Sized for folks 5’5” to 6’+
Includes massive bag for front rack and very large pannier for rear rack. Both racks are designed to carry tons. The front rack is bolted to the frame, not attached to the fork, so that it does not impact steering. I have included a dropper seat post, allowing you to swap between riders of different height. Also not shown on the photos is an integrated lock, which locks the rear wheel to the frame. It uses the same key as the battery.
The battery detaches has always been charged at room temperature, never in cold temps, which is critical to maintaining good battery health. It is also possible to charge the battery while still on the bike.
I haven’t ridden this enough to justify keeping it. I just like my other bikes too much. Less than 600 miles on it.

From the manufacturer:
The Benno eScout ebike is the ultimate commuter Etility bike, carrying substantial loads, but not an ounce of extra fat. Fast and nimble, the eScout is built around a taut, lightweight aluminum frame engineered for strength and rigidity.
Its road bike inspired design, in combination with lower, narrower handlebars, provides a sporty riding position ideal for navigating dynamic urban environments. Surge ahead with an efficient, lightweight Bosch Performance Line Sport electric motor with 85Nm of torque that provides the rider assistance up to 28mph. The Bosch motor provides Instant power on demand, while generating virtually zero resistance or noise when not in use. Extra-large 27.5" x 2.4 Schwalbe Moto tires contribute to a smooth, fast and comfortable ride while providing natural suspension. The sturdy oversized rear rack and the option to add our frame-mounted front trays in combination with our bags, baby seat adapters and other accessories give the eScout the versatility to adapt to your changing needs – from daily commute, to grocery runs, to family transport and more.
