In this video we break out our brand new Scott Strike e-Ride 930, and mid range electric mountain bike (eMTB) that I use for cross training and fitness workouts.

The Scott is a great all around bike but it is def not top of the line. For an additional $5k, you can def find upgraded models. That being said, this bike is much easier on the budget. Bottom line - it's perfect for casual to moderate enduro mountain biking, trail riding, and moderate climbing. It's not a downhill bike, but we knew that going in.

The Scott essentially has all the functionality of a top end bike, but weaker suspension components (which is almost always where budget vehicles make their price cuts). It has excellent hydraulic brakes, a nice dropper post, a cool handlebar accessible suspension lockout lever, and a very polished look and feel.

In the motor department, the Scott is running the same components of the top end bikes, and makes plenty of torque with decent batter life. I can get about 3 hours out of top power mode, many more if I turn it down.

Regarding e-bikes in general, they are def not a cop-out in any way - watch the video for my thoughts on why these are fantastic options for most riders.
