❓WHAT IS THE VITUS E-MYTHIQUE LT
This bike is the newest member of our award-winning performance aluminum eMTB range. Available in three spec options - VR, VRS, and VRX - it’s powered by a Bafang M510 drive unit custom tuned specifically for this bike. Like the award-winning Mythique, the E-Mythique LT encapsulates everything we stand for as a brand. It’s an exceptionally capable eMTB that punches well above its class, making high-performance bicycles more accessable to the masses. It’s a long travel (170mm/160mm) and mixed-wheel variation of the Mythique, the E-Mythique incorporates learnings from our current E-Sommet range to create an eMTB that is ready to ride everything that is expected of a modern enduro e-bike. Whether it’s steep technical climbs where the grip is low or after-work laps on a local downhill track, the E-Mythique LT has been tested and developed to deliver.

![The Hidden Costs Of Owning An E-Bike - What Is The Real Cost Of EMTB? [REVISITED]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/KT8jF7YyWR0/mqdefault.jpg)
I’m 65 and retired. Having pedaled analog bikes 60 of those years, riding an ebike isn’t cheating, it’s rewarding 😊 I live in Vermont up a 12% grade road and while I’m plenty capable of riding up my road on my analog bike, I don’t enjoy that and it decreases the amount of riding I do. Instead of transporting my bike to local mtb trails, I ride there, then ride twice as long as on my analog bike, and then I ride back home - ready for another ride later that same day. And for anyone that thinks you can’t get a proper workout, do your homework - look at the studies comparing analog/ebike physical fitness (surprisingly similar benefits). I have my power turned way down for workouts and then turned up to medium for pleasure rides and full power when I’m eventually gassed. Call me a cheater all you want, but I’ll be out riding with a smile all day long
Dont care what people think, ride your e bike enjoy it. Dont have to validate why you ride it, you want one you bought one you love it, i once had a rather fat man who could hardly walk and was struggling for breath ask me about my e bike, he called it a cheat bike, i looked him up and down and just rode off bare in mind im 72kg
I've rode analog bikes for over 10 years racing and pleasure, demo'd both light weight and full power specialised bikes and was blown away by the fun you can have. I ordered a trek rail a year after, " saved up" . Not looked back since, I ride rode races with road tyres and do over 50 miles and do 4000 ft of climbing, and do 30 + miles mainly off road and have tons of fun and workout. Use the power or eco it- it's your choice. It's not cheating it's more fun.
@@Extremegaz25rode a few e bikes high powered, derestricted, and you know something if i was ever going to buy another e bike it be the new levo SL fell in love with it on a test ride a few weeks ago, it just manuals for fun its as light as a carbon full sus i have and has more than enough power
To many mucho MAN here. Lol. I use my emtb for staying in shape but also having a lot of commuting fun. People don't know and don't realise that you have the option to work hard on a e bike and probably workout better. But yet i enjoy the hardcore comments.
Been riding my first ever e-bike (Trek Fuel exe ) for couple weeks now and it’s the best thing I’ve done it even makes the boring bits fun, as for being lazy definitely not you get out of it what you want I did a 30km loop with 800 meters of climbing compared to the same loop on my accoustic HT my heart rate was an average of 15 beats a minute more on my e-bike
You can use an ebike to enable you to do more of your current riding such as 5 loops of a trail rather than 3. BUT they are so much more, they are an enabler to bigger adventures and epic days out. Best advice I heard was "if you buy an eMTB go ride up a mountain" I live in south wales and at 66 years old I can still do 60Km rides with 2000m of climbing riding out in the Black Mountains and Brecons without feeling completely ****ed for a week after!! I ride a Vitus E-Sommet VRX and never regretted buying it. Going up is the new coming down 🙂and steep techie climbs become fun not an obstacle. PS... if I am heading to the trail park I usually take my hardtail MTB as I find it more fun on the downhill trails than the ebike. Don't always think of an eMTB as replacement to an MTB they offer up a realm of different capability. That is why there are the 2 sports of EWS and EWS-E, both involve super fit elite athletes but they test them in different ways.
I own an ebike, since december 2021, however in my region in Brazil we don't ride trails, mostly cross crountry. With an ebike I can ride with my friends, otherwise I styed behind, way behind, they had to wait for me all the time. I recently bought a normal mtb, just for fun, and I'm riding during the week, to train, and i can say, makes so much difference. I'm stronger now, because you need more power in the climbs, not so much rotation in the pedals. But I can't live anymore without my ebike!!!!
Due to asthma,an e bike is a game changer for me,im out enjoying it again in the forests and parks of wales 👍
Absolutly stunning ❤. Vitus is a legendary brand. I have a Sommet CRX enduro bike and I am getting the new E Sommet VRX. This bike is a steal.
Glad you like it Trailpimp! Hope you're good :-)
@@chainreactioncycles 🔥🤘🙌 Thank you so much
EMTB - Have you tried it yet? 👀⚡
Looks heavy and fun 👌
You certainly need 2 batteries, hired one @Bike Park Wales for the day (no uplift) and the 1st battery was done after 3 hours. Budget for this when buying as the batt will not last the day. Really enjoyed it, which surprised me. Cycled 40 miles on the mountain in the day and had a blast.
Was in chamonix a few weeks back and there was a huge amount of bikes about. Easily 80% of the bikes I saw out and about. Can really see the benifit of them on big full day trails 👍 still not converted tho 😂
Hello long shot for a reply but I have a 2020 vitus sommet and I was wondering what the two bolts were for on the seat tube thanks
Great video and promotional video, BUT!!!!
It's such a shame Wiggle and Chain Reaction have gone into Administration as I'd really love to buy one of these bikes. Will Vitus be looking for another supplier in the U.K.?😥
This looks like a fantastic bike, and great to see a brand that is bringing EMTB in at an affordable level.
There's a lot of focus on 15 - 20K super E-bikes these days in the press, that let's face it is beyond reality for most of us.
For all the EMTB hater on here, you need to tell all the athletes that compete in the UCI E-MTB World Cup and World Championships that they are all "just lazy and weak" .....
I'd be interested to hear how that goes.
It's all cycling, so what's to hate?
I have a number of bikes. The two I spend most of my riding time on are my Devinci Troy Carbon and my Focus Jam2 EMTB. The riding is about 50 / 50 on each. Both bikes are fabulous. I can ride the Troy when I want pure human power pedalling only, or the Focus when I want to increase the fun factor, or bomb about in my local woods for an hour at lunchtime - it's all good. I've been riding Mountain Bikes since 1988, so I've seen all the innovations over pretty much the entire history of the sport, and EMTB is great, and fun development for those who want it (everyone should give it a go). I can remember that there were purist BITD that thought suspension forks were an unwelcome development....!!!😂
I like e mtbs when the person I go riding with has them because I get a killer workout I might get one when I’m 80 😅
Will be be available to NZ and Aus customers, CRC doesn't allow purchase.
For a More Grotesque deal
Had an e- bike and got rid of it I would out ride the battery.
Which ebike, out of interest?
I agree,i have a 2023 cube stereo with a 750 wh battery,i have to carry a spare 250 wh battery as my rides are long!
Great but i ride about 4 hours it would run out of power
To much travel. 150/140 and I’d be on it
NX Rear mech...No thanks...Ha !
Definitely not
Maybe once I get 60
Why dfak you dont ship this bike to israel???
Yes, but no, because I'm broke
I'm currently able bodied, so no.
Exactly my thoughts. They're an absolutely great invention if you cannot use a regular bike for whatever reason. However, if you're able to propel yourself under your own steam then they are most definitely cheating and literally nothing will sway me on this.
Cheating what/who?
Wow you are badass.
Absolutely not
If I need a walker to get around, then I will consider an eMTB. Probably just stick to the road riding at that point.
ha, ha, ha, or you can use the gondola to climb to the top. to me biking is staying in shape, I mean you can try motorcross if you want power!
You can't stay in shape by using an ebike?
@@chainreactioncycles emtbs are fun but so are normal mtbs. I had a Vitus E-Sommet about 4 years ago and increased my strength lifting it over all the fences but reduced my cycle leg strength substantially, so sold it.
At present I've got a Cotic HT and a Nukeproof Mega 290 (plus 2 roadies).
I'm nearly 61 but will get another emtb when I'm in my 70s... maybe.
What a dumb comment you get the same amount of exercise, you just get to travel 2 times the distance.
@@chainreactioncycles 😀 definitely better than a couch& TV😂
E-bike.....NEVER
Never say never!
When I'm 75 I might think about getting an electric bike, but not until then. They Do NOT belong on ANY single track MTB trail. Just lazy and weak! Great for going to work, or getting some groceries, or on some urban gravel and paved trails however; but please stay off MTB trails!
They're perfect for singletrack MTB trails - especially when you can keep lapping them :-)
