The Hovsco HovScout is a full-suspension fat-tire e-bike with a removable 48 V, 15 Ah battery of 720 Wh and a 750 W rear hub motor (1,300 W peak), with a torque sensor and a throttle. The page badge gives 90 Nm and the description 85 Nm of torque.
It ships with throttle and pedal assist limited to 20 mph, and the HOVSCO app unlocks pedal assist to 28 mph. It has hydraulic disc brakes with 180 mm rotors, an 80 mm suspension fork with lockout, a four-bar coil rear suspension and 26 x 4 in tires on a one-size 6061 aluminium frame.
The page gives 72.8 lb with the battery (61.78 lb without) and a 450 lb maximum payload, the same figures as the HovAlpha table. The maker claims 40 to 60 miles of range, a 7-hour charge and a fit for riders 5 ft 3 in to 6 ft 2 in. No rack or fenders come in the box. Green and Gray sell at the same $1,999.00.
