Scott Addict Electric Bikes

The Addict eRIDE electric bike takes the racingāheritage and lightweight DNA of the original Scott Addict road bike, and blends it with discreet, subtle electric assistance. The carbon frame remains slim and elegant, and the eāsystem is hidden ā thanks to a compact Mahle X20 rearāhub motor and an internally mounted battery ā so visually the bike hardly betrays itself as an eābike.Ā
What you get is a roadābike feel: nimble handling, light weight (with complete bikes often around ~11.5ā12āÆkg), and the kind of rolling & responsiveness that suits group rides, sportives or long road sessions.Ā These bikes redefine speed and efficiency, seamlessly integrating electric power with sleek frames for an exhilarating ride. With responsive handling and enhanced aerodynamics, they propel riders with ease through urban streets or open roads.
Crafted for speed enthusiasts, they offer customizable assistance modes for varying terrains and riding styles. Built with top-tier components and enduring batteries, they ensure reliability and extended rides. What stands out with Addict eRIDE is how the assist transforms what would be a fairly demanding road bike into a more accessible, allāday machine. Hills, headwinds or long distances become a lot more manageable ā without losing the feeling of riding a āreal road bikeā.Ā
The Scott Addict eRIDE series showcases Scott's dedication to road mastery, delivering a thrilling electric experience, setting new benchmarks in performance and agility.

The bike is typically equipped with a X20 rearāhub motor from Mahle, paired with an internally mounted 350āÆWh battery.
With the standard battery offering ~250āÆWh, realistic assisted range tends to be in the ballpark of 30ā80 miles, depending on terrain, rider weight, assist level, and how much you pedal unaided.
Yes ā the Mahle hubāmotor offers enough torque (in recent versions up to ~55ā60āÆNm) to make hills, headwinds or long rides noticeably easier. Itās particularly useful for climbing or helping you stay fresh over long distances.
While the Scott Addict eRIDE models are rate to around 80 miles of assisted riding, they're also super light weight and so its very easy to spend a lot of your time above the UKs 15.5mph legal limit and so riders often far exceed this figure.
Not significantly. One of the selling points is that the hub motor + internal battery combo adds minimal drag, so when assist is off (or at higher speeds), the bike pedals and rolls much like a traditional road bike.
Yes ā like all legal eābikes, assist cuts out at 25āÆkm/h (approx 15.5āÆmph) in the UK/EU. Above that speed, the bike behaves like a regular road bike.
Generally the top end models are the lightest options however the whole Scott Addict eRIDE model range generally comes out lighter than their closest competition, often tipping the scales at under 12kg, which is incredible for a road bike carrying a motor and battery. The two lightest models are the Scott Addict RC 10 and the Addict RC Ultimate.
Itās ideal for sportives, longādistance road rides, club rides or mixedāterrain touring where you want speed with a bit of assist. It also works if you want to go further or ride harder without overtaxing yourself ā though itās less a commuterāoriented eābike than a performanceāoriented road eābike.
Scott tends to spec Addict eRIDE with highāend road components: e.g. Shimano 105 or Ultegra groupsets (mechanical or Di2), hydraulic disc brakes, Syncros wheels/handlebars ā so you get performance, reliability and roadābikeāclass ride quality.
