Just spotted this today browsing a decathlon store, seems to be a direct rival to the Halfords Vulcan and is arguably better looking. https://www.decathlon.co.uk/e-st500-electric-mtb-black-id_8487238.html

Probs the dumping tax or inflation kicking in. Seems a good rival, better fork but mechanical disks, suppose those are cheaper to upgrade than a fork. Comes with some beefy tyres, would like to know who manufactured the hub. Probs doesn't suffer cutouts either.

I am sure I read that decathlon is one of the largest bike retailers in Europe with 4 million odd bikes sold ,and a new factory to be built In Lille for ebike production they soon will be a major player , the older bikes used bafang rear hubs or shimmano steps might be worth keeping an eye on what other models follow
