Scott Fastlane Electric Bikes
Scott’s new Fastlane range might be one of the cleanest integrations of electric assist we’ve seen on an electric road bike.
The Scott Fastlane is a lightweight, performance-oriented electric road bike built to feel as close as possible to a “normal” racing bike — but with just enough electric assist to make a real difference when you need it. The frame is a slim carbon build (the Fastlane Road Disc HMX) and thanks to a compact drive system the bike retains clean lines and a sleek, stealthy silhouette.
At the heart of the Fastlane electric bikes is the compact TQ HPR40 mid-motor, producing 40 Nm of torque. The unit sits neatly around the crank area, and thanks to its near-silent operation and smooth power delivery, it feels more like a strong tailwind than a motor kicking in. Power comes from an internal 290 Wh battery hidden inside the frame, with the assist tapering off above 15.5 mph (25 km/h) — leaving you with a natural, drag-free ride when the Fastlane motor isn’t engaged.
The chassis itself is built from Scott’s HMX carbon, claiming a frame weight of around 865 grams. The overall bike weight can dip below 10 kg on the Premium build, which pairs Shimano’s Dura-Ace Di2 groupset with Zipp 353 NSW carbon wheels. The geometry borrows heavily from the Addict RC, which means it handles like a genuine race bike rather than a commuter e-bike.
What stands out most about the Scott Fastlane isn’t raw power but subtlety. Riders describe the assist as almost imperceptible — more like you’ve suddenly found an extra gear in your legs. It’s designed for long rides, tough climbs, and those endurance efforts where a gentle nudge makes the difference between finishing strong or flagging out.
Depending on how you ride — how much you pedal, the terrain and how much assist you use — it’s a road-bike-first machine that just gets a “helping hand” when needed. For many, that means climbing hills or headwinds feels easier, long rides become more accessible, but without losing the precise handling and lightweight feel of a high-end road bike.

We launched the new Scott Fastlane 2026 electric road bikes in November 2025. We already have stock of some models and others are available to pre-order with stock arriving in the coming months. We recommend getting your bike nailed down as stock is limited and on a first come first served basis.
Fastlane is equipped with the TQ HPR40 mid-motor, delivering up to 40 Nm of torque, and an internal 290 Wh battery integrated neatly into the carbon frame.
It rides very much like a proper road bike. The hidden motor and battery help keep weight down (some builds are around 10 kg), so handling, responsiveness and geometry stay close to a traditional racing bike.
Every model shares the same race-inspired geometry as the Scott Addict, ensuring a sharp, responsive ride and effortless handling. Whether you’re tackling alpine climbs, pushing long endurance miles, or simply chasing that next PB, the Fastlane delivers a ride that feels fast, fluid, and completely natural.
The assist is designed to be subtle and natural — more like getting a second wind than a full “motor push.” It helps on climbs, accelerations or into headwinds, but disengages smoothly when you reach 15.5 mph (legal assist cut-off), so at speed it feels like a normal road bike.
That depends a lot on how you ride — terrain, how much you pedal, assist level, etc. The 290 Wh battery gives enough for moderate rides or hill-heavy routes; if you ride efficiently and mix pedal power with assist it’s realistic for typical club rides or longer workouts.
Compared with a standard road bike, Fastlane gives you the option to save energy: hills, headwinds, or long rides don’t feel as punishing. Compared with a typical e-MTB or heavy electric hybrid, it retains the agility, lightness and speed of a racing bike — so it’s more of a hybrid between “bike feel” and “assisted riding.”
For riders who’ve been skeptical about electric road bikes, the Scott Fastlane may finally be the bridge between performance cycling and subtle e-assist. Light, beautifully integrated, and unmistakably “Scott”, it’s a machine built for riders who want to go further — without giving up the feel of a true road bike.
Because it’s light and compact and looks more like a regular road bike, it’s easier to store, carry indoors or fit into smaller spaces compared with bulky e-MTBs or commuter-style e-bikes. That makes it a good choice if you live in a flat or have limited storage.
Yes. Models like Fastlane 10 use high-quality road components (e.g. electronic groupsets such as Shimano Ultegra Di2, reliable disc brakes, lightweight aero wheels) so the bike’s performance isn’t limited by drivetrain or build.
