A classic reproduction SCOTT unveils the Voltage eRIDE electric mountain bike

Mondo Sports Updated on 2024-03-04

At the beginning of the month, Scott released the first Ransom, and in less than a month, Scott brought another new mountain product - the new Voltage Eride. That's right, Scott resurrected the model that was introduced more than a decade ago, but upgraded it to an electric version.

Play with integration Scott introduces a new voltage electric boost.

Concealed rear shock.

Similar to Scott's softtail models introduced in recent years, the Voltage features a concealed rear shock mounted in the riser cavity. This design prevents environmental contaminants, such as mud or dust, from wearing out its seals and protects them from any terrain impact.

Because of Scott's partnership with Fox, Voltage continues to use custom Nude shocks that support the Twinloc suspension control system, but with some notable upgrades. Hidden inside the riser is an inverted Fox Nude 6T rear shock with three compression settings that can be selected between three modes of climbing, hill control and descent via the handlebar controller.

Voltage's carbon frame uses all of Scott's engineering knowledge of composites to create frames with different stiffness and strength profiles. The upper part is made of "lighter" carbon fiber construction, and the lower half, especially in the central axle area, is reinforced with more material. This means that the voltage is stiffer and more impact-resistant where it needs to be, and lighter, more comfortable, and more compliant where the rider needs it.

On the weight of the whole vehicle, the SL model weighs 179 kg, voltage responds to your every movement like a regular trail bike; You can handle and brake as you normally would, but it will add some energy and allow you to ride longer.

The frame geometry fits perfectly for the voltage used as a trail bike, with access to steeper and more technical terrain. The voltage has a 160mm 155mm front and rear stroke, 63With a 9° head tube angle, the reference REACH value for the size L frame is 485mm. The voltage comes with an angle-adjustable cup, which allows the rider to increase the head tube angle to 65 degrees if they wish.

Although the rear shock was included in the riser, Scott's engineers had plenty of room for the dropper seatpost. The small frame holds 140mm of travel, the medium and large frames hold 180mm of travel, and the oversized voltage holds 210mm of travel.

Mid-drive motor.

But what about voltage's mid-drive motors? Scott's engineers used a TQ-HPR50 motor rated at 50Nm that draws energy from a 360Wh downtube-mounted battery pack. If there is a requirement for longer range, there is also a range extender battery, which can be plugged into a voltage riser bottle cage to add 160wh of energy.

Vehicle information is viewed via a minimalist top tube display that can be easily customized to the rider's preferences. If you need to adjust the TQ-HPR50 motor's pedal-assist mode and power delivery, you can do so via the app on your smartphone. In addition, in the unlikely event of running out of power, the TQ-HPR50 motor will also be disconnected and will not generate pedal resistance.

It's a tradition for Scott to configure the rear axle tool, which has a T25, a T30, and a No. 6 Allen wrench. With these three options, the voltage rider can adjust all the turn points, and pretty much everything on the bike that can be adjusted.
