scott e mountainbike 2020 Scott Voltage eRIDE 910 Bike

The Scott Voltage eRIDE 910 Bike is Scott's trail-focused eMTB — built from HMF carbon fiber and designed to deliver natural-feeling pedal assistance without the bulk and weight typical of electric trail bikes. It borrows its platform from the Genius all-mountain bike, adding Scott's discreet Integrated Suspension Technology layout and the TQ HPR50 motor system to create something that rides more like a capable 160mm trail bike than a motorized hauler. On 29" wheels across all sizes, with 160mm up front and 155mm at the rear, the Voltage eRIDE is set up for serious trail riding — capable on the climbs, composed and controlled on the descents.

At the heart of the Voltage eRIDE 910 is the TQ HPR50 mid-drive motor. TQ's design uses a harmonic gear system that significantly reduces the physical footprint of the drive unit — the motor weighs 1.8kg — while generating up to 50Nm of torque and 300W of peak power. The result is a motor that runs quieter than most and delivers assistance that feels close to your own pedaling cadence rather than fighting it. A 360Wh internal battery handles the range, and the frame is designed to fit a TQ range extender (an additional 160Wh) alongside a full-size water bottle inside the front triangle. A top-tube-mounted display shows range, battery status, power in and out, and the selected mode at a glance. The system connects to the TQ smartphone app via Bluetooth and ANT+ for deeper monitoring and settings control.

Scott builds the Voltage eRIDE 910 frame from HMF carbon fiber, the same grade used across much of their performance mountain bike lineup. The Integrated Suspension Technology layout routes the Fox NUDE 6T EVOL Trunnion rear shock inside the frame rather than above the top tube. Scott's engineers designed this arrangement to lower the center of gravity, improve lateral stiffness around the shock pivot, and protect the shock from trail debris — the latter helping with long-term service life. A sag indicator at the rocker pivot makes suspension setup more accessible. Shock access is through a hinged, rubber-coated downtube cover with a port for on-trail adjustments that doesn't require removing the panel. The angle-adjustable headset allows a ±0.5° head tube angle adjustment without swapping parts. Geometry runs aggressive for the trail category: 63.9° head tube angle, 77.1° effective seat tube angle, and 455mm chainstays across all four sizes, with a size Large reach of 485mm.

The 910 spec opens with a Fox 36 Float Rhythm Air Grip fork — 160mm of travel on a 15x110mm axle — paired with the Fox NUDE 6T EVOL Trunnion rear shock at 155mm. The drivetrain is a 1x12 setup: Shimano XT M8100 SGS rear derailleur paired with Shimano Deore M6100 shifters and a 10-51 cassette, all driven by an FSA alloy 34T crank. Stopping power comes from Shimano Deore M6120 four-piston hydraulic disc brakes on 203mm Shimano RT64 rotors at both ends. Rolling stock is Syncros X-30S tubeless-compatible wheels wrapped in Maxxis Dissector 29x2.6 tires — a tire choice that suits mixed trail and all-mountain conditions well. The Syncros cockpit spec includes a Hixon 1.5 alloy bar at 780mm wide with 8° backsweep, a Syncros AM 1.5 stem, and the Syncros Duncan Dropper 1.5S post with travel that scales by frame size: 140mm in small, 180mm in medium, and 210mm in large and XL.

The Voltage eRIDE 910 is built for trail riders who want genuine eMTB capability without the handling penalty that heavier, motor-forward designs carry. The TQ HPR50 favors smoothness and integration over outright torque — riders whose primary goal is maxing out steep, technical climbing power may prefer systems like Bosch or Shimano EP8 for their higher output. What the Voltage gives in return is a mountain bike that handles more like its non-motorized counterpart: responsive on technical terrain, stable at speed, and quiet enough to keep the experience firmly on the right side of the trail-bike spectrum. At $6,119.99, the 910 delivers the full Voltage eRIDE platform at a build level that matches the bike's trail-riding brief without overreaching on spec.
