Pedal Bikes are a smaller brand in the Australian market, but one moving ahead in leaps and bounds thanks to the thorough range of entry level bikes and e-bikes available exclusively via 99 Bikes. The Pedal Titan was their first foray into the world of full-suspension eMTBs, and they have just released the second iteration of the popular entry level eMTB, bringing some useful updates while maintaining an excellent price of $3499 for Club 99 members ($5499 RRP).
Pedal Bikes have a range of other e-bikes from commuters to hardtails, but the Titan II is the only full-suspension bike in the range, and one clearly designed for off-road use. That said, Pedal Bikes aren’t pitching the Titan II as a bike to go up against a Norco Sight VLT or Merida eOneSixty – it is designed to meet the needs of riders who want a full-suspension eMTB for moderate trails and light trail use, not hard-hitting trail and all-mountain action. There aren’t many other options to look at under $4000, save for the Reid Sphinx FS which sells for $3799.99, which uses the same Ananda M100 motor but has some notable differences in parts used and size options.
INITIAL IMPRESSIONS
I picked up the Pedal Titan II from 99 Bikes HQ in Brisbane, it was a sample ahead of the full production run and I was lucky that 99 Bikes were able to supply
