    Decathlon Unveils Rockrider E-ACTV 500 HF Smart E-Bike

    Decathlon has introduced a new e-bike in Europe called the Rockrider E-ACTV 500 high frame. This model closely resembles the low-frame version that was released earlier this year. Both of these electric bikes are powered by a 250W Yamaha motor that delivers 55Nm of torque.

    Features and Performance

    The E-ACTV 500 comes with five different assistance modes. Its 504Wh battery can achieve a range of up to 150 km (about 93 miles) on the lowest power setting, known as eco mode. Users can adjust the assistance level via a color control screen, which also includes a USB-A charging port. The bike features an 8-speed setup, a Suntour SF15 NEX-E25 suspension fork, a Microshift Acolyte Derailleur, Rockrider Protect+ puncture-proof tires for off-roading, and Tektro T280 hydraulic disc brakes. Additionally, it includes accessories such as lights, fenders, and an optional luggage rack. The smart e-bike is also compatible with the Decathlon Ride app.

    Design and Weight

    This high frame version sports a dark green color and is a bit heavier than its counterpart. The medium model weighs in at 24.7 kg (approximately 54.5 lbs), inclusive of the battery, while the low frame alternative is slightly lighter at 24.5 kg (around 54.0 lbs). The Decathlon Rockrider E-ACTV 500 HF e-bike is currently available in various European countries like France and Germany, priced at €1,999. This is the same price as the low-frame version. It’s not clear if or when this model will be available in other regions, such as the UK, where the low frame variant is already being sold for £1,999.

    Decathlon’s new e-bike offering is sure to catch the attention of cycling enthusiasts looking for a reliable electric option.

    Key Features and Specifications

  • Bosch Unveils Smart E-Bike App Features with Major Catch

    Bosch Unveils Smart E-Bike App Features with Major Catch

    An update for the Bosch eBike Flow app is being released. The software version 1.24 introduces two new features for e-bike riders who have a compatible Bosch smart system. One of the main highlights is a new button on the Ride Screen, which lets you jump back to the previous area with just one click.

    Subscription Requirement for New Features

    Though the new button is accessible to all users with eBike Flow app version 1.24, there’s a catch with the second feature: it is exclusive to Flow+ subscribers. If you have this subscription, you can now access Extended Navigation and Additional Statistics directly on your Kiox 300 and Kiox 500 displays without needing the Bosch ConnectModule. However, other features like the alarm and the current charge level still necessitate having the ConnectModule installed on your e-bike.

    Free Trial and Pricing Details

    Users can take advantage of a 12-month free trial for the Flow+ subscription, which will then cost approximately $5.99 per month. The latest version 1.24.7 of the eBike Flow app for iOS can be downloaded from the Apple App Store. On the other hand, the updated Android version is not yet available in the Google Play Store, and there’s no word on when it might be released.

    Decathlon Btwin F900E: New Electric Cargo Bike Launch

    Decathlon has introduced an updated version of the Btwin F900E Electric Family Cargo Bike across Europe. This model debuted in June as a family-friendly e-bike designed to transport up to four individuals. The initial version was offered in a color named Frozen Brown, but now the company has added a vibrant Sunflower Orange option.

    Similarities in Design

    Beyond the new frame color, both versions of the F900E look the same. This electric cargo bike has a maximum load capacity of 184 kg (about 406 lbs), which includes 27 kg (around 56 lbs) on the pannier rack and 101.5 kg (approximately 224 lbs) at the front. The bike is equipped with a carrier, a windshield, and a rain protector, making it ideal for riders who are between 1.55 and 1.95 meters (5.1 to 6.4 feet) tall. Powering this e-bike is a 250W Brose S Mag engine, offering up to 90Nm of torque and assisting riders at speeds of up to 25 kph (roughly 16 mph). It features a 630Wh lithium-ion battery that reportedly provides an assistance range of 40 to 80 km (25 to 50 miles). Additional highlights include a torque sensor, 4G and GPS connectivity, along with a color display to indicate remaining battery life and speed.

    Availability and Pricing

    The Decathlon Btwin F900E in Sunflower Orange is now available for purchase in EU countries such as the Netherlands and France at a price of €4,999, which is the same as the original Frozen Brown model. This e-bike is also listed on the Decathlon UK website for £4,999.99; however, both color options are currently unavailable online.

  • ENGWE LE20: New Cargo E-Bike with 8A Flash Charging Option

    ENGWE LE20: New Cargo E-Bike with 8A Flash Charging Option

    ENGWE promotes its much-anticipated new design as an enjoyable way to travel in and out of the city without the hassle of car-related expenses, emissions, or parking issues.

    Specifications of the LE20

    The LE20 is equipped with 20 x 3-inch tires, a torque sensor that provides 75 Newton-meters (Nm), and a 750 watt (W) motor that can peak at 1,300W. It can reach speeds of up to 28 miles per hour (mph, about 45 km/h) in pedal-assist mode and can travel as far as 211 miles on a single charge, assuming a rider weighs around 165 lbs (75 kg).

    Unique Features

    This bike earns its ‘cargo’ label thanks to a notably long structure measuring 74.8 inches (190 centimeters), featuring a unique angular design based on step-through e-bikes. The standard model, priced at $1,399, includes a cushioned Safety Board positioned over the rear wheels.

    A variety of add-ons are available: you can get front and rear racks, a safety rail, or a canvas pannier that can accommodate up to two children. However, each accessory requires separate purchases of the LE20’s Cargo, Passenger, or Versatile Canvas versions to unlock them.

    Pricing Options

    The additional prices for these options are $1,530, $1,645, and $1,636, respectively. If you want to upgrade the Standard version with the new 8 amp (A) FlashCharge power brick, which reduces charging time to just 2-3 hours, that would be $1,536.

    Also, if you opt for the Dual (48V/2 x 19.2Ah) Battery choice, each price increases by $300. Nevertheless, all options are currently at least $100 less than their regular retail prices.

    Special Offers

    For those ordering an LE20 until October 7, 2024, free accessory packs are included, featuring a helmet, a lock, a high-visibility vest, and a "10th Anniversary" keychain. You can also use the code LE2050OFF to get an extra $50 discount until that date.

    You can explore the entire LE20 range available in blue or gray on engwe.com; meanwhile, a limited selection of its Dual Battery options is listed on Amazon as of now.
