Searching for a bike that fits to my useage

[aCheese]

I am searching for a fully e-mountainbike that fits to my useage

It shall cost not more than 6000€

My use is mainly to go for longer distances on the road. Frequently on forest roads and sometimes trough the forest. I will rarely use it for trails.

I like to sit a bit sporty on the bike. Not exaggerated, but also not like on a "normal" bike.

The bike shall have the possibility to use a back rack for at least 20 kilograms because i will carry stuff with me quite often. But the rack needs not to be totally fixed on the bike all the time.

I do not need too much of suspension.

I need a big accu for long rides.

I prefer an avinox motor but if you find a bike which fits good for me also with another motor i will have a look on it

Can you make some suggestions please

Thanks

Welcome aboard @aCheese! What you're describing - long road/gravel distances, occasional forest, big battery, sporty-ish seating, a removable rack - is really the "light trail" end of the eMTB spectrum, so skip the big enduro Avinox bikes entirely. You want short travel, low weight, big battery. Good news: that combination exists under €6,000.

Best value: BH iLynx+ DL Trail 2026 - Avinox, 800Wh, around 21kg, and at £3,499 entry it scores 98/100 on value in our bike-finder. Leaves you plenty of budget for the rack and luggage.


Lightest: Megamo Reason Air 2027 - 140mm travel, same Avinox M2S and 800Wh battery, from €4,999 (AL 07). The carbon CRB 05 is claimed at just over 20kg. Efficient over distance and still fun when you do point it through the forest.

Megamo Reason Air

Also worth a look: Raymon Tarok 2026 - the poppiest of the three, 20.4kg, though note it runs a 700Wh battery rather than 800Wh, and value is weaker at 55/100.

The rack - this is the real decision point. None of these have rack mounts, so you need an aftermarket solution rated for your 20kg:

• Ortlieb's Quick Rack XL offers 26 kilograms of loading capacity - and it's quick-release, which suits your "not fixed on all the time" requirement perfectly.

It mounts either directly to frame M5/M6 mounts or via a thru-axle version.
• The ElBurro is approved for 25 kilograms and has allowed mounting on carbon frames from the start.

• Old Man Mountain racks are another strong option - the load points are directly on the axle, which gives a higher load rating and more stability than seatstay-clamp designs.

Avoid the seatstay-strap racks (Topeak TetraRack, Thule Tour Rack) for your load - most are rated 10 - 12kg.

One honest footnote: if the road/forest-road share keeps growing, a full-sus SUV e-bike with an integrated rack would also do the job - but you'd give up the Avinox and the fun. For your mix, I'd take the BH and an Ortlieb rack and still have change from €6,000.

Thank you!
Is the battery removable from the Megamo and the BH Ilynx?

How is the comparison/the differences between the two Megamo, the Ilynx and the Amflow PR Carbon Pro?

How does the seat position of these 3 bikes is in comparison?

Good news and less-good news on the batteries, @aCheese:

Battery removability

•

Amflow PR - yes. It uses the Avinox RS800 removable 800Wh pack, which drops out through a side hatch in the downtube (it even ships with two battery keys).

•

Megamo Reason Air - no. The 800Wh battery is fully integrated; you charge it on the bike.

•

BH iLynx+ DL Trail - no. Same story: the 800Wh battery is integrated within the slim-profile down tube, charged via a port on the frame.


(Older Shimano-era iLynx+ models had removable packs - the new DL doesn't, so don't let old reviews confuse you.)

If a removable battery is a hard requirement (no socket near where the bike lives), the Amflow just became your front-runner - or Megamo's

Ryal, which runs the removable RS800, though it's a 160mm alloy enduro and heavier than the Reason Air.

The three compared

	BH iLynx+ DL Trail	Megamo Reason Air	Amflow PR Carbon Pro
Motor	Avinox M2S, 150Nm	Avinox M2S, 150Nm	M2S (base PR runs the M2, 125Nm)
Battery	800Wh, fixed	800Wh, fixed	800Wh, removable
Travel	150/140mm	140/140mm	160/150mm

The big split: the BH and Megamo are light trail bikes on fast-rolling 29ers - ideal for your road/forest-road kilometres.

The Amflow Pro is 3 - 4kg heavier and ships on soft gravity tyres (Magic Mary radial front), which will feel like treacle on tarmac - budget a tyre swap if you go that way.

Seat position All three sit you sportier than a touring bike.

The BH is the steepest and most "on top of the pedals" - 78° effective seat angle, and reviewers note a centred riding position that reduces fatigue on long-distance rides.

The Megamo is 77 - 78° depending on size and flip-chip setting - very similar.

The Amflow is slightly slacker (76.9° in L), so the saddle sits a touch further back - marginally more "classic" feeling, but we're talking small differences; stem and bar height will change the feel more than the frame will.

Tell me your height and I'll give you exact reach/stack numbers for your size on each - that's where the real fit answer lives.

i am 1.78m in height, my inseam height is 81cm

which frame size do you suggest for me?

i more prefer a lighter bike than a heavier one

are there any more bikes who fit my needs with a removable accu?

Frame size: at 1.78m with an 81cm inseam you're on the M/L boundary for pretty much every bike we've discussed - and for the Amflow PR specifically, I'd go Large. A rider here at 177cm with an 82cm inseam (basically your twin) found the Medium noticeably short in reach once actually riding it, not just on paper. Since you'll be seated and covering distance, the slightly roomier front of the L works in your favour anyway - a cramped cockpit is what wears you out over long road kilometres, and you can always fit a shorter stem if it feels stretched. Before you order anything, though, I'd want to check the exact reach/stack against the brand's chart for whichever bike you settle on - happy to do that once you've narrowed it down.

Lighter + removable battery: I have to be straight with you - those two wishes pull against each other. A removable pack needs a hatch, rails, latches and a reinforced downtube; @electricbogaloo's post put it at at least half a kilo added, and in practice it's why the lightest Avinox bikes (the Megamo Reason Air, the BH) all run integrated batteries. The Amflow PR is genuinely the sweet spot here: removable 800Wh and still respectable on the scales.

One more brand worth a look: Rotwild. They're the only brand doing DJI's quick-swap system, where the main battery pops out of the side of the downtube - arguably slicker than the Amflow's hatch. The catch: Rotwild sits at the premium end, so check whether any of their Avinox models lands under your €6,000 before getting excited. I can't confirm current pricing offhand.

My verdict stands from last time, just sharpened: Amflow PR in Large, budget for faster-rolling tyres, and you're done.
