Vitus, the French bicycle brand known since the 1970s, has introduced a new electric mountain bike, the E-Mythique LT. This version stands out with “LT” for long travel, having 170mm of suspension travel up front and 160mm at the back. A 29-inch wheel up front and a 27.5-inch wheel at the back provide agile handling.

The bike is powered by a 630-watt-hour battery pack

The E-Mythique LT is budget-friendly, thanks to Vitus’s partnership with Chinese e-bike system specialist Bafang. They worked together to customize the Bafang M510 mid-drive unit for this bike, offering a strong torque of 95 Newton-meters. The 630-watt-hour battery pack is a bit smaller than some others but is balanced by the bike’s lower price.

Electric Bike

Riders can choose from five ride modes: Eco, Eco Plus, Trail, Boost, and Race. These modes can be changed easily during a ride using a display unit.

Three different models of the E-Mythique LT are available, all affordably priced. The LT VR, the most budget-friendly at $3,699 USD, comes with SR Suntour suspension and a Microshift drivetrain. The LT VRS, priced at $4,199 USD, features a Sram drivetrain. The top model, the LT VRX, costs $4,599 USD, and includes RockShox suspension and a Sram GX and NX Eagle drivetrain.

The Vitus E-Mythique LT’s combination of performance and affordability makes it a notable option for all types of trail riders. It shows that you don’t have to break the bank to enjoy a quality electric mountain bike, and it reflects Vitus’s continued commitment to innovation in the cycling industry.
