@Suddabym - welcome to the forum. I'll be straight with you: the Crazybird Jumper isn't really what we talk about around here. This is an eMTB forum. The Jumper is

a fat tyre ebike with 26" × 4" tyres and a 750W peak brushless rear hub motor, sold primarily for casual riding and commuting. The sustained motor is actually a 250W Bafang rear hub, with 750W being the peak figure

- which is standard budget ebike marketing. It comes with 60mm of front suspension, which is about a quarter of what a proper trail eMTB runs. There's no rear suspension at all.

If you're after something for canal paths, light off-road, or general pootling about, it might well do the job. The reviews are broadly fine for that use case. But if you came here because you want to ride actual mountain bike trails, this isn't the bike. You'd be better served looking at something with a mid-drive motor (Bosch, Shimano EP8, Fazua) and proper travel.

What are you actually planning to ride? That'll determine whether you're in the right place entirely.

Ok no worries
