LANKELEISI GT800 Electric Mountain Bike 500W – Review and Comparison

€3,699.00

The LANKELEISI GT800 is a high-end electric mountain bike, equipped with a Bafang 500 W central motor and a Samsung 48 V 20 Ah battery offering a range of up to 150 km in pedal-assist mode.

With a maximum torque of 120 Nm, a four-bar soft-tail suspension and Tektro hydraulic brakes, this e-MTB is engineered to tackle the most demanding terrain with stability and power.

Its colour LCD display, Shimano 12-speed system and 29×2.4-inch tyres make it an ideal companion for thrill-seekers and long-distance explorers.

Description

The LANKELEISI GT800 is an electric mountain bike designed for demanding cyclists seeking power, range and comfort across all terrains. Equipped with a Bafang M600 central motor delivering 250 W/500 W (maximum output 500 W), it offers impressive torque of 120 Nm, ideal for climbs and acceleration.

Its removable Samsung 48 V 20 Ah battery (960 Wh) delivers a theoretical range of up to 150 km in Eco mode, and 70 to 120 km under real-world conditions depending on assistance level and terrain.


Who is this bike for?

This model is particularly suited to:

  • Electric mountain bike enthusiasts seeking high performance in mountainous terrain
  • Cyclists wanting exceptional range for long-distance rides
  • Users who appreciate full-suspension comfort (front and rear)
  • Tech enthusiasts (colour LCD display, torque sensor, hydraulic brakes)

Performance and range

The GT800 stands out with its triple-sensor system (1 torque sensor + 2 speed sensors), delivering responsive and natural assistance. The motor provides impressive power, even on the steepest climbs.

  • Claimed range: up to 150 km (Eco mode)
  • Real-world range: 70 to 120 km depending on assistance and terrain
  • Maximum assisted speed: 25 km/h (adjustable to 40 km/h)
  • Weight: 28 kg (with battery)
  • Maximum load: 150 kg

In practice, range depends on:

  • Rider weight and payload
  • Assistance level selected (5 modes available)
  • Terrain type (flat, climbing, trails)
  • Weather conditions (wind, temperature)

Strengths

✔ Bafang 500 W motor with 120 Nm torque for exceptional power
✔ Samsung 48 V 20 Ah battery (960 Wh) for outstanding range
✔ Four-bar soft-tail suspension (120 mm fork + adjustable rear damper)
✔ Tektro hydraulic brakes with 180 mm discs for precise, secure stopping
✔ Shimano 12-speed transmission (M6100 derailleur) for optimal adaptability
✔ Backlit colour LCD display with full information (speed, range, assistance level, etc.)
✔ 29×2.4-inch tyres for excellent traction and stability
✔ 6061 aluminium alloy frame – lightweight yet durable
✔ Powerful 48 V LED headlight for optimal night visibility


Weaknesses

❌ Heavy weight (28 kg), impractical for manual transport
❌ High price (£3,699), requiring a substantial budget
❌ Ambiguous homologation: whilst the motor can be limited to 250 W/25 km/h, the availability of a 500 W version and an unlocked speed up to 40 km/h creates uncertainty around EU road compliance without a clear option at purchase.
❌ Gas-sprung rear suspension requires manual adjustment (no automatic locking)


Comparison and positioning

The LANKELEISI GT800 positions itself as one of the most powerful electric mountain bikes on the market, with specifications comparable to premium models such as the Specialized Turbo Levo or Haibike AllMtn, yet at a more accessible price point.

It outperforms most e-MTBs in terms of torque (120 Nm) and range (up to 150 km), whilst offering comprehensive equipment (suspension, hydraulic brakes, Shimano 12-speed transmission).

Important note: Lankeleisi frequently offers bikes with ambiguous power and speed specifications (e.g. 250 W/500 W, 25 km/h/40 km/h). Without an explicit choice of an EU road-compliant version at purchase, legal compliance for road use in Europe cannot be guaranteed. We recommend verifying with your dealer the availability of a version strictly limited to 250 W and 25 km/h if you require certified homologation.


This bike is for you if?

✔ You seek an ultra-powerful e-MTB for mountain or technical trail riding
✔ You want exceptional range for multi-hour rides
✔ You value the comfort of full suspension and a robust frame
✔ You're ready to invest in a premium bike for thrilling experiences
✔ You ride primarily off-road or on private paths


This bike is NOT for you if?

❌ You're seeking a lightweight, easy-to-transport bike
❌ Your budget is limited (under £3,000)
❌ You want 100% EU road homologation without ambiguity
❌ You ride primarily in towns or on cycle paths
❌ You prefer a simple bike with minimal maintenance (suspension, 12-speed transmission)
