Read elsewhere that you're from a DH background. If you're looking for DH geometry/ability I wouldn't touch the Moterra (well not unless you're after DH geometry from 1996 )
Take a look at the Vitus E-Sommet VR. There's a huge thread in the "other manufacturers" forum.
The thing is an absolutely outstanding descender, great in the air, good pedaller great allround (even on tame stuff). Geometry to rival the best 170mm non-E Enduro bikes. Spec is incredible and with BC discount it's £3100ish.
There's practically no stock available right now but the 2019 models are very close to being available. no idea if pricing will be as good but I'd expect spec to be on par knowing the Vitus boys.
I suspect that all the ebikes will require a new technique to get the front up
Your bike doesn't have short chainstays.and the short stays seem to help its climbing ability
