The Scott Solace Gravel eRIDE 10 is the electrified version of the popular Addict gravel bike. The TQ HPR 60 mini motor has more power after its update, but remains whisper-quiet. We have tested what else the Scott has to offer.
Topics in this article

With its voluminous carbon frame tubes, the Scott Solace looks like a beefed-up Addict Gravel. Together with the emphatically off-road-compatible tyres, this results in an overall concept in which the proportions appear somewhat more harmonious than on the related road version, the Solace Road. Compared to the original model, the version for the coming model year has been given an engine upgrade. Instead of the HPR 50, the more powerful HPR 60 from TQ sits in the frame.

A clear unique selling point is its remarkably low noise level; even in turbo mode, the small power cube is only subtly noticeable. However, with a lot of pressure on the crank, the engine did suffer brief misfires on very steep terrain and in summer temperatures.

According to TQ, the moderate heat resistance, a weak point of the HPR 50, should actually be a thing of the past. Under comparable test conditions, we have not yet noticed the low stability.

Operation via the controller behind the stem is more reliable. A front light can be retrofitted like mudguards, the range extender is standard.

Parallels to the Scott Addict Gravel

Overall, the Scott quickly felt familiar to our testers. The cockpit, riding position and directional stability are based on the Addict Gravel. The preferred terrain is therefore gravel motorways. Thanks to 50-millimetre rollers, the Solace Gravel can also take on rougher terrain under the tyres, but the course should not be too winding due to the sluggish steering behaviour. In addition to the Solace series, the Swiss company offers two other E-platforms with racing handlebars. At 9999 euros, the test bike is the second most expensive variant in the portfolio.
