Adding to its extensive line of performance eMTB, Vitus Bikes introduced the new E-Mythique LT. There have been a lot of new electric mountain bikes introduced lately, but the E-Mythique looks to bring the barrier to entry even lower for the long-travel crowd.
The E-Mythique LT will be available in three different spec options, VR, VRS, and VRX. All will be powered by a Bafang M510 drive unit custom-tuned for this bicycle.
Owing to the LT name, the new bike is long-travel (170mm/160mm) and a mixed-wheel variation of the analog Mythique. The E-Mythique LT incorporates learnings from the current E-Sommet range and creates a bicycle that is ready to ride everything a modern enduro bike can handle.
Vitus partnered with Befang and chose to use their M510 drive unit which has a maximum torque of 95Nm and a competitive unit weight. Vitus also worked with Bafang to custom-tune the M510, effectively “cherry-picking the best features” for the E-Mythique LT.
The M510 is powered by an integrated 630Wh battery and display unit with 5 power modes – Eco, Eco Plus, Trail, Boost, and Race. These modes give the rider options for adjusting range and on-trail performance. These days you can find bigger batteries than 630Wh, but rarely at this price.

The E-Mythique LT Line Up
For the base model LT VR, you can pick up an E-Mythique for under $4k. Even at the top end, you’re still looking at a bike below $5k, which is highly competitive for the category.
