Purchasing an electric bike, or even a traditional bike, typically requires you to make quite a few decisions. Things like what color you want, what frame size, your purpose for the electric bike, and frame type are all things to consider. While these are all based mainly on personal preference, one tough choice is whether you want a hardtail or a full-suspension electric bike.To get more news about full suspension electric mountain bike for sale, you can visit magicyclebike.com official website.

If you're wondering what the difference between a hardtail and a full-suspension electric bike is, we're here to help! For now, we’ll give you the easy answer and then dive into the details a bit later. Hardtail bikes have only a suspension front fork, and the frame is rigid. Meanwhile, a full-suspension bike has both the front fork suspension and a rear suspension, and the frame is two separate pieces.

As we mentioned, deciding between the two comes down to personal preference and preferred riding style. Our goal at Bakcou is to give you the information you need to make the right decision. In this blog, we're explaining the differences between a hardtail bike and a full-suspension electric bike. We're also giving a breakdown of the pros and cons of each. From there, we hope you feel more confident in deciding on purchasing your new Bakcou electric bike.

HARDTAIL BIKES
Let’s start with hardtail electric bike frames. Hardtail electric bikes are what most leisurely bicyclists are most familiar with, as they are a bit more popular in the bike market. As previously mentioned, Hardtail bikes have only the front fork suspension and a completely rigid frame. Front fork resistance is provided by metal coils or compressed air. On a hardtail bike, the bumps and vibrations can only be absorbed by the suspension fork. The suspension fork can help improve the rider’s handling and steering while out on rougher trails. Hardtail bikes are often a popular choice for cross country riding, trail riding, and bikepacking and are the top choice for those who enjoy riding at a more leisurely level. At Bakcou, the Mule, our hardtail electric bike with a mid-drive motor, continues to be our number one selling eBike.

PROS
The frame of a hardtail electric bike is rigid, meaning it is one single piece. A hardtail frame is typically lighter than its full-suspension electric bike counterpart. This makes it a better choice for long-distance riders or those who climb high elevations often. Efficiency is increased on a hardtail because the rigid frame transfers power from the pedals to the rear wheel. The lighter weight means riders expend less energy to accelerate and maintain speed. On a hardtail, there is no pedal bob. As a result, more energy will drive the bike forward when pedaling. Both of these will increase the bike's efficiency. On a hardtail, riders won't lose energy compressing the rear suspension. As a result, a hardtail has a faster ride when climbing or navigating easy terrain.

Another important aspect is the design, mechanics, and durability of a hardtail bike. The design of a hardtail allows it to have a front derailleur in addition to the rear derailleur. This gives you more gearing options during your ride. We’ve already discussed in length the rigid frame design of the hardtail bike. This ties into the increased durability of a hardtail. A hardtail bike can withstand much harder impacts with little to no damage than its full-suspension counterpart can. On a hardtail, all of the tubes are welded together and there are no fragile linkages or pivot points. When it comes to the mechanics of a hardtail bike, they are much easier to repair and require less frequent maintenance. Easier maintenance and higher durability are important. It allows you to spend less time fixing your bike and more time getting out and riding the trails. All riders can agree that more time on the bike is the ultimate goal.

Good for Beginners
Hardtail bikes are the go-to bike for beginners for a multitude of reasons. First, hardtail bikes allow you to feel more connected to the trail because they provide more feedback. They also force riders to learn proper mountain biking techniques. Being forced to learn correct techniques can only benefit riders in the long run. The skills learned on a hardtail are transferable to a full suspension and contribute to being a better rider.

Compared to a full-suspension bike, a hardtail is more versatile and is more suitable for several riding types. In addition to their versatility, hardtail bikes are less expensive than full-suspension bikes. They are typically about $800-$1000 cheaper.
