Scott vs Haibike?

Hello!

I'm just entering the world of ebikes.
I love Scott, i used to have one of their bikes until somebody stole it.
So now that I have to buy a new one, I thought I'd go for an ebike.
My shortlist is:
1)Haibike Trekking 6
Motor 250W - 70Nm - Yamaha battery/motor - 630Wh battery - tires 27,5"

2) Scott Sub Cross Eride 20 Eq
Motor 250W - 85Nm - Bosch battery/motor - 500Wh battery - tires 29x2.25 - 25.30kg

3) Scott Axis Eride 20 Mix
Motor 250W - 65Nm - Bosch battery/motor - 500Wh battery - tires 29 - 26.40kg

Apparently I cannot post the links to the bike so I listed the main features.
The price is very similar so it is not a deal breaker.
I will mainly use the bike to go to work (quite flat) and some rides in the mountains (but not the main use).

Which one would you suggest considering I like the looks of all 3?

I should maybe add I'm quite a short girl (164cm) and my boyfriend has a very nice (and more technical) trek so he's pushing me to follow him for rides in the mountains.

Thank you for your help!

My two cents is worth exactly that but I would go straight for one of the Scott’s. Just the fact that they produce some of the markets finest bikes would make my choice easy.

I have a "Yamaha-Haibike which has provided good service, but would opt for the 85 Nm Scott too (1.9 cents worth).

Ah, too bad you can't post links.
I don't know about your fitness level or those bikes, but I know I'm a lot stronger rider than my wife. The way it works best is if SHE takes an eBike and I take my regular bike. That way, she can work as hard as she wants, but still keep up with me.

Thank you all, very helpful.
I think I will go for the scott then. I am 164 cm tall. They only have S at the shop, I think I would have preferred an M though.

Hi all!

In the end I did buy a Scott but not the ones I previously shortlisted.
I bough a Scott Axis Eride 10. A bit more expensive but felt so much better when I tried it!
What do you think?

Should be a great choice. Even the lower spec "20" looks pretty good.

I arrive a bit late, but think that the Axis is the more coherent choice compared to the Subcross. The Subcross has MTB tires, but some other specs are not OK when off-roading (it misses a clutch on the derailleur, the range of the cassette is lower, suspension has less travel). On the other side the Axis is a "civilised MTB", all components are proper off-road components, except the tires (that are easy to change anyway), that are more gravel. But it's not a bad thing: the bike will be better on-road, and will still be able to handle easy trails when it's dry.
