They don't say much on their website about the motor etc that is used. The picture looks like a Bafang, and if that is the case, you can just as well fit a Bafang kit to a bike of your choice.

So I would ask for a full spec from them, both of the electrical side and the base bike, as £1699 is a fair chunk of money, but not much for a full suspension eMTB. It may be a fine bike or a set of cheap parts with a Bafang thrown on.

Yes - it's Bafang drive.
Looks quite a good deal to me - I might be tempted but I already have two bikes!

The specification is all branded kit but bottom of the range, Although it's got hydraulic disc brakes and a second-from-bottom of the range Shimano Altus transmission.

The Suntour XCT fork is acceptable, it's an air fork so better than a basic spring one, likewise the shock.

TBH it looks alright for the price, although it's close to the £1899 cost of a Cube Hardtail with Bosch Gen 4 motor and integrated battery.
