These motors provide a nominal power of 250W, a peak power of 600W, and produce 65Nm of torque. Riders can modify the pedalling cadence from 40 to 90 RPM, and it comes with a 694Wh lithium-ion battery that enables assistance for up to 130 km (approximately 81 miles). This smart bike features a console positioned between the handlebars, which includes a USB charging port and is compatible with the Decathlon Ride app for tracking routes and adjusting settings. Additional features include Tektro T280 hydraulic disc brakes, Rockrider Protect+ tires, and a sturdy 6061 aluminum frame paired with a Rockrider suspension fork (with a 63mm offset). Plus, it includes accessories like a 30 lux front light, a kickstand, fenders, and a pannier rack.

    Availability and Pricing

    In the UK, France, and the Netherlands, the bronze green version of the Decathlon E-ACTV 900 is the only one available, offered in sizes M and L, and is priced at £2,999.99/€2,699.99. Reports from France indicate that there are less than ten units of each size currently in stock. It’s uncertain when the size S bronze green bike or the flint gray versions will be listed on the brand’s websites.

    Introducing the Grand Pather 6: Husqvarna’s Hybrid E-Bike for City and Off-Road Adventures

    Electric bikes are becoming the go-to choice for city travel and the Husqvarna Grand Pather 6 is the latest to catch the eye. It’s designed for both city commuting and occasional off-road adventures. This bike is unique because it combines the ease of city riding with the capabilities of a mountain bike.

    Powerful Yamaha Motor

    In Europe, where e-bikes are becoming more popular than traditional bikes, the Grand Pather 6 fits right in. It’s powered by a Yamaha motor that’s strong enough for both city streets and trails, offering 85 Nm of torque. This is on par with the best motors from Bosch and Shimano, promising reliability.

    Design for All Terrains

    What sets the Grand Pather 6 apart is its design. It looks like a mountain bike and is built to handle rough terrain, thanks to its suspension fork and all-terrain tires. Yet, it’s also perfect for city living. It has lights for night riding, mudguards, and a rack for carrying stuff, making it practical for everyday use.

    Long-Lasting Battery

    It can go up to 62 miles on one charge, which is great for longer trips or day-to-day commutes. The bike also features top-notch brakes and a 12-speed gear system for smooth riding on various terrains.

    Pricing and Availability

    Priced at 4,999 euros, it’s initially available in Europe. It’s not clear yet if it will be sold in other markets. The Grand Pather 6 represents a blend of urban convenience and the adventurous spirit of mountain biking, making it a solid option for those who want the best of both worlds in their ride.
