NCM Aspen Plus Electric Fat Tire Bike The NCM Aspen Plus is an electric mountain bike made for off-road riding. The bike’s geometry, frame and the lightweight components make it a premium electric mountain bike and give it the challenger aesthetic ready to take on any terrain.  Aspen Plus goes beyond mountain biking, thanks to its 4” fat tires and a frame that can fit even wider tires. Loose sand, beach or the hills, the rear hub motor packs a serious punch and ploughs through any kind of terrain and challenge you throw at this bike.

Tough Frame

Aspen Plus has an extremely lightweight frame made from aircraft-grade aluminium. At 63 lbs. this is one of the lightest electric fat tire mountain bikes. This makes it a great choice for trail riding. 

• The frame integrates the large capacity battery in its down tube, keeping the bike more stable and compensating for the rider’s weight on the rear side. 
• The upright riding position makes trail riding more comfortable
• With the ability to shift body weight more efficiently, downhill riding becomes much safer.

Powerful Motor

The Aspen Plus is a step up from the NCM Aspen because of the powerful 750 W rear hub-driven motor. 

• Rear hub motor provides instant power to the wheel.
• Shifting gears have no delays because the motor is so close to the derailleur.
• Motor can provide pedal assist or work completely on the throttle.

Battery

This bike has a major upgrade in terms of battery. It uses a 48 V 16 Ah cell that can support the powerful motor and give a range of up to 92 miles depending on riding conditions and pedal assist level. 

• Detachable battery. Can be charged anywhere.
• High voltage delivers higher power.
• Supports USB charging for electronic devices or cellphones

Challenges Any Terrain

The mountain climbing capability on this e-bike is unmatched at this price point. The light frame and powerful motor is a perfect combo for technical terrain. Instead of using thinner mountain bike tires, the Aspen Plus makes its terrain diverse with the 26” x 4” fat tires that help with dirt, marsh and sand.

Both of these features coupled with some high quality components truly make the Aspen Plus the right contender for upper class electric mountain bikes. 

• The front fork is an RST Guide with an open dropout and 60 mm of travel. You can adjust the travel depending on the terrain or lock it, if you plan on riding through a dirt road or in the city.
• The Velo saddle is great for providing an aggressive riding position for fast riders and the frame provides an upright position for people who prefer a more comfortable ride.

Components That Last

One thing any e-bike enthusiast will admit, is that NCM did not cut corners with their component choices. This e-bike has all the quality components from name brands. 

• Tektro hydraulic brakes provide immense braking power for slowing down and providing grip on rocky climbs. 
• The front and rear derailleur are both Shimano and the Shimano gear selector fits in flawlessly on the handlebar. 
• The handlebar grips are ergonomically designed for comfort.
• There’s a learning curve to this e-bike , but the Das-Kit display makes it easier for new riders to adjust to this powerful mountain bike.

Why Should I Buy The Aspen Plus?

You won’t be sold on the idea that the Aspen Plus is the best e-bike, but at the fraction of the price NCM is offering everything necessary to place it in the best electric mountain bike class. It’s light on the budget and each component sparkles with quality. This isn’t a bike built for a few rides, but a season full of heavy trail riding in the most intense conditions.

All the gearing is Shimano and the Das-kit motor is controlled by the Das-kit display. These are just some of the tiny details that build this bike’s rank near the top while going easy on the wallet.
