All pedelecs sold in the EU require an EU declaration of conformity including CE marking. Particular attention should be paid to this when you buy an imported pedelec or want to import one yourself. Can a normal mountainbike be equipped with an electric motor? In general, an engine can be retrofitted to conventional mountainbikes. The battery is placed in the frame triangle instead of the bottle holder. But as a mid engine requires a specially designed frame, the recommended drive type for MTBs cannot be refitted to a normal MTB because the frame is not strong enough to cope with the forces of the retrofit engine. You also have to take into account that the warranty of the frame (or generally of the bike manufacturer) expires, and the refitting is anything but trivial. So the best idea is to buy a complete eMTB with a good engine to ensure best performance and road feel and avoid technical and legal risks. Does an eMTB need special attachments? Currently, no manufacturer does have to install any special parts on an e-mountainbike.
