The name McLaren is synonymous with speed. From the British marque’s long and illustrious history in Formula 1 to its legendary record-breaking F1 road car to the bonkers hypercars such as the Speedtail that it produces today, odds are if your vehicle says “McLaren” on the side, it can absolutely fly.
Now, the brand has applied its speed-above-all-else philosophy to an entirely new vehicle segment. Moving from four wheels to two, McLaren has just unveiled its first line of electric mountain bikes (eMTB). And, as you’d expect from McLaren, these e-bikes are ridiculously fast. In fact, McLaren says they’re the most powerful street-legal e-bikes on the market.

McLaren Engineering Meets the Trail
McLaren’s inaugural eMTB offerings consist of four total models spread across two chassis: Extreme and Sport. All bikes have frames constructed of carbon fiber which McLaren says took its designers over 1,000 hours to engineer.
The frames are constructed in-house at McLaren and, in addition to their racing DNA, incorporate stylistic cues from McLaren racing cars, particulary the Extreme models, which are clad in McLaren’s distinct orange livery.
All four bikes are also shod in Pirelli Scorpion Enduro tires, naturally, continuing the longstanding partnership between McLaren Racing and the Italian outfit.
