SCOTT Fastlane

SCOTT designed the Fastlane for cyclists who love to ride, but also appreciate an e-bike’s unique ability to enable more time on the bike, riding further, climbing higher, and taking the edge off hard days, while also making recovery days more lively. Built on the brand’s HMX carbon frameset with fully integrated cable routing, a sleek charging port, and an internal 290Wh (wattage hour) battery, it’s a masterclass in minimalism and performance. The TQ system’s whisper-quiet e-assist, customizable via the bar-end display or smartphone app, ensures every ride feels organic, and never overpowered.

Who the SCOTT Fastlane is For: 

• The Purist: you appreciate the undeniable torque and endurance an e-road bike brings to the table, but don’t want to give up the ride feel and experience of a true road bike.
  
  
• The Climber: you love to dig deep, scaling the steepest of grades and highest of peaks, but wouldn’t mind the boost or additional miles that an e-road bike affords.
  
  
• The Traditionalist: you love a sleek, classic road bike silhouette, and don’t believe the addition of a motor & battery should mess with decades of form and function.
