Bottom line
The Ecotric Tornado is a full-suspension e-mountain bike. It garners positive feedback from owners and reviewers for its “impressive” speed, hill-climbing, and comfort. The full-suspension frame is marketed for trail riding, but a tester feels the high weight and low-end suspension fork limit performance on technical sections. Further complaints include laggy pedal assist and poor ground clearance due to the kickstand. The Tornado’s entry-level pricing makes it a worthy consideration as a starter electric mountain bike for light trails or comfortable urban rides. But buyers wanting true full-suspension e-MTB performance should consider increasing their budget.Expert Reviews
