Scott unveils the Fastlane, an electric road bike designed to give a discreet boost without dulling the feel of a conventional road bike.
With its sleek silhouette and TQ HPR40 motor cleanly integrated, the Fastlane is aimed at riders who want to climb higher, ride farther and retain the look of a pure road machine.
🚀 In short:
The Scott Fastlane is an electric road bike featuring the quiet TQ HPR40 motor.
Available in three versions, prices run from 6 799 € to 11 999 €.
It’s hard to tell it’s an electric-assist bike. The Fastlane borrows the lines of the new Scott Addict, sharing the same geometry and a frame that’s as slim as it is light.
The motor is housed entirely in the bottom bracket, the battery sits in the down tube, and there are no extra controls or screens cluttering the cockpit.
The result: a bike that’s smooth, quiet and visually identical – or very nearly – to a non-assisted model.
Scott’s goal is clear: preserve the sensations of a classic road bike while delivering subtle assistance when the gradient kicks up.
Scott turns to TQ, the German motor specialist already found on several high-end e-bikes.
The TQ HPR40 stands out for its quiet operation, compact form and near-invisible integration.
With 50 Nm of torque and progressive behaviour, it’s designed first and foremost to feel natural: the assistance stays in the background, simply supporting your effort when needed.
The three assistance levels are controlled from the levers, so you don’t have to take your hands off the bars.
A minimalist, bar-integrated display shows battery level and the active mode, backed up by LED indicators.
Tucked inside the down tube is a 290 Wh TQ battery, offering range suited to long rides.
Scott quotes a full charge in three hours with the new compact charger, which can be carried easily in a Syncros IS Road frame bag.
For long-distance ambitions, a 160 Wh range extender is available as an option.
Note: above 25 km/h, the assistance cuts out without drag, letting you hold a high pace without unwanted resistance.
The Fastlane goes all-in on integration:
This minimalist approach underlines the promise of simplicity: fewer cables, fewer distractions, more riding pleasure.
The Premium and Fastlane 10 builds receive the Syncros IC-R100-SL carbon cockpit, ensuring seamless cable integration.
All models also include the Syncros iS Drop Bar Tool 2, stowed in the handlebar for quick adjustments.
Announced models:
With the Fastlane, Scott has likely delivered one of the most discreet e-road bikes on the market, in direct competition with the Canyon Endurace ON:fly.
The TQ HPR40 system and geometry lifted from the new Addict point squarely at performance and endurance.
It’s aimed primarily at experienced riders who want to extend their rides without switching to a leisure-focused e-bike.
We’ll be keen to see whether real-world range and behaviour above 25 km/h live up to the promise out on the road.
