The E-Bike Range Anxiety Dilemma
Every e-bike enthusiast knows the sinking feeling when the battery indicator drops into the red zone mid-ride. That moment when you realize your planned 50-mile gravel adventure might end at mile 32 with a long push home.
Many riders attempt makeshift solutions – carrying bulky power banks, limiting their routes to known charging stations, or worse, abandoning rides altogether. These compromises steal the joy of spontaneous exploration that makes e-biking magical.
The SCOTT eRIDE TQ Range Extender Battery changes this narrative completely. This 160Wh power boost integrates seamlessly with your Lumen or Solace eRIDE system, transforming range anxiety into unlimited riding confidence.
Engineering Excellence: The Anatomy of Extended Freedom
Physical Structure
The SCOTT eRIDE TQ Range Extender features a rugged aluminum casing with IP67 waterproof rating, weighing just 1.2kg for optimal portability. Its compact dimensions (180x80x45mm) allow flexible mounting options without compromising bike handling.
Power Architecture
Utilizing premium 18650 lithium-ion cells arranged in a 10S2P configuration, the battery delivers stable 36V output with advanced thermal management. The smart BMS (Battery Management System) prevents overcharging and deep discharge, extending cycle life beyond 800 charges.
Integration Mechanism
The range extender works in harmony with your main battery through TQ’s proprietary HPR50 motor system. When the primary battery drops to 20%, the extender automatically engages, providing seamless power transition without pedal interruption.
User Experience
The LED charge indicator (25% increments) and universal USB-C port add practical functionality. Compatible with SCOTT’s eRIDE app, riders can monitor both batteries’ status in real-time through their smartphone.

From Range Anxiety to Unlimited Adventure: A Rider’s Journey
Initial State
Sarah, a weekend gravel rider, constantly cut her 40-mile routes short when her e-bike battery dipped below 30%, fearing she wouldn’t make it home.
Trigger Event
During a group ride, she had to bail early again, missing the best single-track section everyone was raving about at the post-ride beers.
Product Intervention
After installing the SCOTT Range Extender, Sarah completed her first metric century (100km) with battery to spare, including that legendary single-track she’d always missed.
Cognitive Shift
“I don’t check my battery meter every 5 minutes anymore. Now I just ride where the trail takes me – that’s why I got an e-bike in the first place!”
“The range extender transformed my commute. I can now do my 34-mile round trip to the office without charging at work, even with hilly terrain. It pays for itself in saved train fares in just three weeks.”
