# Versatile Hybrid E-Bikes The Hi-Power Cycles Scout is Both Road- and Trail-Friendly By Joey Haar | Published 2018-06-14 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hipower-cycles-scout References: [digitaltrends](https://www.digitaltrends.com/outdoors/hpc-scout-ebike/?utm_source=feedly&utm_medium=webfeeds) & [hi-powercycles](http://www.hi-powercycles.com/2019-scout) Electric bikes are becoming increasingly common as both road bikes for commuters and trail bikes for those who enjoy excursions, and the Hi-Power Cycles Scout manages both activities with equal efficacy. The new model is light enough to be a convenient option for those who want an electric ride on the street, but it's also been outfitted with the right combination of durability and comfort to make it a strong trail ride. The Scout comes with a 750-watt electric motor, and its battery offers a range of up to 30 miles. Further, the bike can reach speeds of up to 32 miles per hour, giving trail riders a thrill that many other bikes wouldn't be able to match. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.4/10 - Popularity: 79% | Activity: 75% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Electric Bikes:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop advanced battery technology to increase range and speed. - **Versatile Bicycles:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create modular designs that can easily be adapted for both road and trail use. - **Trail-friendly E-bikes:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate advanced suspension systems to enhance comfort and performance on trails. ### Sectors Adopting This - **E-bike Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Implement efficient production processes to meet the growing demand for electric bikes. - **Battery Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop lightweight and high-capacity batteries to extend the range of electric bikes. - **Outdoor Recreation Equipment:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design rugged and durable bicycles specifically optimized for trail riding. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Mid-Range Scrambler Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyperscrambler-2.md) - [Terrain-Traversing eBikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terrain-electric-mountain-bikes.md) - [Hybrid Terrain Cruisers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/himiway-zebra.md) - [High-Speed Performance E-Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/juiced-bikes.md) - [Utility E-Mountain Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hovranger.md) - [Trail-Ready Commuter E-Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trailready-commuter-ebike.md) - [Specially-Tuned Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patron-eride-900.md) - [Comfortable Trekking E-Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pathlite-on-8-suv.md) - [Classic Motorcycle-Style E-Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scrambler-x2.md)
