Terrain recommender
Find your ideal e-bike
Search where you'll ride. We analyse the area's elevation and paths and tell you which Decathlon bikes fit best, with the calculation in plain sight.

Search your area on the map or choose the terrain type above: here you'll see 3 to 5 bikes with their compatibility percentage and why.
How we calculate compatibility
1. We measure the terrain
We request the elevation of 49 points on a 6 × 6 km grid around the place (Copernicus data via Open-Meteo) and calculate the maximum elevation gain and the slopes between neighbouring points.
2. We look at land use
Within a 4 km radius we count, in OpenStreetMap, urban streets, tracks and paths and bike lanes, and look for nearby mountains, protected areas and cycle routes.
3. We classify the area
Mountain: elevation range ≥ 300 m or typical slope ≥ 10 %. City (≥ 50 % urban streets): hilly if the range ≥ 80 m or the slope ≥ 5 %. Otherwise, flat countryside (range < 60 m and slope < 3 %) or mixed.
4. We weight the criteria
Each profile gives a weight to the 6 criteria of our rating. Compatibility is the weighted average, as a percentage. If a bike is missing a figure, that criterion counts as 2/10 and we flag it.
| Profile | Range | Climbing | Lightness | Off-road | City use | Affordability |
