    SAMEBIKE LO26-II: folding, four-link rear, 75 Nm

    The rear end uses a four-link layout with a mid-mounted shock and a mechanical lock.

    Check price on AmazonAffiliate link

A full suspension e-MTB has a shock at the back as well as a fork at the front, so the rear wheel can follow roots and rocks instead of bouncing off them. That means more grip on climbs, more control on descents and a less punishing ride on long days. It also adds weight and moving parts, so the choice is worth making carefully. The facts that matter are motor torque, which governs how hard the bike pulls on steep ground, battery capacity in watt hours for range, suspension travel, and the total weight you will have to lift and steer. This guide compares five dual suspension e-bikes with 250 W motors, from a carbon trail bike to budget folding and fat tyre models. All figures come from the listings, and most of them do not state suspension travel, so we flag that where it is missing.
