Pick your gear
Three siblings, one philosophy: the scrambler reimagined for paved streets, gravel weekends, and the trails in between. Pick the seasoned 4.0, the full-suspension MX, or the new 5.0 — all hand-finished, wheel-trued and road-tested before they ship.
The 4.0 is the proven Class 2 scrambler that started the line. The MX adds full suspension for the riders who took the 4.0 off the road. The 5.0 is the new Class 3 flagship — more torque, longer legs, hydraulic discs. All three share the soul.
The Original Scrambler
Every road is a starting point. The bike that put a hidden battery inside a vintage silhouette — three generations refined.
The Trail Scrambler · Full Suspension
The 4.0, turned up. Air-sprung fork up front, coil-over rear, and the geometry to take the scrambler off the pavement.
The Modern Scrambler · Pro Club
Fifth gear, fifth generation. The cleanest scrambler we've shipped — hydraulic discs, hidden battery, 750W of well-mannered torque.
A minute of each, shot the way we’d ride them. The 4.0 on a quiet morning commute. The 5.0 at full chat on PCH at golden hour.
Same scrambler skeleton, three different engines. Here’s the spec sheet, honest and unembellished.

Four ways riders typically decide. Find the line that sounds most like your week — we’ll point you at the right model.
i.
You’re in a city. Three or four short trips a week, none over 15 miles. You don’t need 32 mph and you don’t want to pay for it.
ii.
You want the Class 3 speed bump, you want hydraulic brakes for the stop-and-go, and you want range you’ll never sweat about. Eco mode gets you both ways.
iii.
You’re past gravel weekends — you want a bike that takes a curb at speed and asks for another. The MX’s 80mm fork and coil-over rear are the difference between getting away with it and enjoying it.
iv.
The 4.0 is forgiving, proven, and cheaper to live with. Three winters of riders agree — it’s the easiest scrambler we make to fall in love with.
Shared DNA
The whole family is built around one idea: hide the modern bits, show the heritage. Every Outsider shares the same silhouette, the same hand-finishing, the same five hours of QA before they leave the workshop floor.
The questions we hear most often, with the answers we’d give over coffee at the workshop.
Same heart, different skeleton. The MX gets an 80mm air-sprung fork, a coil-over rear shock, Tektro hydraulic brakes, and the bigger 48V 17.5Ah pack standard — the upgrades that let you ride curbs, drops, and fire roads the way the 4.0 wasn’t designed for. Class 3 motor mapping, 28 mph pedal-assist, Shimano 7-speed, same removable battery format.
The frame geometry is shared, but the 5.0’s motor, battery and brakes are not retrofittable to a 4.0. Trade-in credits start at CAD $600 for any well-kept 4.0 — call the workshop and we’ll quote yours.
About a 12–18 mile delta in everyday riding (eco mode, 165-lb rider, mild hills). The 5.0’s 17.5Ah pack and the extended 20Ah option both materially change how far you can plan a weekend ride.
Class 3 ebikes are street-legal in 38 US states and across all Canadian provinces (helmet required, age limits vary). The 5.0 ships with a software toggle to dial it back to Class 2 (20 mph) if your local bike paths require it.
The 5.0 is 31″ wide at the bars and 76″ long — same footprint as the 4.0. The fat tires only add weight, not width. Both bikes fit any North American standard elevator.
Yes. Our flagship showroom has both models on the floor and a 30-minute test loop mapped out for each. If you’re more than a few hours from a showroom, we’ll ship a demo to a partner dealer near you — call to arrange.
Every wear-and-tear part on all three bikes is stocked at the workshop and ships next-day in Canada. We commit to a 7-year parts horizon from the model’s launch year. Warranty: 3 yr frame, 2 yr battery & motor, 1 yr controller.
