When we were offered the chance to test and review Mclaren’s eBike, the Extreme, we were very open to the opportunity. As motorheads, it was thrilling to hear that a brand with such a reputation and history found our little sport worthy of their time, money and engineering efforts. Our crew was both excited and worried about what that bike was going to look like, as McLaren is not the first automobile company to try and capture sales in the bike industry when its trendiness seems to be peaking. At the time we’d not yet seen the press release, images or details of the bike, just silhouettes and enough to have us skeptically excited. Fast forward and we’ve now likely all see the press release, images and details of the McLaren Extreme eMTB line. While the bike boasts a ground-munching 161Nm of torque from a 3.6kg drive unit, it was pretty clear that they did not make an eMountain Bike for eMountain Bikers. Nevertheless, once our test bike arrived, we hit the trails as we always do, with open minds and a hope to have our opinions changed.

Surprisingly honest review, yet you managed to tiptoe around flat out calling it an extremely expensive piece of junk.
in automative world one of ma fav brands, but for the MTB its like nobody from MTB involve for designing and parts selecting for this bike. so many things not match with the bike with parts or look. at least its good for a start, but for next version they really need to get the feedback from REAL MTBikers
This bike is for people who call every full sus a "downhill bike" and will brag about having the most powerful drive motor.
Absolutely fine with me these folks don't ride where I ride 😂
It’s for showing off on the school run with a big motor for towing the kid trailer
I’ve thought of this as more for the guy with the Garage-Mahal with a super car and wanted a bike to cruise around in the gated community or to ‘the club’.
If this bike would've been better, I'd buy one.
Just to say:
"I just bought a McLaren"
"Wanna see my McLaren?"
"Oh, what am I doing this weekend? Just cruising in my McLaren"
A very expensive pile of junk.
Look at that thing… They are getting closer and closer to motorcycles… I keep seeing more people riding with modified ebikes so they don't have to pedal at all. They just "whirr" all through the bikepark
I think this is one of the few times a McLaren MTB will actually ride a real trail.
That's uglier than my ex girlfriend 😂
It started that tree on fire
“For a mtb’r it is not idea “ that about sums it up 😂😂😂
I guess the designers are more fire trail and pavements than bike park and technical trails.
Very polite. McLaren should be pleased.
Next do the Ford bikes…
Other than the cockpit the design reminds me of my Giant Trance X E+.
What I don't get is how much these auto companies probably budget for a project like this and seem to leave out an actual MTB/eMTB rider that would avoid obvious mistakes like the brake choice.
The summary starting around 15:40 with “the bike will go” is awesome. Shout out for the honest review.
those handlebars… oof
It's 10k 🤦
Almost 20 minutes just to imply it's shit
Just because you put syrup on 💩 doesn’t make it pancakes 🥞 lol
