See you on the trails...

Looking for stats? This is how far we managed to ride: goo.gl/YM8ghK
Few additional stops for filming but other than that not bad! Climbing on this bike is so much fun... Are you a eRIDE fan?
100%.. specially during summer. High temps here in CO + stiff climbs are gnarly.
I've an eGenius 700 tuned and flippin love it! Can go places I couldn't before with the (excellent) Shimano motor taking the sting outta the climbs so I can enjoy the rest without being in 'recovery mode' after a big climb. And for people saying its cheating and too easy - you should see my HR readings in Strava. FAR from easy - I'm just going much faster and further. :D
Great video scott! love your style and bike. Cheers!
For people wondering and not wanting to click the link, Scotty rode:
12.6 miles
1925 ft of ascending
1900 ft of descending
average speed: 9.0 mph
Total time: 1 hour and 24 minutes
Thanks for sharing but take those stats with a pinch of salt as I was out for 5 hours filming this and the bike was on the whole time!
No need to defend. First of all 9mph on single track is respectable. Then add the elevation. And for a first test you tried all of the modes? Maybe ECO the first time around ;-)@@ScottyLaughland
12.6 miles and 1900ft is really bad...
I have a hybrid tourer with 300Wh battery but I ride with the assistance OFF on the flat and downhill. I use ECO virtually all other times with very rare use of TOUR, SPORT and TURBO and my accumulated range on a single charge is 90+ miles. However it is pretty flat where I live and I ride purely for exercise as I am suffering heart failure and spinal degradation plus I am 70 years of age. The motor is purely to help me if I struggle; it's my safety net if you like. If I were to use my old bike I simply like would nor dare not overdo it or get too far away from home. If it weren't for ebikes I doubt I would still be cycling, well not as I used to.
My emtb with 2.5 inch, low pressure dhf's with dh and dd casing only gets me about 20-60km with a 500 battery
I’m in a very similar position to you Steven, so I can relate. It’s like having a companion with you to help if needed.
Well Scotty, I'm just into my second week of ownership. I've done 5 rides and covered 100 miles. Battery consumption is averaging out at 25 miles before red light comes on and longest ride 30 miles. I was surprised at how easy it is to ride given the 52 LB weight. Lifting over gates and walls is a lot easier than I expected but that's probably because I'm buzzing all the time I'm in the saddle. Down hill she's like a missile only contained by my 57 year old brain. Thanks for the fantastic videos without which I'd still be scratching my bald head wondering.... I am absolutely in seventh heaven. Oh and now I've sussed out how to both create eBike Routes on Strava and find pre ridden routes in my area 'Life is Stava Sweet' n Just loving all these KOM's that keep popping up both up hill and down..... Not too shabby for "An Old Bloke just trying to keep fit and not kill himself in the process" as it says on my Stava Profile.
Any time you fancy a day out around the Rochdale hills and tracks give me a shout. Theres room for an overnighter at ours if you fancy it. My next Big Ride has to be the 'Marry Towneley Loop' Once I've saved enough up for a spare battery as its a good 50+ miles.
Well here's looking forward to your next instalment. All the best Raymondo.
That first climbing drone shot was beautiful! And damn, the second descent was *so* gnarly. Great vid man!
Thank you guys! 🤙
2:37 That noise you make when cold river water splashes up higher then you'd like
those trails look insanely good Scotty , another class video love it
Thanks man! I’m stoked you like it...
Great video. I just ordered my wife a 2019 Scott Genius e920. I was having a hard time find any good Scoot ebike videos. Yours is a great video and it gives me a lot more confidence in my puchase!
It’s an awesome bike! She’ll love it!! Glad to have been able to help...
ReALLY nice edit! Like the drone follow cam, gives an adventurous vibe =D
We’d planned more but it was so cold that the little batteries were drained!
You are a unique mtb rider in all trail conditions, and I think the e-bike also ,nice footage!!!
Thanks man!
Should be getting mine delivered soon. Can't wait.
I really enjoyed, thank you and wow lovely bike and scenery
Awesome man! I’m stoked to hear that!
ahaha thats so cool that theres a company called scott and your name is scotty it looks like its your personal bike , great video!
Finn and he lives in Scottland
@@Lukeanicic What a lad
Cool story bro
Nice one Scotty
If you could give the miles and elevation gain that would be cool 👍
I use a 4.5 mm neoprene battery cover in the cold weather is makes a big difference in battery life.
Great hack, I'll bear it in mind!
I’ve just started to wrap a fleecy towel around the battery on my Focus Sam when I’m charging the bike seems to give a little more range
Nice ride on e-bike!
Nice vid scotty.
Another great vid mate. Were you or the filmer not carrying a pump?? I'm riding Cambusbarron for the first time on Thursday after seeing your vid from last week. Looking forward to it. Keep up the good work!
Awesome! Lemme know how you get on... It’s a fun little lap and there is plenty to explore!
Hi Scotty, Can't quite believe you hustled all 23 off KGs down those gnarly Dunkled single tracks. Well done. Having ridden in the Hermitage I can see lots of laps on such an e bike and lots of scope to improve downhill. I have these questions: 1. Do you know if the battery in the bike is susceptible to more rapid depletion in cold conditions, much like camera and mobile phone batteries seem to diminish more rapidly ? Have you found that to be the case in the first 6-8 months ? 2. I note you put it in trail mode for descending. Can it be switched to off for descending to save battery juice ?
Have you also tried the Giant Fathom e+ as they are around the same price. I am think of getting one in the new year and undecided which one but around the 2k to 2.2k mark
Like it,even better hearing you say skytee 😉
Wooooow
I like this bike!!!!!
My best friend is waiting his new 920 e-genius to arrive 😍
Got mine 3 months ago 😍😍
Beast mode
Rider weight, motor and terrain are so important when it comes to battery range. Since I am a little bit shy from 70 kilos and I love pedaling uphill my battery always seems to outlast me, so I am super happy about my ebike being so efficient and lasting so long. I have never managed to fully drain a battery but I calculate it has around 4 hours of use or around 100-150km depending on many factors but. These things just keep getting better each year but if you really love pedaling for more than 4 hours I advice getting a bigger battery than 500 watts. There are 620-720 watt options in some ebikes or you could just carry another battery but then again, I doubt you will be able to run out of battery that easily if you are a lightweight. My bike is a Haibike Sduro LT 6.0 with a Yamaha SE motor btw. And I love enduro, so I climb pretty steep terrain and descend it.
That’s awesome to hear and thank you for sharing those tips!
cool vid man. E-Bikes seem so much fun. i think about em again when they can make 6 hours out. cycling back with a bike that weighs in at 25kg and no assist is no fun. thanks for the adventure!
This was 6 hours out there just not as much riding cause we stopped and shot a lot!
@@ScottyLaughland but could the bike do a marathon ride?
I love my new Scott ransom .
Nice bruh!
What the best way to use the dropper lever it’s in a odd place?
Hi on trails that I know I will quite often turn the assist off but leave the system on which can equate up to between 2-3 Km,s range or the ability to get back to base on the last few kilometres on boost. Regards
Thanks for the tips. I actually did that on a ride this past week and it helped!!
Hey!Nice episode Scott.I have one question.What bike would you recommand me?My buget is 1000euros and I want a Full Suspension.Doesnt matter if it is second hand,but to look good.I have a XCM bike.But it is a hardtail.Thank you!
Hard question! 2nd hand is a great option for you to get something higher spec’d...
Thanks!
How much does the bike weight? When the engine is not working you feel any traction in the pedals?Anyway great video!
It weighs around 23kg. I don’t understand what you mean about traction when you aren’t pedalling?
Nice vid, very nice shots, riding, etc. but HOW FAR did you manage? With your title, I was expecting an idea of mileage and how much you think you used each mode. Would be really useful to potential buyers. Cheers, Chris.
he cant go specific with numbers, coz its sponsored video, only a locals may understand the distance, and time.
b1ker MTB Ah, I see, fairy nuff - shame though. I have an eGenius 700 tuned but only manage around 20 miles hard riding on the local trails. I’m using trail mode and boost up the hills. Curious how far you could get using eco mode more. Guess I’ll have to get off m’arse and find out myself. 😁 Cheers, Chris.
Sorry, don't buy that as an answer - he starts the video by saying the aim is to see how far he is going to get, listing off a few hills (1 minute in) - for all we know that loop could be 10km or 50km. It could have 200m of climbing or 2000m. It could have been an hours ride or 4hours. Don't need to know everything to the nearest cm and second but an indicative guide would make it useful to understand the context.
@@NJRD977 if you check the Komoot link it's all in there! Around 25km and 600m of pretty technical uphills and downhills! It was a good 3.5 hour ride that we made into 5.5 with getting additional shots!
@@chills996 check the Komoot link! It has all the information in there for the actual duration of the loop...
I was trying some other ebike with 500wh. I made 80km in mountains .Mostly on eco mode. I was charging twice in bars when was eating. I weight little over 100kg. I think that it is possible to run all day with new egenius with range extender. It is 1125wh. If you can quick charge on a break I think it is possible to spend all day with 625wh on eco and getting some boost on really steep climbs.
I'd guess if you ended up putting some foam insulation around your pack you'd probably be able to eek out a few more kms as cold derates a battery significantly (sometimes as much as 40% less from what I've heard)
I’ll have to experiment and see! But it was a cold one... Redo the challenge in summer??
@@ScottyLaughland It looked cold and frosty for sure. Definately warrants a second run in summer...mostly because being on two wheels is awesome :)
man if scott releases a ransom eride next year that'd be sweet.
But what where the stats? Distance and elevation gain on one charge?
With my bosch I can easily get 40kms or 800-1200 meters of elevation out of a 500 battery, but with my heavy maxxis dhf's and dd/dh casing it's at least 25% less, thinking of buying a second battery for long trail days 👍😂
Great ride. Is the speed on your display given in mph oder kph?
kmph!
Just wondering has anyone tried getting parts for E genius very hard, weeks...awesome track fast,good handling..
What’s best way to make this bike quieter riding?
Got my 2019 Scott eRide 920 almost 3 months ago, so for those who are interested in battery life here's my experience so far. I never ride in Boost mode, that's too much assistance for my liking, I'm usually in middle Trail mode and sometimes in Eco, when I want to put more effort in and save the battery. Battery indicator has 5 bars, it usually goes 15-16km per bar, which is around 10 miles. If there isn't too much climbing I can easily do 70km per battery. In vertical meters one bar usually gets me around 120m of ascent. And I'm quite heavy, close too 100kg. Lighter people should be able to get at least 10km or even more. Because it's winter I didn't have a chance to properly test it in the mountains on more demanding climbs, so this is based on regular roads and not too steep fire roads experience. I'm curious to see if warmer temperatures in spring will give me more range, but for real XC rides I'll have to get extra battery in spring. I'm not happy to put that weight in my backpack but 1 battery is just not enough for the long rides I like to do. I hope battery technology will improve in not too distant future. If they will be able to squeeze 700-1000Wh in this same battery housing, so that you can use it in this generation of bikes that would be awesome. If they change battery housing design with every new advancement, today's bikes will quickly become obsolete, and they are too expensive to become obsolete so soon. I can't give this much money for ebike every few years, hope Shimano thought of that when they were designing this battery pack
Aleksandar Gospić this is why i bought a focus jam 2 with added tec pack, 756 wh early last year, It is a bike that i have rode a 100 miles and still had power left on the tec pack battery, E bike manufacturers are making great looking bikes, But running well short on giving there bikes 700wh upwards of power, Nearly a year on after i bought my bike manufacturers of other e bikes are still building high priced bikes that are short on power, i think focus got it right first time round, it is both aesthetically pleasing to look at my e bike and fantastic for longer rides, Is still running long after 504wh bikes have packed up and run out ouf power.
Yeah, that's a clever solution by Focus, but it was out of my budget. I don't know why other manufacturers don't use the same concept. Still I'd like if that was 2 500Wh batteries instead of 378Wh. But 100 miles is impressive, I don't know how that is possible even with 756Wh, you must be very light?! Ebikes are great but batteries are the frustrating part definitely, it's annoying
Aleksandar Gospić it is a bike that is easy enough also to ride switched off, i do think e bike manufacturers are holding back on longer travel batteries, and yeah im 74kg
i rode 40 miles other day on my focus, on 378 wh, still had a bar left on it when i got back, In extreme riding cases i take the tec pack, For some strange reason i am getting a lot more miles out of my tec pack than the battery in the bike
Sounds great, I think that bike is also lighter than most ebikes, so when you add all that up it certainly helps with battery life
Cool video!!!)))
Great place for an ebike, you could have increased the range by running it in ECO mode on all of the descents and limiting the assist to TRAIL on the climbs. Take it to the Golfie next and try getting from the gate to the top in under 10 minutes 😉
I mean I probably should have but sometimes trail and boost is just too much fun. Easy to get carried away... 🤷♂️
@@ScottyLaughland 🤣 Absolutely, they are great toys.
I i'm looking to buy a genius 920 eride but 20km 600m with a full battery... it's really bad... maybe is best to look an other bike...
What was the distance, Like the description said ????????????
20km and 600m of climbing on a battery ?
Early boiiiiiiiis
The link for the tour is private :( the first one in your description
It should be good to go now! Thanks for noticing! :)
Same question here Scotty.. where u able to determine how many miles per batt. life u got? NICE VIDEO.
Click that Komoot link and you should find everything you need to know! :)
how many miles was the route
You can check all the stats on Komoot!
Scotty Laughland ah cool I’ll give it a look scotty
What size is this bike and how tall are you??? TIA
It’s a Large and I’m 189cm!
3 miles?
Didn’t catch how far you went before the battery died
It would be better to know your weight, how many kms and elevation gain was it...
78kgs, 25kms, mainly used trail and an elevation of 600m.
Scotty Laughland thank you for the info. 25kms and 600m only?! You must’ve been riding hard on that eBike. It is possible to do way more kms and elevation gain on a eBike, but of course, by managing the effort...
We were working hard, the terrain was steep and don’t forget we took multiples to get some of these shots!
You can ride even farther on a dirtbike! And you don't even have to pedal at all!
And if you want to be really good on your dirt bike, have some cardio.
Seat post was high on the decent
Ik zou die graag kopen ik heb nu juist en spark gekocht dus ik weet niet jongens 🦷😭😊😊😊
selamün aleyküm
would have taken me 3 days and 526 crashes :D
