Scott Ransom eRIDE 2022

From £5,449

The 2022 Ransom eRIDE was Scott's full-power electric enduro bike: an aluminium frame with 180mm of Virtual 4 Link (Horst-link) travel at both ends, 29in wheels, and Bosch's 85Nm Performance Line CX Gen 4 motor fed by a 625Wh PowerTube battery with the simple Purion display. A flip chip on the upper shock mount gave high and low settings and allowed mullet or full 27.5in wheel conversion.The two-trim ladder was straightforward. The 910 (£6,499) paired a Fox 38 Performance Elite GRIP2 fork and Float X2 Performance shock with a SRAM X01/NX Eagle drivetrain and Shimano XT four-piston brakes on 203mm rotors, and was strong value for the money. The 920 (£5,449) swapped to a RockShox ZEB, a Shimano XT/Deore mix and MT520 brakes on the same frame, battery and suspension travel.Geometry was stable rather than radical: a 64 degree head angle, long 465mm chainstays and roomy reach figures, though tall seat tubes and standover limited sizing up. BikeRadar rated the 910 at 3.5/5 in its 2022 eMTB Bike of the Year test, praising the intuitive handling and Bosch motor while criticising the fast-rolling EXO+ Dissector rear tyre.The model is discontinued. It carried over into a near-identical 2023 range at higher prices before the line was dropped; the gravity end of Scott's e-bike range has since been taken over by the Voltage eRIDE.

Geometry read

What the numbers mean on the trail

Computed from this bike's geometry, spec and build kit — reach, wheelbase, chainstay, head and seat angles, travel, motor, weight and the fork/tyre/brake spec — and worked out per size, because a fixed chainstay can make an S and an XL feel very different.

Size

Descending

Slack 64° head angle, 180mm travel and a long 1287mm wheelbase — composed in the chunk, confident when it gets steep, and stable through fast corners.

Playfulness

A fair bit of pop, but happiest on flowing trail rather than trials moves.

Size balance

Rear-long with a planted front in L (FC:RC 1.77) — easy to weight the front and quick to turn, though it can feel light at the back at real speed.

Technical climbing

Bosch Performance Line CX Gen 4 and a steep 76.1° seat angle keep the weight planted over the front — a proper winch. 600W of peak power and 85Nm of torque — a strong full-power motor.

Best suited toFast, steep, rough tracks — and riders who want maximum composure.

Rewards commitment; it should feel calmer as the speed rises.

Watch out forNo major red flags in the L geometry.

The numbers are well balanced for its category.

⚙️ Adjustable geometry: this frame has a high/low setting — low drops the BB and slackens the head angle for more descending stability; high lifts the BB and steepens slightly for clearance and a perkier, more playful feel.

Computed from geometry + spec, not a paid review. Scores are guidance, not gospel.
