a very brief review of a new bike (scott addict rc eride)

[Rás Cnoic]

I understand the drives are very different, but does it really matter to the rider or do they "taste" the same?

Interesting. First reviews of the Canyon with HRP40 will be coming out. They claim zero drag, hopefully that is more than marketing hype.

Hop over to this other thread. Yako a member is testing/reviewing the Canyon Endurace ON. He's only had a couple of rides on the bike but zero problems riding it unassisted or over the cut off. He's got it for 2 months from Canyon & will be fully reviewing it on his YT channel.

Another new TQ motor: hpr40

And thanks for the link, Jeremy.

i resolved my major complaint about this bike, which was a very annoying rattle coming from somewhere around the headset / stem / top tube on any sharp bumps.

removed the HMI controller (the little button and light on the top tube) and it has three surplus connectors coming from it and from the battery- fairly hard plastic wires, fairly long, with little hard plastic black connectors. nothing to keep them from bouncing around in the top tube. wrapped them with foam, stuck them back in, and the bike is now completely silent. poor work by scott to leave them loose like that, but a very easily fixed issue.

it's kind of irritating how very far off the built in power meter is - about 20% on average and quite a bit more on peaks (maybe it averages more), but it doesn't really matter since the assist ratios can be set high enough to deliver full power with very little rider input. this is definitely not a bike for everyone but for the intended purpose, it's a better fit than just about anything else out there.

Hi mschwett,
I just got a Scott Addict RC eRide 20. I have been out on in for two spins and it is great but I have the same rattle on bumpy roads.
I tried taking out the HMI Controller, and while the end with the bolt comes up easily, the other end nearer the handle bars isn’t inclined to come up and I am afraid to use too much force in case I break something.
How did you get the HMI Controller out. Am I being too cautious.
Any advice would be appreciated.

it’s a very tight fit. i remember quite a lot of wiggling and coaxing and testing various directions to see if there was a clip or pin or additional fastener, and i’m pretty sure there wasn’t.
