I've spotted a good-looking electric MTB that will more than do with trailer-pulling duties for heavy shopping and day-trips to the coast when I want to take it easy. Looks exactly like those 1990's Kleins with just one wide bar holding the front and back together, which I rode one happy MTB holiday on Levkas and liked a lot.
It will also do me when the legs run out of puff for the local trails (I ain't as young as I used to be and may need electric assistance in a couple of years or so).
Only thing is, until I see it up close and not just on a website, I'm not completely convinced about the suspension.
It doesn't say what the forks are (looks like they might be Mags or Suntour) but the rear unit is a "KS".
Anybody know about or use/have used these?
Comments please...

KS = Kind Shock. They make good dropper posts but I have no idea how their shocks perform.
i clicked on this thinking it was about banshee bikes post 2012 🙂
Hmm. Can't find any reviews.
I'll probably buy the thing if a close-up inspection convinces for a donkeywork bike. I can always upgrade the sus units later if I want...

No, I'm sorry - I refuse to believe that they exist.
I think we need a link so we can see the thing for ourselves...
Ew!
1: It looks awful.
2: It folds in half!
3: At 400W max power it's not legal here.
It's a no from me 😐
KS rear shocks are generally BSO-level crap. Judging by the bike in the link that's exactly what it is in this case too.
47lbs.
Ah'm oot!
Reminds me of a Klein Mantra, and not in a good way...
I'd be careful buying something called Etna. You never know when it's gonna blow up.
The KS shock would be the least of my worries having seen the terrible photomontage on the tyres.
Well for me the fold in half is a good thing for storage.
I take your point re the shock though - which is what I wanted to know so - I'm out too.
There's a shop in Granada that sells Cube e-bikes. I think I'll bite the financial bullet and raise my game a grand...
