Where on earth do you see 12v? It's 36v
any deals on dual suspension e-mountain bikes?
Buy two…
NGL but that spec is le crap. Maybe a $600 bike with $750 in electric parts. The shocks and brakes are pretty dire.
The RRP is purely fictional.
What do you recommend in this price range (or less)
Anything but this
Spend another $500 and get a proper brand with a shimano drive. Reliability and performance is second to none
A few few hundred more can get this ($2,289)

Strange question. They are completely different bikes.
Do you want to ride dirt trails, or a city bike?
If you are not regularly riding off-raod, get the NCM. Heavier and smaller gear range, but belt drive means less maintenance. Rack, lights etc are good. It is a "comfort" bike, rather than sporty like the above.
The op's bike isnt for off road…
Are you just being snobbish that it isn't as good as your Trek? Sure looks like an e-MTB to me. Not downhill racing, but good for singletrack.
I got this bike, returned it and upgraded to a cube the Bafang drivetrain sucked, 30 day ride guarantee with 99 bikes is awesome, but once you start down the e-bike path it gets expensive as you upgrade…
Responsiveness of the cube kicking the power in is sooooo much better! Try it
The settings are likely locked on this, but with the Bafang 600c controller it can be unlocked to adjust speed limits, number of levels etc. They cost about $75.
That said, I reckon you could find a much better deal than this bike.
The latest model with bigger battery, upgraded brakes and running gear is +$750.
Midway is the Reid E-Trail 2 for $2500.
Please post your finds for similar value bikes in the 2K price point.
The 27.5" version is $1299 + shipping here
