Overview
The Scott Aspect eRIDE 940 2024 is a mountain bike designed for trail riding, offering a solid balance of motor support and trail control. With a 600W motor and 75Nm of torque, it provides smooth assistance for climbing and navigating rough terrain, while the hydraulic disc brakes offer confident stopping power. The removable battery adds convenience for charging and storage, though the relatively low battery capacity and average range of 40km may require more frequent recharging on longer rides. At 25.9kg, it's a bit heavier than average, which might make lifting the bike more challenging, but its aluminium frame and front suspension keep it lively and well-suited for off-road adventures.
Best For
✓
This mountain e-bike should suit riders who enjoy trail riding and want a balance of performance and practicality on rough terrain. Its responsive motor and confident braking make it a solid choice for riders prioritising control and comfort on uneven trails. The removable battery adds flexibility for charging away from the bike, which is especially useful for longer rides or multi-day adventures. Riders who value a well-rounded mountain e-bike with good off-road capability and ease of use may find this model particularly appealing.
Who Should Avoid It
×
Riders planning long off-road rides may want to compare alternatives, as the battery capacity is below average for similar mountain e-bikes, which could limit range on extended trails. Riders who prioritize faster charging may also find the 5-hour charge time slower than some competitors in the same category. However, the bike still offers good trail control and braking confidence, making it a solid choice for shorter or more technical mountain rides where these features are prioritized.

This mountain e-bike offers a strong motor output for its category, providing assistance that should feel lively and responsive on trails. Next to similar models, its motor support is likely to feel more dynamic, especially when climbing or navigating rough terrain. The torque and cadence sensor setup should help maintain a natural and predictable feel, balancing responsiveness with control. The power-to-weight ratio should make the assistance feel more lively in real riding, though the battery capacity is more modest, which may affect longer rides. Riders looking for a trail-focused e-bike with strong climbing support and a balanced ride feel should find this motor setup well-suited to their needs.
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 long off-road rides?
This mountain bike is well-suited for off-road trails, with a 600W motor and 75Nm of torque providing strong support for climbing and navigating rough terrain. The hydraulic disc brakes offer confident stopping power, which is essential for trail riding. However, the 40-mile range may require more frequent recharging on longer rides, and the bike's 25.9kg weight might make it slightly more challenging to carry or lift compared to lighter models.
How does the motor perform when climbing steep trails?
The motor should provide strong support when climbing steep trails, thanks to its 600W power and 75Nm of torque, which is above average for similar mountain e-bikes. The power-to-weight ratio also compares well with similar e-bikes, which should help with hill climbing. However, the motor's power delivery may feel slightly less smooth in some situations, though the torque and cadence sensor should help manage assistance more naturally.
Does the removable battery make it easier to charge and store?
Yes, the removable battery does make charging and storage more convenient, as you can take the battery indoors to charge it safely without leaving it on the bike. This is especially useful if you're riding in wet or muddy conditions. However, the battery capacity is below average for similar e-bikes, which means you may need to charge it more frequently, even with the convenience of removal.
Is the bike's weight a problem for carrying or handling?
The bike weighs 25.9 kg, which is on the heavier side for a mountain e-bike, so it may feel more challenging to lift or carry, especially when alone. However, the weight is typical for this category, and the removable battery adds practicality for charging and storage. The frame is designed for off-road use, so the weight is balanced for trail performance rather than portability.
How does the battery range compare to similar mountain e-bikes?
The battery range of 40 miles is below average for similar mountain e-bikes, which may impact longer rides on rough terrain. However, the battery capacity of 500 watt-hours is also below average, which contributes to this range limitation. The charging time of 5 hours is in line with similar e-bikes, and the removable battery adds practicality for charging and storage, which is a positive feature for mountain e-bike users.
Is this bike good value for the price?
This bike offers a good balance of performance and price for a mountain e-bike. While the battery capacity and range are below average for similar models, the motor power and power-to-weight ratio are strong, which helps with climbing and trail control. The removable battery adds practicality for charging and storage, and the price is favourable compared to other e-bikes in this category.
How comfortable is the ride on rough terrain?
The Scott Aspect eRIDE 940 2024 offers decent comfort on rough terrain thanks to its front suspension, which should help absorb bumps from trails and uneven paths. However, since it's a mountain e-bike with front suspension only, it may not be as smooth on very rough or rocky terrain compared to full-suspension models. The hydraulic disc brakes also provide confident stopping power, which is important for maintaining control on rough trails.
What are the main compromises of this bike compared to others in its class?
Compared to similar mountain e-bikes, this model has a lower battery capacity and range, which may require more frequent charging on longer rides. While the motor power is above average, the bike's weight is slightly higher, which could make it a bit harder to lift or maneuver in tight spaces. However, the removable battery offers flexibility for charging and storage, and the hydraulic disc brakes should provide confident stopping power on trails.
