Magnum Scout Overview
The Magnum Scout is a rugged, high-performance fat tire e-bike designed to tackle various terrains with ease and stability. This bike features a high-step frame that offers increased stiffness and durability, making it ideal for adventurous riders. Unlike its sibling, the Magnum Nomad, which has a mid-step frame and a more upright riding position, the Scout is built for tougher conditions with its non-adjustable stem and more aggressive tire treads.
The Scout is equipped with Kenda fat tires (26×4 inches), which are perfect for traversing dry sand, marshy terrain, or packed snow when the tire pressure is adjusted between 5 to 30 PSI. The reflective sidewall stripes and integrated front and rear lights enhance visibility and safety, making it a reliable choice for various environments.
One of the standout features of the Magnum Scout is its price point, which starts at $2,599. This is slightly higher than the Nomad, but the Scout offers superior tires, a stiffer frame, and additional mounting points. The bike weighs approximately 73.5 pounds, depending on the battery option chosen. Speaking of batteries, the Scout offers two options: a standard 17.5 Ah battery or an upgraded 19.2 Ah battery for just $100 more. This flexibility allows for extended range and better performance on long rides.
The bike is designed with practicality in mind, featuring multiple mounting points for accessories such as bottle cages and front trays. The rear rack is removable and comes with a triple bungee system, pannier hangers, and compatibility with child seats. Additionally, the custom plastic fenders provide excellent coverage without the noise and rust issues associated with metal fenders.
The Scout’s suspension fork, with its compression lockout and preload adjust, ensures a smooth ride on various terrains. The double leg kickstand, while adding some weight, offers stability when parked, though it can be a strike point when riding over obstacles. The drivetrain is basic but functional, featuring a Shimano Altus 14-28t freewheel and a 52-tooth steel chainring with a guard.
The bike’s hydraulic disc brakes, branded Logan, offer reliable stopping power with adjustable reach levers and motor inhibitors. The large SIS index shifter, although entry-level, is easy to operate even with gloves. The Scout’s display provides essential information such as battery level, speed, and assist level, with the option to engage walk mode and control the integrated lights.
Overall, the Magnum Scout is a versatile and capable fat tire e-bike that excels in various conditions. Its robust design, practical features, and competitive pricing make it a great choice for adventurous riders looking for a reliable and fun off-road experience.
