The Bakcou Scout electric mountain bike transforms challenging terrain into accessible adventures with its powerful Bafang Ultra mid-drive motor and robust 19-inch aluminum frame. This large-frame configuration accommodates riders seeking serious off-road capability without compromising on comfort or control.
What Makes This Different
The Scout's Bafang Ultra mid-drive motor delivers 1000W of peak power and 160Nm of torque, significantly outperforming hub-drive alternatives in steep terrain and technical climbs. The motor's central placement maintains optimal weight distribution, while the 11-speed SRAM NX drivetrain with 11-42t cassette provides exceptional gear range for both motor-assisted and manual pedaling scenarios.
Key Features
- Bafang Ultra mid-drive motor with 1000W peak power and 160Nm torque output
- 19-inch matte black aluminum frame designed for riders 5'10" to 6'4"
- SRAM NX 11-speed drivetrain with 11-42t cassette for versatile gearing
- Integrated battery system with lockable mounting and weather-resistant housing
- Heavy-duty components rated for off-road and hunting applications
- Wide-tire clearance accommodating aggressive tread patterns up to 27.5" x 2.8"
- Reinforced rear rack mounting points for gear and equipment transport
Field performance demonstrates the Scout's capability across diverse terrain, from steep hunting trails to technical mountain paths. The mid-drive system maintains traction on loose surfaces where rear hub motors lose grip, while the wide gear range allows efficient pedaling at speeds from 3 mph trail crawling to 25+ mph on fire roads. Weather-sealed electrical connections and corrosion-resistant frame coating ensure reliable operation in harsh outdoor conditions.
