Rockrider E-ACTV 500
€1,999
The E-ACTV 500 is Decathlon's electric hybrid with a Yamaha PW-C2 mid-drive motor (55 Nm) and a 504 Wh battery, sold at €1,999. Transition Vélo finds it solid for the price, with a good motor and battery, but points to limited comfort and an average drivetrain. It weighs 24.5 kg and rolls on 28-inch wheels with 47 mm tyres.

What we like
- Yamaha PW-C2 mid-drive motor (55 Nm), better balanced than a hub motor
- 504 Wh battery claimed for up to 150 km
- Tektro hydraulic disc brakes and 47 mm Protect+ tyres
- Two frame versions (open and closed)
What we like less
- 24.5 kg, heavy to handle

- Limited comfort according to Transition Vélo, best kept to town and cycle paths
- 150 km range is very optimistic
Key points
- MID-DRIVE MOTOR: Yamaha PW-C2 motor for natural assistance in town and on rides. The step-through frame also makes daily mounting easier.
- 504 WH BATTERY: range up to 150 km in eco mode. The battery built into the frame is removable for charging.
- 1X8 DRIVETRAIN: Microshift Acolyte 1×8 for simple, effective use. Fewer operations and suited to varied trips.
- HYDRAULIC BRAKING: hydraulic discs for progressive, reassuring braking. Ideal for urban travel and leisure outings.
- COMFORT AND STABILITY: suspension fork, wide tyres and 28" wheels to better filter imperfections. The bike weighs 24.5 kg.
