The Riverside from Decathlon

HYBRID ELECTRICAL - Original 900 Electric Hybrid Bike - 36V

£849.99 - HYBRID ELECTRICAL - Original 900 Electric Hybrid Bike - 36V - RIVERSIDE

Which is very similar to my 'normal' bike.

So, have any of you got any experience of these?

Thanks

Tony

Probably not bad for the money, though Zoom forks are basic low end stuff as will most of the components will be. Dapu rear hub should be ok though power supply is speed control with varying speed level for each of the 3 sp PAS. It will supply max amps in each PAS level, though vary the speed in each PAS level.

For a bit more money a current control bike system can be had with 5 PAS levels and smoother riding and power delivery.

Get the Decathlon. It has standard Chinese parts so easy to get spares and fix. If anything goes wrong with the Dapu, you'll most likely be looking for a new bike because nobody sells spares for them.

I've gone for the b'twin bike from decathlon, as I'm very happy with what is effectively my non electric version of the same bike.
