I’d like to start looking for an e-bike. The primary goal is something off-road capable. I’m thinking simple trails and sand.

The next goal would be portable: if it can break down a little bit so that I could get two inside my small SUV instead of on a bike rack that would be ideal.

Edit: for those stating to look at my local bike shop, the closest is 1.5 hrs away and is Trek-only. There are a few other dealers also around 1.hrs away.

    I second the suggestion about hitting up your local bike shops: They usually let you do test rides so you can see if you like it before making a decision. They should also be able to guide you towards the right kind of bike.

    On paper, a folding fatbike could fit the bill, but in practice, the folding feature can be kind of useless. A Tern Vektron is probably the closet quality bike I can think of but it’s not really a mountain bike at all.
