- Hey guys!
So finally I can show my new E-Genius! Now this thing is unbelievably sick, it’s fast uphill, rips downhill and you have the biggest smile on your face when you’re riding. Before you rip it I recommend that you go and try one! They are genuinely fun!!!

Scotty
I'm close to 50, kids and work get in the way of regular exercise and I'm just not able to stay as fit as my twenties. This is when the ebike comes in. I can go a few weeks without exercise and then bam, I'm hitting the old trails like a 20 year old again. I love it.
Maybe stop making excuses, and taking the easy way out. I'm almost 50 too, and real exercise keeps me riding better than in my 20s and I was an athlete.
@@bfranco1519 Anybody who tells others about how they were an "athlete" is a complete asshole.
@@bfranco1519 your a fuck dude lol.
Hey guys I think B Franco just wants to motivate Robert to go out there and ride on great trails
yep! im fit and i flick between the trail and ebike depending on time, i have one of these, its awesome, i can smash a 3/4hr ride in 1.15hrs and be bk to cook the dinner!!
That definitely put a smile 😃 on your face I could almost feel the excitement you were having on that bike definitely will add to my bucket list.
Great vid, just bought my first ebike and its great... Getting a proper outing next week, 4 days in the Lake district. So will see how it handles on trails I have ridden over the last 25 years starting on a rigid Marin with canty brakes. Can`t wait!!
Demoed one last weekend at Cardingham woods in Cornwall.
What a hoot, turned the normal bull**** climbs into another fun part of the trail that had to be tackled, and then I still had all the energy I needed for the downhills which normally I'd just be spent for and kinda coast through.
I can also see it'd be good for XC as I live in one of the highest points in Cornwall and everything ends with a big climb back up, not fun if you've done some serious miles first.
But for what I do now, I don't need one, but I'd take one for a blast if given the chance again.
cornishcactus Nicely put! I agree!! But I’m loving it so far... 🙂
mate!.. that E-Bike is sooo much fun! . Great one Scotty!..
im 50plus and spent yrs stuck in the house with anxiety, but in my youth loved biking , now i can get out again but unfit i got a ebike so its fun again happy chappy again
Oh man that’s awesome to hear! Have fun out there... 👊
52, Single Speed hardtail in the mountains. You don't need it.
Great video. The route looks totally awesome. Keep up the good work.
I’m not a fan of Ebikes but that doesn’t give me any rights to vilify those who are, as long as they are enjoying themselves and getting out& having fun on the trails who am I to tell them not to. If someoneovertakes me on an Ebike I’ll quite happily say hello and chat to a fellowrider even if I’m struggling to breathe :).
I ride XC/Enduro/DH and Road… and may in future come around and buy an Ebikefor my stable just for something different, also I’m sick to death of groups of people telling other groups they should be like them. Motor assisted long travel does indeed sound tempting as it could open up much more for me to ride, personally don’t see too much value in short travel XC style Ebikes but if that’s what people want let them IMO. Interesting well put together Video.. Subscribed.
Thanks for being openminded and a decent person.
I dont get why some people are scared to let other people have fun with things they dont like.
Rock on!
Congrats bro. You are NOT mentally ill. You are happy, fresh, healthy and enjoying you life. That is what all people should do. I ride E-Bike. I am completely fit and young but I ride to enjoy not to race and compete. I would also love to ride in groups. I am also no one to tell anyone else what to ride or what not. Their money, their life, their rules. Happy shredding bud 👍
Is it just me or was there a very high pitched whine in some of the clips?
yeah makes the vid unbearable to watch
Yah apologies! Mic issues...
yes i can here that too
Same here :P
maybe push the jack plug in further more ??
Such a lovely place. We went up to loch ness / inverness recently. We are seriously thinking of moving to Scotland.
I demoed one just recently and they are ridiculously fun. They are very big for the downhills but if you are looking to ride a lot then an ebike will take you all over the mountain
Fantastic production. Excellent ride.
The egenius is a great looking bike Scott, nice to see you giving the ebike a blast, keep an eye on that battery though pal 😂
Love the video, not far away from me in Fife. What helmet is that you were wearing? Looked nice and like but still got a trial style to it. Keep up the awesome video's Scotty!
E-bike should have a place in every cyclists arsenal. I love having the choices what to ride on any given day.
Install a speedbox and it's a different animal although it burns through parts like fire!
Ahhh, this is why I adore e bikes, opening whole new world of possibilities and joy, going to places where I couldn't on a standard bike! Next month I'm getting Scott Genius E 900, can't wait, I'll even put it in my bed the first night haha
You will love it!
Scotty you should make a video showing all the bikes you have in your garage
IT not even looks like an e-bike
Good job Scott👍👍👍
I was a die hard hater of E-bikes until I tried one. Now my quick after work 30km ride transformed into 45km of fun even in the steep climbs, at 20km/h of average speed.
People don’t want to understand that unless you’re a lazy ass, the physical effort remains the same, you just go faster.
I’ll take the criticism though, with a big smile on my face. ;)
I'd love to try out an E-bike!
And you8 tune the motor to go 50km/h instead of 25 and it's awesome. Problem is it's imposible to go with such bike on whole day epics or even month every day 50km-100km riding.
Did you get a filmer?
Great video 👍 love my emtb too
When is the downhill build comming, Scotty?
Hey Scotty, when will your Scott Genius and spark get its new XTR m9100? Hope you do a review on it your self
This is why i chose the focus jam 2, Due to the tec battery add on, I very much doubt you would of had power issues with the focus jam or focus sam, Got to admit though that bike you have is a lovely looking bike 👍
Outstanding! Thanks you for such an amazing insight. You've helped me make my mind up...... I'm buying the Scott Genius eRide 900 Tuned. Thanks for the great video. Cheers Raymondo (Time to trade in my Genius 750).
Yes Ray! That’s awesome, I’m so stoked to hear that... Look forward to hearing how you get on with it! I LOVE mine!
How do Scotty, Well I collected my eRide 900 on Tuesday - Out for an initial 30 mile blast Wednesday and another 20 miles today and all I can say is.....WOW! & Why the hell did I not buy on sooner. They are absolutely FANTASTIC.
AWESOME VIDEO, DUDE 👍
you're really changing my opinion on e-bikes!
can't say that I hated them earlier, I rather thought it's something useless and made for those reach lazy dummies, but damn, you're opening absolutely new horizons with this bike and that's so cool 😮🔥
so yeah, e-bikes don't suck, haters do)
still it doesn't mean that I'll get one for myself 😂
Great bike for the few. How much does this bike cost?
Brilliant man
Amazing location with a gorgeous bike !
I personally do not ride E-bikes but it’s really cool to see how the electronic assist allowed you to reach places where most bikes and riders would have struggled to. Keep up with the great content !
Scotty when or if are you going to get the new shimano xtr
Some cool drone shots
Ebikes are awesome and this is one of the good ones.
Was that a coffee AND a strawberry milkshake?
At last decent rock steady video footage
As good as a steadycam perfect.
Landscape is a stunner
I rode my 1st e-MTB today, it was a 2017 Trek Powerfly, great fun, almost too easy. I still prefer my Trek Stache, but it would be fun to rent an e-bike once in a while, especially on vacation.
Glad you’re loving it! They’re fun right...
When comes out the downhill bike build video?
Artur soon! Waiting on parts... 🤷♂️
Scotty Laughland yeessss
Artur we want that gambler
What's the finishing song?
Not a fan of ebikes but I imagine they are pretty fun and if I was given one for free I wouldn't say no. That said its not true mountain biking and they are less environmentally friendly. For someone who doesn't need one because of disability they would need to be a second bike really which makes them even more unaffordable and they are limited by the battery life and massive all day rides is the only time I would consider using one. This was one of your best vids to date through very well edited and the music was great (volume levels too)
Come on when is the gambler build coming and great video by the way
Shane Lennon soon I hope!!
people can talk s^&t about Ebikes all they want. They have great potential. As long as the rest of the bike parts and build quality dont suffer they make otherwise no ride areas rideable. I wish I could afford one. Im really bad at hills on road and off and could sometimes use the help..Good video Scotty..
mikieson practice
Im pretty sure every e bike hater would happily accept a brand new 10 grand e bike
Never in a million years. You can keep it, I have no use for it.
I'd sell it and get a non moped bike. The ones in that price range are quite nice😁
at 4.59 is that a kurn are some kinda buriel stone as my local moors of darwen lancashire has some too amongst other lancashire moorland too
Andrew Thomas Helliwell Is that English ?
No
Great video. But there is something wrong with your mic. It has this constant low beep tone.
If you lived in a city like Porto, full of hills, ups and downs you would understand why some people like ebikes
Preguiçoso
Does it make that horrible screeching sound in real life?
Can someone link me a song starting at 6:00?
Velee - Lucid Dreaming feat Willow watch?v=A93xzzAJgJI
I have no problem with e-bikes in general, it must be tremendous fun! I just hope to never have one coming uphill on a SINGLE-track...
excellent .pls mention bgm?
yes they do
Why not M8020 brakes. They would match everything.
Please do a video on why u left gmbn😢😢

Have You Ever Been To "Naran Kaghan" (PAKISTAN)???
Nope!!
@@ScottyLaughland You Have To Visit It To Believe. Just search on Google.
Nice to see an ebike used to ride something that couldn’t be done without it rather than just can’t be bothered to do without it 👍. Shame about the battery.
WHEN IS THE DOWNHILL RIG COMING!!!
Don't get me wrong, I think that e-bikes are a wonderful asset for people with disabilities or that normally can't ride trails. I just recently was at a bike park called skypark though where you ride to the top yourself and earn the downhill, there I saw a little shredder about only 9 years old riding an e-bike with his brother who was about the same age. I personally think that's a little ridiculous because at age 9 I was riding everything myself and really appreciating everything more. I personally don't think that people who have the energy and skill to ride a normal bike should be on an e-bike because they don't experience the workout on the climb and won't develop into stronger riders.
Thers a couple of guys at work who have e- mtbs, both are over weight by around 3 stone, but they claim ebikes require the same rider input, i rode with one guy and he sat at 15 mph in eco the whole commute and was bragging how he kept up with me, by there very nature e bikes assist, good for people that need a little help, massive fun in full assist but please just be honest and say iam not fit enough to ride a regular bike, we live in a world where people will take the easier option, would i buy one, yes for outright fun, but i would keep my regular bike for fitness
eBikes dont suck... but the price 😂
yes ebikes are over priced even i could not afford one so got a normal scott bike instead
I don’t think they suck either. Great for disabled, and the elderly. For the price though I’d rather buy an electric dirt bike. I’ll go even further and have just as much fun if not more.
goonswarm007 they are not cheap - especially Scott - but there is a big selection and you can easily buy a properly equipped ebike for the price of a mid level fully... a Canyon Spectral ON or a Commencal Meta Power costs less than half of a regular S-Works Stumpjumper.
The price of an e-bike can be a deterrent for some people including me.
DOGMAN201322 Check out how much a SantaCruz Bronson costs... there are very good ebikes for half of its price. Canyon Spectral ON, Commencal Meta Power etc. have reasonable prices.
how much are you paid to say they don't suck?
that looks mega
Nice vid wherenis the location
Stirling, Scotland. Scott mentions that in the vid.
Scott u don’t need a ebike tbh
what about the range? not even a word about the range of the biggest battery pack. I bet it's well below 100k, I'd estimate a maxium of 60/70k (with 2000 m altitude climb) with a lighter rider .... and a trained rider rides without any problems above 100k and 3000 m altitude difference ...
And even more when you don’t have to pay it!!! Jajajajaja enjoy
I love anything which hardcore enthusiasts hate. E bike all the way.
If i remember correctly the „e for easy“ were your words
They suck amps, if that counts.
Ebike haters need to look up Luddite on wiki 😉
They are too busy cycling.
Another great eBike video simply ruined by the end of it when the battery goes flat. Ebike manufacturers need to pay more attention to the distance traveled not only to the bikes best look. I've just got back from Brecon Beacons in Wales riding "the Gap" etc doing daily 35-45 miles with very steep hills and still having some life left on the end of each day in my 20Ah (1000Wh) eBike battery. Peace ❣️❣️❣️
Now if you want to REALLY "level up" your ride you have to try your E-genius with a 29" front wheel. Trust me, you'll never go back!
Hi Scotty - great showcase for the riding in our area! My eldest was out riding the day you filmed this, celebrating end of exams. His edit is here - with a surprise ending... drive.google.com/file/d/18I917ppEBTevfADLiJ-DLqs2m4CFLLSM/view?usp=drivesdk
Scotty why don't you wear riding gloves? 🤔
only people that have not tried one say it sucks
second 😂
오~~ 굿good 1등
1등~~
Ebikes do suck.
"it's fast uphill"... well no kidding, its a moped. Lame attempt at a commercial
No commercial it’s genuine!
"Moped". Sigh... did you type this on your smart phone or computer or tablet ? Why don't you send your comments in by post ? Ohhhh is that exploiting technology too ? Pidgeon ? No. Why not walk and just tell him you .........
John Robinson you couldn't sound more idiotic.. your comparisons are a wild stretch at best 🤣 move along
Rode them. Don’t care for them or all the hype. It’s really a different sport.
Not interest in the least. Getting tired and push YOURSELF is the point. In the highest setting, the motor is doing most of the work. No thanks.
*Getting tired and pushing yourself is the point.
Barry Quinn hey Barry! Some of what I climbed in this was unrideable without the motor!!
Barry Quinn having fun in my limited spare time is the point.
I get more miles and enjoyment out of my
e-mtb than I do my normal bike, in fact my other bike is gathering dust.
andrew england then you should put it on your trainer at home and plug it into your tablet. Then you could have some donuts while you virtual bike.
andrew england also, do you want to sell your bike? I'm looking for a new full suspension.
Stop making Scott promo vids and make it more personal. Feels like I'm watching a long Scott commercial. I know...those are his sponsors.
Bob Scholke You are asking him to stop making a living and keep entertaining you for free... wake up :)
Nice paid advertisement...
Ugh. No! Genuine first ride of my new bike!
Ebikes are for lazy people in my opinion
Mannie Kurensky try one?? Riding up the steep sections you’ll be sweating and out of breath just smiling cause you just climbed up stuff you couldn’t!
will do so thanks but iam staying at my xc racing
Shows that you never actually ridden one.
Here is the counterpart of your view.
"Normal bikes are for dumb people in my opinion"
See how it sounds?
Its just the next logical step.
If you like going without ebikes its totally fine, but slandering others because they use a smarter way of doing things and make it easier on themselves (not even that in most cases) and can have more fun, is just showing what kind of human you are.
Either jealous, salty or bitter.
Otherwise there is no explanation why you judge other people by standards you set for yourself.
If other people like them, let them.
Whats got it to do with you?
And you never even tried them, which makes even more ridicoulus.
Read my comment in my opinion
Doesnt have anything to do with you slandering people as lazy who ride ebikes.
Ride/test them before you form an opinion and set those standards for yourself.
What do you gain out of judging others as lazy anyway?
Damn, that thing is ugly
I'm glad they're illegal in my area, and I'm unsubscribed
Worth watching.
Ignoring it doesn't mean its going away.
Dominic Da Silva it's illegal, so it is going away
Greg Webster why’s that? Trust me as soon as you hope on you realise just how fun they are...
Scotty Laughland I'm sure it's a blast, but it's not cycling. If you want to ride a motorcycle it's fine, but it's not self propelled vehicle. I think it's everything that's wrong with cycling today.
Greg Webster it combines the disadvantages of motorcycling and bicycling:
- bike is heavy 22 kg and you can’t move a shit, when battery is down
- riding e makes you weaker and not stronger
- you are loosing cardiology fitness
But, in case you are a topfit biker, and you want to ride some miles with your not 100% fit wive, e-bikes can make here equal
Same, if you want to ride with your kids
Same if somebody with a Prothese on one leg wants to join sport in the nature
Same if you are very old and have problems with your knees
anything else: ebike just limits your potential
