Quality entry level mountainbikes like this Specialized Rockhopper are excellent bikes to make electric. Featuring a durable aluminium alloy frame, 100mm suspension fork, hydraulic disc brakes and a reliable shimano drivetrain,  the Rockhopper can take whatever you throw at it- be it out on the trail or on the daily commute.

We’ve fitted it with a rear wheel mini motor kit running an upgraded 500 Watt controller paired to our lightweight Panasonic 11.6Ah Tube battery to give outstanding performance out to a range of around 30kms. This one will probably see mostly commuting use, but with a rear- drive setup, it’ll comfortably handle heritage trails and varied terrain- ideal for longer  weekend adventures!
