Put your bike
in the lab.
Mid-Drive Lab is where riders come to decide. If you make e-MTBs, motors, or the gear that goes with them, I'd love to ride it, score it, and tell people the truth about it.
Tell me what you'd like to send, and when. I reply to every brand.
You send the bike
A test bike, a demo, or a long-term loaner. Motors, batteries, and components are welcome too.
I ride it properly
Real trails, real climbs, real range. Not a parking-lot spin. Long-term bikes get updates as the miles add up.
It joins the lab
Your bike gets a full page, a spot in the comparison engine and charts, and a place in the bike-finder quiz — where riders get matched to the bike they should buy.
Honest, on the record
Every bike gets the same six scores. No paid placement, no sponsored rankings. That's why readers trust it, and why being recommended here means something.
What I'm looking for
New-for-2027 e-MTBs, especially the bikes on my radar: DJI Avinox builds, Bosch CX Gen 5 updates, and anything genuinely new in lightweight motors. Also helmets, pads, tires, and tools that matter more on an e-bike than a regular one.
Already on the list? Every bike page has a "long-term test pending" note. If you'd like yours to be the next one fully reviewed, just reply with the bike name.
