Summary of the M2S All Terrain Scout Review
Today, we’re diving into the world of the M2S All Terrain Scout. I took this rugged beauty for a spin along the Jordan River Trail, a path that stretches through the Salt Lake Valley, and let me tell you, it was an adventure worth every second!
Initial Impressions
First things first, M2S stands for “Mountains to Sea,” which perfectly encapsulates the essence of this versatile e-bike. It’s not just a road or a hybrid bike; it’s an all-terrain powerhouse. Outfitted with fat tires, front suspension, and an array of commuter-friendly accessories, the Scout is ready for both urban commutes and off-road escapades.
Walkaround and Features
The standout feature of this bike is undoubtedly its four-inch-wide fat tires on 20-inch wheels. These tires provide excellent cushioning, which compensates for the lack of rear suspension. Combine this with front suspension and you’ve got a ride that can handle rough terrain with ease. The metal fenders are a nice touch, especially when you’re splashing through puddles or mud.
The Scout also boasts a sturdy build with a front suspension fork featuring 135mm of travel, which isn’t exactly mountain bike level, but it’s enough to smooth out bumps on trails. Plus, it has a handy lockout feature for more efficient road riding. The adjustable stem and swept-back handlebars offer a comfortable riding position, making long rides enjoyable.
Comfort and Convenience
Comfort is key with the Scout. The wide, cushy tires, front suspension, and comfortable grips and saddle ensure a smooth ride. Even though it’s designed for off-road use, the bike includes practical commuting features like a rear rack, front basket, and integrated lights powered by the main battery. The rear rack is particularly well-designed to accommodate various pannier bags, making it perfect for grocery runs or carrying gear.
Braking and Safety
Safety is paramount, and the Scout doesn’t disappoint. It’s equipped with mechanical disc brakes from Tektro, offering reliable stopping power. These brakes also feature an electric cutoff switch that disengages the motor when the brakes are applied, adding an extra layer of safety. And for a bit of whimsy, there’s a built-in bell on the brake lever—easy to miss, but a charming detail once you find it.
Electric System and Performance
Now, let’s talk about the heart of the beast—the electric system. The Scout houses a 48V 10Ah battery, providing ample power for those adventurous rides. It powers a 500W Bafang geared motor that peaks at 750W, delivering robust performance whether you’re climbing hills or cruising flat trails. The bike uses a 12-magnet cadence sensor for pedal assist, which, while not the most discreet, gets the job done efficiently.
The handlebar-mounted display is user-friendly, showing all the essential metrics like speed, distance, and battery level. It also controls the pedal assist levels (from 0 to 5) and activates the lights.
On the Trail
Taking the Scout on the trail was an exhilarating experience. The bike handled various terrains—from bark dust to slick river paths—like a champ. The fat tires provided excellent traction and stability, making tight turns and rough patches a breeze. The bike’s size and weight (about 65 pounds) were well-balanced, ensuring a comfortable and confident ride.
Conclusion
Overall, the M2S All Terrain Scout is a fantastic option for those seeking a versatile e-bike that can handle both daily commutes and weekend adventures. It’s comfortable, robust, and packed with practical features. If you’re in the market for an all-terrain e-bike that’s as fun to ride as it is functional, the Scout might just be your perfect match.
