Cube stereo hybrid 160 - 55lbs.
750kwh battery. Does ride like it too, but when I’m knackered from work, hurting or it’s really muddy it’s a game changer.

Scott Genius Eride 920. Weight - 52lbs

TBH i think some of these 1/2 fat riders are kidding themselves. eg, the rise h30 weighs 19kg for the top of the range and 20kg for the entry level, though i have seen people say their H30 is closer to 21kg. 21kg is 46lbs, so maybe 5 or 6lbs of a difference between mine and an entry level rise.

Ok 6lbs is 6lbs, but i personally dont feel thats such a great a difference that people use when claiming they're easier to lift over gates/stiles or chuck about the trail.

.

There I've said it 😮

S Works Turbo Levo.  Never weighed it.

Apart from the tyres it's probably built as light as it can get.

No problems lifting it over fences and styles and prefer it to our Levo SL

Rise M20 41 lbs and that’s 9-10 lbs lighter than the focus it replaced.  Very noticeable to me whether riding it or trying to lift it. Wouldn’t go back to something that weight.

Turbo Levo Gen 2 size Large, haven't a clue on the weight. It's heavier than my Evol but I'm not popping and jibbing that off everything either so it makes no difference. 😆

If I ride my Scott Genius eRide off a kerb the Pacific tsunami alerts get nervous.

I’ll weigh my Giant trance x 1 or something in a bit, but it’s heavy.

I’m intrigued about the weight of e-bikes though, as mine arguably rides better than the Ripmo - which is my other full suspension.

Whether this is down to the bike weight I don’t know. Some say that because the eeb is heavier, the suspension feels and works better. But, as I am 5x the weight of the eeb, shouldn’t I have a greater effect on suspension?

My general observations are the electric bike doesn’t feel heavy until I need to manually move it. That said, it does ride like a tanker in slow speed twisty wooded trails.

I had to go and weigh it to answer this thread and my own curiosity.

Its 24.28kgs with full mudguards and the coil shock I just added.

Orbea wild 52lbs.

Can't see the point of saving weight when there's PoWeR on tap. Motor torque and battery size make a more positive impact for me and the sort of riding I do on it.
