Scott Fastlane 20 Carbon E-Road Bike carbon black

The new HPR40 drive unit from TQ is even more discreet, compact and lighter than previous generations. The motor takes the riding experience to a new level, making the pedal efficient as on a mechanical bike. The pedaling drag is minimal and the assistance kicks in and out unnoticeable, you won’t feel when the ride is powered by you or assisted by TQ. The three assistance modes allow the rider to adapt to the ride intensity or day form. With the system being more than 1000g lighter than the previous one, it adds on to the lightweight feel of the bike.

The sleek silhouette of the Fastlane is hiding a 290Wh battery and it’s capable enough for longer days outside, searching for your new favorite roads. The new battery from TQ is more efficient, which gives more KMs for less Wh. The charging time up to 100% is only 3h and with the new charger, petite enough to be fitted in your back pocket, you can re-charge while having a coffee break when you’re out exploring.

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.

For keeping the ride free from too many distractions, the bike is kept clean by limiting displays and bigger controls. There's only a discreet controller at the end of the drops for turning the bike on/off.

For changing the riding modes, simply use the hood buttons, more convenient access results in safer riding. By connecting the bike to your bike computer via ANT+, you get all the stats you need for your ride, right in front of you.

An electric road bike shouldn’t look or feel heavy - it should be just like the Fastlane.

The frame weighs only 865g, and together with the new, lightweight drive unit system from TQ and the aero features of the bike design, it’s made to save watts - battery watts! While being lightweight, it still has an endurance focused geometry and up to 38mm of tire clearance which ensures a comfortable ride on the climbs, and confident inspiring fly in the descents.

The design of the Fastlane extends to the management of all power on the bike- the onboard 290Wh battery powers everything. By hard wiring, the rear light, shifters and the drive unit into the main battery, there’s only one battery that needs to be charged. This means less cables to keep track of, and more time to map out the next route.

In addition to the battery integrated in downtube, all SCOTT TQ-powered eROAD and eGRAVEL bikes are compatible with an additional 160Wh range extender. The range extender comes as an accessory and looks like a simple water bottle. Utilizing the SCOTT specific quick-release system, the range extender is easy to swap in for a bottle cage, tool free. Thanks to TQ’s expertise and unique cell efficiency, battery capacity is optimized to the fullest. The e-bike’s system automatically adapts to having two power sources with SMART technology.
