E-bike Recommendation (Downhill)
 
Hello everyone, happy I found the forum. I was wondering if I could get some recommendations for an e-bike.

I am 25 yr old 160 lbs 5'8" and 31 leg length both measured with shoes on (The ones I ride with) I am use to lighter weight mountain bikes. Embarrassingly my current bike I've had since I was younger is a Trek 3700 16" Did the job for a while but I always wish I had a full suspension as its not really suitable for rocky downhill which I like to ride.

I am looking for something that is downhill full suspension, hand throttle only. I want something that can easily get me up hills that I would usually have to walk. It would be nice if it can hit 40+mph, but I'm really looking for that uphill power.

In terms of price I am not sure what I am willing to spend. I would be more comfortable around the 5k range. But if there is a bike out there that is in the lower range and has what I'm looking for feel free to post it! Who doesn't like to save money?

Thanks in advanced guys. Once again so happy I found the forum!

Wow, I didn't know such things existed. No help to offer, but I'm subscribing to see what is out there.

Came across the HPC XC Series. Any thoughts on it? Is this ideal for what I'm after?

HPC, as mentioned above, and other companies make off the shelf rear motor "sleds" that will accommodate you, or you could build your own with a Qulbix , Vector or other platform. Be prepared for a
60 - 100+ pound monster with prices beginning at $5K.

I'm an EasyMotion owner, and I'd get this one if I wanted full-suspension: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YEi470LEgc
It's in your price range, and there is also a 650 tire-size model. Enjoy your eventual choice.
Edit: The current model is here: Easy Motion - NEO Jumper
