2026 Bakcou™ Scout Medium 17.5 AMP Hours

This full suspension beast was born and bred to conquer the mountains.

Bakcou’s first sport-trail full-suspension fat-tire e-bike, the Scout combines the geometry and agility of the Storm and Carbon Alpha with the raw power of Bafang’s Ultra mid-drive motor to create an all-terrain machine for hunters and trail riders. The heart of the Scout is Bafang’s Ultra M620 mid-drive motor, which can be set to 750 W (Class 1/2/3) or 1000W (unlimited) modes and delivers up to 160 Nm of torque—often dubbed the “diesel engine” of e-bike motors. This smart motor features sensors for cadence, speed, and torque, providing a natural pedalling feel and adjusting power instantly when you climb, accelerate, or shift gears.

The Scout’s full-suspension frame is crafted from lightweight 6061-aluminium and pairs a 140mm air-fork up front with a RockShox Monarch rear shock, smoothing out rocky descents and technical climbs. Maxxis Minion 26 ×4.0 inch tires provide fat-tire flotation on loose surfaces, while the bike’s slack head-tube angle and unique geometry give it nimble handling despite its aggressive stance. Power comes from an integrated 48 V battery available in 17.5 Ah or 21 Ah capacities.

Trail-ready components ensure confidence on rough backcountry routes. An 11-speed SRAM NX drivetrain with a 40-tooth chainring and 11-42-tooth cassette delivers smooth shifting and optimal cadence. Tektro quad-piston hydraulic brakes clamp 203 mm rotors for reliable stopping power. A removable left-thumb throttle plus Bakcou’s On-Demand Program (ODP) display lets riders switch between Class 1/2/3 or unlimited modes. Together, these features make the Scout a versatile hunting and trail e-bike capable of backcountry scouting, overlanding, and all-day exploration.
