Bicicleta SCOTT Lumen eRIDE 900 SL TR

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 Lumen 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 bike battery’s charge first, so you’ll never be caught short when heading out to ride.

To maintain a clean cockpit, the TQ system puts the focus on a minimalistic display located in the top tube. 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 too. Utilizing the built in ANT+, the system easily connects with a bike computer such as a Garmin, Hammerhead or Wahoo unit.

The Lumen 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. 

Unlike most full suspension E-Bikes, on the Lumen 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 rear water bottle and the range extender, allowing both to be easily transported when out on longer rides.

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 Lumen 900 SL and 900 models feature the Fraser IC DC combo from Syncros. The designers worked on the shape to allow the cables to flow under the bar and around the sides of the stem before disappearing into the headset with integrated plastic parts to keep it clean and efficient. This avoids bends or kinks in the cables and provides a minimalist front end.

The TQ motor allows us to keep a standard Q-factor with a 55mm chain line – exactly the same as the Scott Spark. 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.

Shocks with NUDE Technology have been intgral to SCOTT Full suspension bikes for nearly two decades. Working closely with our suspension partners, we continue to improve upon this technology so that whether you're racing World Cup's at the highest level or out for a big day in the mountains, you'll always have the best support on offer.

Com o TwinLoc, o betetista pode controlar efectivamente o quadro, a suspensão e o amortecedor como um sistema. E porque é que isto é importante? Uma bicicleta com 150mm de curso, devidamente afinada, tem mais "sag" que uma bicicleta com 130mm de curso. Mas se esse curso extra, embora se transforme em diversão e mais controlo nas descidas, também origina mais "sag", ou seja, afecta a geometria da bicicleta e a sua performance a subir. É neste ponto que o TwinLoc importa.

O Twinloc ajuda a afinar o "sag" em diversos sentidos. Enquanto outros sistemas apenas aumentam a compressão a baixas-velocidades de forma a aumentar a eficiência de pedalada, o TwinLoc permite não só mudar o amortecimento na compressão, mas também muda a curva da mola, alterando por isso a geometria da bicicleta. No modo Trail, o amortecedor fica mais firme, mas também usa dinamicamente menos curso. O bloco pedaleiro fica mais elevado, optimizando o ângulo da bicicleta em subida, tornando a bicicleta mais ágil. Também existe um terceiro modo, o lockout, que torna as passagens por subidas e zonas planas mais eficientes.

As afinações únicas do sistema optimizam o comportamento da bicicleta em subida, mesmo as que têm cursos mais elevados. Conseguimos eliminar a sensação de pedalada "com curso longo" que rouba eficiência, mas não retiramos diversão ao uso dos 150mm de curso quando apontam a bicicleta para baixo. Seja numa competição, numa volta rápida, num BTT depois do trabalho, a facto de podermos mudar de modo de forma a nos adaptarmos ao terreno, criamos novas possibilidades para a disciplina Trail.
