Where to buy
The Scott Patron ST 900 is priced at £9,299, which looks demanding when compared to similar mountain bikes from the same year. Its premium positioning suggests a focus on high-end components and performance, though this may come with a higher cost than some alternatives in the category.
Compared with similar mountain bike e-bikes on Bikkerr, this model sits £3,640.93 above average
The Scott Patron ST 900 is listed at £9,299, which places it at the higher end of the price spectrum when compared with similar mountain e-bikes from 2025. It offers strong battery capacity and torque support that stand out against many rivals, and the power-to-weight ratio is particularly favourable for this type of bike, which should help with performance on rough terrain. However, the charging time of around 6.9 hours is longer than some similar models, which could be a consideration for riders who need quick turnaround between rides. For a mountain e-bike, the balance of battery strength, motor support and suspension makes it a compelling option for serious off-road use, but the price is demanding and buyers should weigh whether the performance gains justify the cost. Riders prioritising long-range capability and strong hill support are most likely to see the value in this package.

This explanation is based on the bike’s motor power, torque, battery capacity, claimed range, charging
time, sensor type and how those figures compare with similar e-bikes in our database.
eBike FAQs
Is this bike suitable for challenging off-road trails?
The Scott Patron ST 900 is well-suited for challenging off-road trails, thanks to its mountain bike design, front and rear suspension, and strong torque that helps with climbing. However, the average range of 60 miles and slower charging time may require careful planning for longer rides or multiple charging stops.
How does the motor perform when climbing steep hills?
The motor should handle steep hills effectively, thanks to its 85 Nm of torque and 600 W of power, which are above average for similar mountain e-bikes. This should provide strong support when climbing challenging terrain, though you may need to manage your speed and gear selection for the best performance. The torque sensor should also help deliver power more naturally, making climbs feel more controlled and less abrupt.
Is the battery capacity sufficient for long rides on rough terrain?
The battery capacity of 800 watt-hours is above average for similar mountain e-bikes, which should provide good support for long rides on rough terrain. However, the range of 60 miles is broadly in line with similar e-bikes, so you may need to plan for charging stops on very long or demanding rides. The removable battery adds practicality for charging and storage, which is helpful for multi-day trips or extended off-road adventures.
How comfortable is the bike on rough roads and uneven trails?
The Scott Patron ST 900 should offer a comfortable ride on rough roads and uneven trails, thanks to its front and rear suspension system, which should help absorb shocks and vibrations. The 29-inch wheels and Schwalbe tires are designed for off-road use, providing good grip and stability over rough terrain. While it's not optimized for daily commuting, it should handle trail riding and uneven surfaces well, making it a solid choice for mountain biking enthusiasts.
How long does it take to charge the battery, and is that a drawback?
The battery takes approximately 6.9 hours to charge, which is above average for similar mountain e-bikes. While the charging time is longer than some competitors, the removable battery design makes it easier to charge at home or on the go. This shouldn't be a major drawback for most riders, especially if you plan to charge overnight or have access to a second battery for extended trips.
Is this bike a good value option compared to similar mountain e-bikes?
This bike has strong features like a high battery capacity and good motor power, which are above average for similar mountain e-bikes. However, the price is higher than most comparable models, which may make it less of a value option unless you prioritize specific features like off-road capability and battery flexibility. The chain drive system may also require more maintenance compared to other drive types, which is something to consider when evaluating overall value.
How easy is it to lift or carry the bike when needed?
The Scott Patron ST 900 weighs 24.3 kg, which is typical for a mountain e-bike and may feel heavy when lifting or carrying, especially over long distances or up stairs. However, the removable battery adds some convenience, as you can take it out for charging without needing to lift the whole bike. If you frequently need to carry the bike, you may want to consider additional support like a bike lift or rack.
What are the main compromises or trade-offs of this bike?
The main compromises of this bike include a relatively slow charging time compared to similar e-bikes, which may be inconvenient if you need to recharge frequently. It also lacks a folding frame, which limits storage options, especially if you need to carry it indoors or on public transport. Additionally, the chain drive system, while reliable, requires more maintenance and cleaning than alternatives like belt drives, which could be a consideration for riders who prefer low-maintenance setups.
