The Norco Sight VLT 29 is arguably the best bang-for-your-buck E-bike in our Vital e-MTB test. This bike combines a carbon mainframe with an aluminum chainstay, features a quality spec, and has the most progressive geometry of the bunch.
If you're new to e-MTB, make sure you're riding on trails designated for e-bike use. Ask your local bike shop or advocacy group if you're unsure.
Our e-bike test was filmed in Boise and Idaho City, Idaho, using only off-road and motorcycle trails.

It rides lighter than the scale indicates. Compared to the Heckler, which shares the same Shimano motor and specs, just a bit of extra perceived effort was required on the climbs. The steep 78.7-degree effective seat tube angle puts you in a nice upright climbing position, which is awesome in big uphill scenarios. You're able to keep the front end down and charge to the top.
Pointed downhill, wide-open segments and sweeping corners are the Sight VLT’s forte. We hit 41.9mph on this bike, the fastest recorded speed, without feeling sketchy at all.
The integrated battery life also proved to be quite good. There is a 360Wh range extender for more adventurous riders, providing up to 990Wh. That's impressive and could be key for those looking to do some huge rides.
