Review

It has been one of Decathlon's best-selling e-bikes in Spain, mainly thanks to its balance between price and range.

Its 42 Nm rear motor is enough for the city and trails without big ramps. The 418 Wh battery promises up to 90 km in the most economical mode.

Sources disagree on the motor torque (35, 42 or 45 Nm): we use the most repeated figure and flag it.

Pros

  • Sensible reference price
  • 418 Wh: good range for the price
  • Fine for city and easy trails

Cons

  • Rear motor, less natural than a mid-drive
  • Motor torque disputed between sources
Ideal for

People looking for their first e-bike for the city and the odd ride on trails.

Recommended terrain

City and trails without steep slopes.

Value for money

6,3 / 10 (estimated from the scores and the reference price).

How many km will you get?

Indicative estimate with our formula based on the 418 Wh battery (how we calculate it). Not a manufacturer figure; the manufacturer claims up to 90 km.
