SCOTT Voltage eRIDE 900 Tuned Bike

The Voltage applies our patented Integrated Suspension Technology. Not only does this make for a fantastic looking bike, but it also allows us to improve the bike's suspension performance.

With the Voltage, accessing our patented integrated shock is easier than ever. Just push the button, pop off the cover, and access is yours. From here, adjusting rebound, air pressure, etc. is a mere button push away.

When you're done, just pop the cover back on until you hear a click and off you go.

Setting sag and checking travel use is easier than ever before with the Voltage. An external indicator on the link allows the end user to easily set sag and to identify how much travel they're using.

The Voltage Tuned model features our NUDE Suspension technology with the Float-X NUDE shock from FOX paired with a fork that favors more adjustability. When you pedal up to have the most fun on the way down, you want a shock that gives you full factory performance when things point downwards, but also a shock that won’t slow you down when you need to ride back up. This is where the Float-X NUDE shines.

TQ is a German company founded in 1994 who specialize in electric components across a range of industries. With the HPR50, they simply rewrote the rules, delivering an unprecedented weight/power ratio of 1.8 kg for 50Nm. With a diameter of 8 cm, TQ has innovated by using a harmonic gear system. This allows for a reduction of size, while also increasing the accuracy of the system. This results in a lighter bike, better integration, while reducing backlash for a more natural pedalling sensation. This technology also allows for the reduction in system noise for a truly natural experience. After all, you are in the outdoors to, well, enjoy the outdoors.

The Voltage features a 360Wh internal battery which can be further complemented by a 160Wh external range extender. Thanks to TQ's electronic expertise, the HPR50 battery, when combined with the range extender, guarantees maximum performance right through until empty. TQ use specific battery cells to ensure both the battery and range extender continue at full output, even as it reaches low capacity. The system can be charged with the range extender in place, the smart charger, prioritising the main battery's charge first, so you'll never be caught short when heading out to ride.

The Voltage features a 360Wh internal battery which can be further complemented by a 160Wh external range extender. Easily fixed to the front water bottle mount with our unique SCOTT designed quick release mount, the range extender features a slim design and low weight, meaning minimal impact on the bike's handling.

To maintain a clean cockpit, the TQ system puts the focus on a minimalistic display located in the top tube paired to a discrete shifter on the handlebar. At a glance, the LED display provides all the essential info, such as the battery level %, remaining KM range and even Watts, thanks to an integrated power meter. Want more? Link up your phone and dive deep using the TQ E-Bike app, available through the Apple App or Google Play Store. With an automatic Bluetooth connection, you can track your ride and customize your modes. Want to use it with a bike computer? That's no problem. Utilizing the built in ANT+, the system easily connects with a bike computer such as a Garmin, Hammerhead or Wahoo unit.

The TQ app offers real benefit and is easy to use. It's easy to connect, customize and control your TQ-powered e-bike with the TQ E-Bike app. The bike comes with a suggested SCOTT motor tune, with the app you can further tune your drive unit to either save battery life or maximise the power output. You can alter the pedal response either for a faster motor uptake or to slow it down for a more natural feeling. Lastly, you can customize the display, altering the order and number of screens available, turn on and off control sounds, etc.

The TQ motor allows us to keep a standard Q-factor with a 55mm chain line. This allows us to do a few interesting things. Firstly, we can guarantee great tire clearance while not sacrificing stiffness, which is key when it comes to power transfer. Secondly, it gives you the exact same rider stance and pedal width as on a regular bike.

Unlike most full suspension E-Bikes, on the Voltage there is no need to choose between the range extender or a water bottle - between longer rides and staying hydrated. Thanks to the integrated shock there is space for both an external battery and water. An optional sliding mount system also allows an easy switch between the seat tube water bottle and the range extender, allowing both to be easily transported when out on longer rides.

It’s no secret that there is a lot going on inside the modern eMTB, with dropper cable, drive unit and battery cables, and a rear shock discreetly tucked away inside the frame. We have developed a dropper cable channelling device and a shock sleeve that ensure these components are well placed, easy to manage and kept safely away from any moving parts. These neat solutions also result in clean and unobstructed access to the rear shock settings when working on the bike.

With the Voltage eRIDE, SCOTT is further developing the Light-E segment with the finest system integration. The E-All-Mountain also delights downhill riders with its state-of-the-art geometry and plush suspension.

For many riders, the Scott Voltage could very well be the lightweight e-MTB they’ve been waiting for. There’s no denying the advantages the unique frame brings to the trail however, with the ability to carry a full-size bottle and a range extender battery being a particularly welcome feature. Combined with the subtle TQ motor, stupendously plush suspension and nifty TracLoc remote, the Voltage stands as one of the most technically proficient e-MTBs we’ve ridden.

As usual, SCOTT take integration to a whole new level! However, that’s not the only reason why the Voltage eRIDE 900 Tuned stands out from the crowd – it also delivers a tremendous performance on the trail! Uphill, it appeals above all to sporty riders with excellent climbing capabilities and a natural ride feeling. Downhill, it cuts a fine figure too, ensuring precise, intuitive handling in all sorts of scenarios – provided you don’t go too wild!

The Scott Voltage eRide 900 Tuned is very agile and maneuverable. Thanks to its stability and rigidity, it holds its line precisely. Nice: nothing rattles and the motor is also extremely quiet. With the range extender, the light e-MTB offers a very decent range.

Heading down the first trail, I noticed quickly how supple the suspension is at the start of the stroke, helping to find grip on rough sections and through corners. Even when challenged with gnarly enduro trails, the bike remained controlled and capable, with the suspension eating up the bumps well. Deeper into the travel, the rear end feels almost infinite, with the shock offering great mid-stroke support, helping to maintain speed down the trail without transferring big hits through the frame.
Scott’s Voltage eRIDE 900 Tuned offers great performance, both up and down, with an envelope that spans trail to enduro riding.
