According to Thomus, this is the lightest-weight electric mountain bike that does not compromise on suspension. The bike features a full-size fork suspension, available in a number of different options depending on the customers' preferred brands. The suspension is available from [Marzocchi](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ariel-50e), [DT Swiss](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eone-sixty), and Fox. The weight of the fully-configured Lightrider E Ultimate is only 32 pounds, meaning it can be easily carried short distances by most riders. Additionally, the bike still features 29" wheels and a number of sizes, making it compatible with nearly every rider. In terms of the specifications of the bike, the Lightrider E Ultimate features a top speed of 15.5 miles per hour, delivered from either a 250Wh, 360Wh, or 426Wh battery, based on the chosen configuration. The range of the bike will vary greatly based on the selected battery.
