Recently updated, the electric mountain bike Nakamura E-Summit LTD is making waves in the entry-level electric bike market. Usually priced at €1,600, it is currently on promotion at Intersport, reducing its price to €999.99. This offer particularly attracts light hiking enthusiasts looking for a reliable model at a reduced price.
What is the Nakamura E-Summit LTD electric mountain bike worth?
Unlike other electric mountain bikes under €1,000, often equipped with hub motors and limited batteries, the Nakamura E-Summit LTD offers a central motor Naka E-Power One, more powerful and efficient. Paired with a 375 Wh battery, it provides a power output of 70 Nm of torque, ensuring smooth pedaling and better performance on rough terrain.
Far from being a simple basic model, this 2024 version of the E-Summit LTD stands out with a Shimano CUES LinkGlide 9-speed transmission, with a cassette offering a wide range (11-36T), optimized for electric bikes. On the braking side, Intersport relies on a Shimano MT200 kit, known for its reliability and efficiency. The magnesium fork with a travel of 120 mm, along with Hutchinson Python 2 tires mounted on 27.5” wheels, complete this ideal configuration for hiking, even on muddy terrain.
While this model does not claim to compete with high-end bikes, it stands out as an excellent choice for those who want to equip themselves with a performing electric mountain bike without exceeding €1,000. An opportunity not to be missed for electric two-wheeler enthusiasts.
