BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.
We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.
It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.
If you find a lower price, email us at [email protected] with documentation of the price. We’re committed to making sure that the cost of a bike does not keep you from cycling!

13 reasons to buy
- The Moterra LT comes in two builds: the Carbon 2 and the higher-end Carbon 1.
- Testers credit the mullet wheels and geometry for creating a stable and comfortable ride.
- The Bosch Performance Line CX motor impresses experts with its smooth power and speed.
- Experts appreciate how the balanced riding position inspires confidence on descents and smooth climbs.
- Testers find that the Moterra LT’s low center of gravity improves handling.
- Experts praise the supple initial touch and overall support and composure of the Moterra LT’s rear end.
- Torque caps on the front axle improve front-end stiffness.
- Testers laud the traction provided by the 2.6” Maxxis tires and well-tuned rear suspension.
- In a max pedal assist range test, a reviewer covers 29.8 miles with 5,479 feet of elevation gain.

- Reviewers value the inclusion of a skid plate, mudguards, and rubber frame protectors.
- An expert finds the Cannondale DownLow dropper seatpost is smooth and easy to use.

7 reasons not to buy
- All expert testers say the Moterra LT’s high weight negatively impacts handling, and the long rear end reduces agility.
- A reviewer feels the kickstand mount and keyed battery are unnecessary on a true enduro bike.
- The cables route through the angled stem, so swapping stems or changing stem height is complicated.
- An expert says the RockShox Zeb Select fork’s primitive damper (Carbon 2) means it lacks control on big hits.
- The Moterra LT’s weight, high bottom bracket, and long chainstays limit its maneuverability in technical terrain and tight turns.
- Testers note that fine-tuning the coil rear shock or changing the spring is more complicated than with air shocks.
- Some reviewers find the display controls bulky and overly complicated.
Bottom line
The Cannondale Moterra LT is a Bosch-equipped electric enduro bike with 170mm front and 165mm rear travel. It comes in two builds, Carbon 1 and Carbon 2. The front triangle is carbon, but the rear swingarm is alloy. The Moterra LT earns praise for its comfortable, stable ride, long battery range, well-tuned suspension, and impressive all-round performance. However, the high weight and geometry limit its capabilities in technical terrain. Other complaints include the Carbon 2’s low-end suspension fork, tricky stem swapping and adjustment, and unnecessarily complicated controls. The Moterra LT isn’t the agile e-MTB Cannondale claims, but its stability on rough terrain will appeal to many, though it’s expensive.Expert Reviews
