When it comes to e-bike suspension, a monoshock could be a better choice compared a twin shock. Details explained as follows.
Twin shock:
Good at hauling load but doesn't help with bike handling
Twin-shock absorbers feature two valves and two pistons and do well in hauling load. Tuned to be softly sprung, they generally allow a more supple ride. When it comes to cost efficiency, as a twin shock system is easier to manufacture, they are generally cheaper.
The cons: since the two shocks work independently, it is virtually impossible to match their cadence. This will inevitably affect bike handling and decrease overall riding stability.
Monoshock:
Nice handling, great stability, but more complexity
A single shock uses a single valve. As you have probably guessed, bikes with monoshocks handle better than those with a twin-shock setup. As for damping, monoshocks absorb bumps in a more precise way, leading to better handling and stability.
The downside is that monoshocks are more expensive to manufacture and harder to maintain due to a higher level of complexity. Also they are not designed to handle excessive load.
