Is it for you?
Best suited to
Enduro riders who want a full-power Bosch CX platform with a big 800Wh battery and 160mm of rear travel, at the value end of the alloy enduro eMTB market.
Standout strength
A Bosch Performance Line CX Gen 5 motor with 120Nm and an 800Wh battery on an alloy enduro frame with 160mm of rear travel.
The main compromise
Alloy frame and mid-tier suspension keep the price down; Marin does not publish a claimed range or bike weight.
Consider something else if
You ride mostly sealed paths and do not need a long-travel enduro chassis, or you want a lighter trail bike.
Check before you buy

What is the range of the Marin Alpine Trail E1?
