Can't decide between two Scott MTB e-bikes

[Gargamel40]

I'm buying an emtb for asphalt, gravel, hills and easy downhill and to catch up with my wife since this is my first ebike. She's using ebike for a while now.

I'm picking between two Scott bikes.
Cheaper Patron 920 or a bit more expensive Strike 900 Evo.

Two different models but they look very simillar. The same motor, the same power. Any insight if one is much better then the other?

Strike 900 Evo: 2,5 kg lighter, carbon frame, Sram Gx eagle 12 gears, Shimano XT brakes.

Patron 920: Alu frame, Shimano XT 12 gears, Sram DB8 brakes. 1000$ cheaper.

I would say since it doesn't sound like you are planning to do fast single-track that the cheaper version should be more then enough for your needs.

I would personnaly go with the eRide Strike 920 or 930 (2022) if you can still find them. They are fitted with the excellent Marzocchi Z2 fork and the reliable Bosch CX Gen 4 motor (non-smart).

Rode a 2022 strike 920 8,000 miles without any problems. Now riding Ransom with more suspension travel. Both great bikes.
