E-Revox

e-mtb2399–4500 EUR

Origin

2019. The E-Revox was born out of the e-MTB boom and shares its platform with the acoustic Revox hardtail. Bergamont positioned it as an accessible entry point into electric trail riding — Bosch-powered, with a wide model range from entry commuter-eMTB to proper trail machine.

Specifications

Frame: AL-6061 aluminum across the entire E-Revox range (no carbon e-hardtail); integrated PowerTube downtube battery, internal routing.
Weight: kg
Drivetrain: 1× Shimano (Deore/Cues class) by trim — typically 1×10/1×12.
Brakes: Hydraulic disc, 180/180 mm (Shimano/Tektro by trim).
Wheels: 29" across all variants; alloy, tubeless-ready, Boost spacing.

The verdict

+Strengths

Bosch CX (85Nm) on Sport/Pro/Expert tiers — one of the best-rated motors in e-MTB for natural feel and power delivery
Bosch PowerTube IS removable — apartment-friendly unlike some integrated competitors
Good weight for class (E-Revox 4 at ~22.5kg is lighter than many beginner e-MTBs)
Balanced geometry praised — head tube angle and reach 'chosen with care', low BB pulls centre of gravity down for better cornering
EQ variants are road-legal and practical for all-year Baltic use (lights, fenders, kickstand)
Bosch Smart System ecosystem: eBike Flow app, wide dealer service network across Europe

−Weaknesses

SR Suntour fork on all variants (including top Expert) — limits technical descending capability, especially for heavier riders
Entry Bosch Performance Line (63Nm) reviewed as 'somewhat weak' at steep sections — requires more rider initiative
Brakes on entry/mid models (Shimano MT200) rated as poor for heavy/technical use
No RockShox or Fox fork option anywhere in the range — a gap vs. Cube Reaction Hybrid, Trek Powerfly, Specialized Turbo Levo Hardtail
FS 150 Expert exists but uses Marzocchi Bomber Z2 + budget SRAM NX/SX — mid-tier full-sus feels underspecced at the price
100mm travel on older variants (now updated to 120mm) was limiting for trail riding

Did you know

01The E-Revox range includes an FS 150 (full suspension) variant despite being branded 'E-Revox' — not a separate model name. This creates naming confusion: there are hardtail and full-sus bikes under the same E-Revox umbrella.
02EQ variants come with a Litemove LED lighting system — a lightweight, integrated bike lighting brand — instead of the heavier Bosch lighting. Practical for year-round commuters.
03The Bosch PowerTube battery is REMOVABLE even when 'frame-integrated' — a critical distinction vs. bikes with non-removable batteries (like E-Grandurance). This matters enormously for apartment dwellers who cannot charge the bike in a basement or street.
04E-Revox sizing 'runs small' according to independent test (emtb-test.com) — buyers should size up compared to acoustic Revox.
05The E-Revox 4 (entry, 63Nm motor) was tested at 22.5 kg — lighter than many beginner e-MTBs, rated positively for value.
