Scott Solace Gravel Ultimate Carbon E-Gravel Bike chrome silver

TQ is a German company founded in 1994 who specialize in electric components across a range of industries. With the HPR50, they simply rewrote the rules, delivering an unprecedented weight/power ratio of 1.8 kg for 50Nm. With a diameter of 8 cm, TQ has innovated by using a harmonic gear system. This allows for a reduction of size, while also increasing the accuracy of the system. This results in a lighter bike, better integration, while reducing backlash for a more natural pedalling sensation. This technology also allows for the reduction in system noise for a truly natural experience. After all, you are in the outdoors to, well, enjoy the outdoors.

TW features a 360Wh internal battery which can be further complemented by a 160Wh external range extender. Thanks to TQ’s electronic expertise, the HPR50 battery, when combined with the range extender, guarantees maximum performance right through until empty. TQ use specific battery cells to ensure both the battery and range extender continue at full output, even as it reaches low capacity. The system can be charged with the range extender in place, the smart charger, prioritising the bike battery’s charge first, so you’ll never be caught short when heading out to ride.

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.

In addition to the 360Wh battery integrated in downtube, all Solace models are prepared to use an additional 160Wh range extender. The Solace’s range extender comes as an accessory and looks like a simple water bottle. Utilising a 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.

All Solace eRIDEs are equipped with the Smartbox, a small device enabeling Scott to retain a high level of integration as it allows everything to be connected to the main battery. This means, shifters and lights are connected and charged directly through the main battery, and gives you less chargers to keep track off.

Solace eRIDE is light-ready and using the smart box in the toptube it is possible to directly connect compatible light systems to the main battery. From MY24, the Solace will make it even easier to stay visible at all times during the day as a rear light is neatly integrated in the seatpost. The light is powered by the main battery and turns on whenever your bike does.

The Solace offers ultimate flexibility to the end consumer with tire clearance up to 50c, enables a versatile platform of two bikes. The road version will feature 38c tires and the gravel version comes with massive 50c tires.

Fender kits are available for both Solace Road and Gravel from Syncros.
