Scott’s urban e-bike push just got more interesting, care of an all-new E-Ville. Fresh off the Sweep commuter line launched in July around Bosch’s new Hub Line motors, the bikemaker has unveiled the E-Ville for 2027. The new mid-drive E-Ville is a full-suspension, low step-through e-bike that borrows more from the trail than the bike lane.

Scott says the E-Ville is the one bike for everything: the grocery run, the commute, and the “I’ll just take the long way home” detour that turns into two hours. To make that work, the E-Ville gets a 6061 alloy frame with a side-extraction downtube battery, an adjustable stem, and a Syncros dropper post. Yes, a dropper on a step-through commuter, which is totally a solid idea.

The addition of a dropper on a commuter makes sitting flat-footed at stops much easier. Tap a button at the light, drop the saddle, and plant your foot like you’ve done this before.

Bosch Performance CX Power for Both Models

Power comes from a Bosch Performance Line CX, which delivers up to 100Nm of torque. Battery size depends on the model: 800Wh on the E-Ville 10 SUV and 720Wh on the E-Ville 20. Both can also add a Bosch PowerMore external range extender to go further.

The ebike’s full-suspension will also be a welcome addition for some commuters, as back comfort is usually a big deal. The new E-Ville’s rear suspension is classy and clean in its tidy execution.

The rear shock is tucked inside the frame, just like on their Bold-inspired mountain bikes. So it stays out of the grimy street spray and, ideally, out of the repair stand.

Plus, it adds a clean, fancy, and high-tech aesthetic.

You didn’t even notice that it was a full-suspension at first, did you?

Scott E-Ville 10 SUV

The 10 SUV is the more capable of the two. It gets a 120mm RockShox Recon Silver RL fork, 100mm of rear travel from an SR Suntour Raidon shock inside the frame, 60mm wide Schwalbe Advancer all-terrain tires, a Shimano Cues 11-speed drivetrain, and a Bosch Kiox 300 display.

It comes in tawny green or peach pink.

Features

  • All-terrain tires
  • 120mm front and 100mm rear suspension travel
  • Bosch 800Wh battery
  • Bosch Kiox 300 display

The Scott E-Ville 20

The E-Ville 20 is the urban-leaning version, with 100mm front and rear travel, an SR Suntour XCM34 air fork and the same rear shock, Schwalbe Big Apple Performance tires, a 10-speed Cues drivetrain, and a Bosch Purion 200 display.

It comes in tungsten grey or silt green.

Features

  • Urban tires
  • 100mm front and rear suspension travel
  • Bosch 720Wh battery
  • Bosch Purion 200 display

Brakes, Battery, Relaxed Geometry & Bits

Both models stop with Shimano four-piston MT4120 brakes and 180mm rotors. This seems like more than adequate for a bike that can weigh over 66lbs (30kg). Scott lists claimed weights of 68.7lbs (31.16kg) for the 10 SUV and 69lbs (31.3kg) for the 20.

The E-Ville geometry seems a bit more relaxed than you’d expect from a commuter. A 66° head angle (66.5° on the 20 with the shorter travel fork), 76° seat angle, and a low bottom bracket around 326 to 331 mm should make it stable and easy to live with.

Frame sizes run S to XL, and all roll on 29-inch wheels.

The everyday stuff is covered, too: a Racktime SNAPIT 2.0 rear rack, integrated front and rear lights, full fenders, and an SP Connect phone mount integrated on top of the stem. It’s a bike built to do just about anything you can think of on a random Tuesday. It certainly looks like a great all-rounder commuter.

Scott hasn’t shared pricing or availability yet. Given the spec, expect it to sit well above entry-level commuters. We’ll update when we hear more.
