner) listed it as available in all sizes when checked (21 Oct 2026).

VelectriX Ascent 29

A genuine way onto the trails around $2,299. A hub-drive hardtail rather than a mid-drive, so temper the climbing expectations, but honest value to start out on.

Suits: Adult riders who want standard 29 inch rollover on fire trails and gravel without paying mid-drive money.

Also consider: Pedal Coyote 3 ($2,399), NCM M7 ($2,399)

Cube Reaction Hybrid Pro 600

A proper mid-drive hardtail with 85Nm and a 600Wh battery under $4,000. The sweet spot for a first serious eMTB that climbs properly.

Suits: Riders who want a capable trail hardtail for climbs and fire roads without stepping up to full suspension.

Also consider: Earth T-REX 29SP Hard Tail ($3,590), Earth T-REX 650B SP Hard Tail ($3,590)

Merida eOne-Sixty 400

A Shimano EP801 mid-drive with 85Nm and a 630Wh battery on a long-travel, road-legal 250W platform, for one of the lowest prices we list for a full-suspension enduro e-MTB.

Suits: The entry point into Merida's enduro eMTB range for riders who want 160mm travel without the carbon price tag.

Trade-off: The 630Wh battery is smaller than the packs on pricier enduro bikes, so big days need careful assist use, or a bike with a larger battery.

Also consider: Superior eXF 9019 B ($4,800), Avanti Montari-E Performance ($4,900)

Trek Rail+ 5 Gen 5

An 800Wh battery, quality Bosch mid-drive and the service network to back it. The buy-once option for serious enduro riding.

Suits: Riders who want a full-power enduro eMTB for big climbs and rowdy descents on a budget.

Also consider: Scott Patron 920 ($7,000), Cube Stereo Hybrid ONE77 HPC Race 800 ($6,999)

The 2025 Rail+ 5 is also still sold at $5,999.99 while stocks last.
