The Benno E-Scout 9D is far from your average e-bike. A testament to continuous innovation, the E-Scout is equal parts practical and outright fun, empowering and impressing on the go. Its design is perfect for riders who want something super-robust but also crave intuitive and agile handling and need a little extra space, whether it's for an extra child seat or loading up for the next big multi-terrain adventure.

The E-Scout 9D boasts a stiff, lightweight aluminium frame with a fairly upright geometry making for a comfortable riding experience while the 250W (600W peak wattage), 50Nm Bosch Active Plus motor unit gives powerful assistance ideal for the urban rider. 27.5" inch wheels sporting ultra-stable 2.4" tires gives the E-Scout not only great rolling momentum, but also comfort and sure-footedness on any terrain. Kick it up a notch with the awesome Shimano Alivio 9-speed gears and hydraulic disc brakes, and you have the E-Scout - uncompromising, be it a commitment to comfort or versatile performance. As a touch of class, the Scout comes equipped with powerful German-made Supernova lights. Those will turn night into day!

A favourite for families, urban explorers, couriers, everyday urban riders and even professional search-and-rescue teams, the E-Scout is ready to take you anywhere you need, whether it's around the block or on the long-distance journey of your dreams.

BENNO COMPANY PROFILE: While Benno has only been around since 2015, German-born founder Benno Baenziger is certainly no stranger to the cycling industry. Since his days as a founder of Electra Bicycle Company right to modern times, the industry veteran has dedicated his life and business to finding new ways to reinvent bike design to both inspire and empower the rider. Benno bikes are a reflection of this vision - their geometry is unlike most "traditional" bikes, allowing riders to plant their feet more securely, and Benno is a firm believer in the incredible power of e-assist technology, flattening hills, lightening loads and shortening distances. While much of the industry ignores the needs of everyday riders to push their own ideas, Benno bikes are made to serve that rider. Agile, comfortable and just downright fun, Benno bikes are built to keep the everyday rider wanting to ride everyday.

It looks like there is a ton of plug-and-play options

Yep, there are a TON of options that mount to the Benno! From front racks to rear racks to surfboard carriers!

Can I store it outside?

You sure can! The Benno has an aluminum frame so it can't rust but you do want to make sure the exposed gearing system is kept clean.

What is the maintenance like?
Unlike most EU cargo bikes, the Benno uses external gears (derailleurs and chain without a cover) so it does require yearly adjustment of the gears.

Can I put a childseat on the back?

Yes. The Benno rear rack accepts YEPP child seats with a simple click!

This is expensive! Will it get stolen?

Estimates are that over 90% of bicycle theft is tied to cash-for-drugs and this (unfortunately) makes every bike a target. Make sure you buy a good U-lock or a chain and your bike will be safe. You can read more about bike theft here.

What’s the warranty?

Lifetime warranty for manufacturer defects on frame and fork, one year on parts. Does not include wear and tear.
