This adult hardtail electric mountain bike comes in four different frame sizes (Small, Medium, Large and Extra Large) to accommodate riders between 5'1” and 6'5”. It comes in two colors – Aurora, a deep purple shade, and Borealis, an olive green shade.

Our pick for the best hardtail electric mountain bike under $3,000, the Ramblas costs just $2,899 MSRP. That price includes several key features, including a torque sensor that controls power delivery based on pedal force, a dropper seatpost, and a RockShox front fork with 130mm of travel.

The drivetrain consists of a SRAM 12-speed derailleur with three levels of pedal assist. Fat tires provide versatility and hydraulic disc brakes provide maximum stopping power whether you're cruising flowing singletrack or ripping through rocky terrain on an off-road enduro ride.
