My Favorite eMTB - The Cannondale Moterra SL eBike - The World's Lightest Full-Power eBIKE

As I've been struggling with health issues, my Moterra SL has been a game-changer. It's a full-power eMTB that's the same weight as most half-power SL eBikes. This bike features the shimano ep-801 motor, full power, full battery, excellent geometry, and only weighs 45 lbs. This combination makes for a this a truly special bike; in fact, it's my favorite eMTB to date. Today we take it to the trail to test it out and see what it's like.
