Yes. By 2026, e-MTBs had become the fastest-growing category in the electric bike market. Electric assistance democratises access to challenging trails, allows cyclists of different abilities to ride together, and significantly increases the range of mountain exploration. With government incentives of up to €750 in Portugal and Cetelem financing available, the initial investment is more affordable than ever. Beeq offers one e-MTB option.

Beeq offers one e-MTB:

• M850 Wild Full Suspension – aluminium full-suspension bike, for experienced riders on technical trails

Full suspension means that the bike has suspension on the front fork and a rear shock absorber. The three key benefits on an e-MTB are:

• Better traction: the rear wheel maintains contact with the ground on uneven terrain
• Greater control: improved stability on technical descents, over rocks and roots
• Greater comfort: shock absorption reduces rider fatigue on long rides
• It is the preferred system for enduro, all-mountain and technical trails. For MTB beginners, the M700 Wild (hardtail) is an excellent entry-level bike before progressing to full suspension.

Technically, it is possible, but e-MTBs have been optimised for off-road use, not for tarmac. The wide-section tyres and off-road geometry create greater rolling resistance on the road, making urban use less efficient. For truly mixed use (city + countryside + some off-road), the M700 Wild ATB or the E900 Crossover from the Touring range are technically more balanced options.
