My friend, thank you very much for your support! I hope you subscribed ty my channel for future videos :)

Thanks a lot bro 😎

Thanks for your support :)

I still have this e-bike. 4 years later it still rides well 😀

Thanks 🙏 for your comment Andrew. If you want to support me please subscribe to my channel ✌️

Thanks for your comment my friend 😊 Enjoy your new bike 🚲 And yes, bring it to Decathlon they will fix it for free ✌️ PS. Subscribe;)

Thanks bro for your support ☺️ Ride safe as well 😇

Question, have you tried cycling on a heavy rain? No issues with it? Or do we need to invest on rain covers for battery?

Hi, thanks for your comment. I made a new video about this bike - m.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f6d4iZaBu7jdpH0.html Check it out ;) This is a very universal e-bike. It drives nice in the city and on gravel trails as well. But its mostly city variant a would say.

Cool ;)

hi, thanks for your comment. You can ride with a battery or without. it's up to you. Nothing will be damaged if you are not using an e-motor. Enjoy your new e-bike ;) BTW now I have a custom one. Check it out and let me know what do you think about it: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l6xyjdyqs9LOpI0.html

I’m glad i helped you 😀

Hi, thanks for your comment. This bike has a torsion sensor. If you are living in a not very big city you can use a regular bike. It will be cheaper and you will be doing more sport. Which is better! E-bike is more useful for high hills or longer distances. If you you will be doing short distances you can use a simple and cheaper bicycle. You still will be happy 😃 But i like me e-bike. Its very comfortable ;) PS. Im always used regular bikes and they are still ok :)

@@ArthurBrassart Thank you very much for the quick reply. Wish you good roads and trips.

Thanks a lot :) Yes, my e-bike is still holding strong (almost 7000 km done). It's still not broken, but I need to replace again my braking pads. Yes 30-35km would be better but it becomes dangerous to ride. Its better ride slowly but longer :D To ride faster I want to build my own custom e-bike. With bigger tiers, more powerful battery and dual motor like in Tesla Cars ;) Im happy you are happy with your bike! A lot of my friends bought this bike as well.

Thanks for your comment. I made a video about bike locks :) - m.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/md9ondlktb7baIU.html

Thanks: check out this bike as well :D - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a9iIarl8ztLRYH0.html

Thanks for your comment, usually I’m doing all the maintenance by myself ;)

Hi, so when you hit 26 Kmh the motor stops assisting you. It means you are riding using only your legs' power. it will not be slowing down. For example, while riding from the hill you can ride 50km per hour but the motor will stop assisting you once you will reach 25km per hour. Hope you got the idea. It's for your security. Btw if you want to ride faster than 25 km per hour - try this: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a9iIarl8ztLRYH0.html

@@ArthurBrassart Thanks a lot for your answer.

Hey Arthur! Thanks for the video! Very helpful. I'm thinking about buying one of me and one for my wife. It's now selling at 999,99 in germany which is a nice price as i think. Is yours still running without trouble?

Merci pour votre commentaire Michel :) Je suis très content pour vous! Le vélo est vraiment top pour son prix. Answering to your question: i purchased the light on AliExpress. The price is 2,5 EUR if I'm not mistaken ;) If you want i can give you a link to purchase? PS. i made my own custom e-bike with 1500W motor. Check it out: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l6xyjdyqs9LOpI0.html

Thanks for your comment, actually I never thought about it. But I think there is a way to do that. I will try to do that and I will let you know ;)

Alors effectivement c’est un petit galère. Il faut débrancher l’électronique. En soi, c’est juste un fil a débrancher. Après il faut tout rebrancher. Le reste c’est comme une roue arrière standard. Il faut juste pas oublier de étendre le moteur avant de sortir la roue arrière. Si jamais vous allez bouger le pédalier, ça peut vous couper les doigts 😭😺 En fait ça peut activer le moteur 😇 ça m’est arrivé une fois… Maintenant, j’ai un nouveau jouet 😎 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a9iIarl8ztLRYH0.html

As for now i have done almost 8000 km :D That's a lot haha, probably more than some people are doing in 1 year by using a car. I used to live far away from my work. Everyday I was driving through the whole city of Paris. That's quite a big distance. Anyway its better and more comfortable then using car or public transport :) I'm driving my bike even when its cold or its raining. No excuses! Even if it will be the End of the Earth I will still be driving my e-bike :D

Thanks for your comment! I'm riding this e-bike in heavy rain quite often. No problem at all. It drives like a tank :D I am not sure about leaving the bike under the heavy rain without the battery installed. I think water can damage electronic components if the battery will not be installed since it covers connector from water and humidity. I would not recommend doing this. When temperature is going down you are loosing some battery. That's true. But range lose is not very significant. You will start to feel it only when it will be very very cold like -15. Up to -2 it's ok. I hope I helped you ;) PS. Maybe I will do a winter review of this e-bike as well. it's a great idea! Good Luck ;)

@@ArthurBrassart thank you for a quick reply. Leaving the bike outside with the battery in is like asking for it to be stolen unfortunately. I've had my normal non e-bike stolen despite two heavy locks while being attached to a bicycle stand. On the other hand this bike will fetch a lower price on the second hand market which might defer an intelligent thief. And on the plus side I would be able to afford two of these bikes before reaching me middle tier e-bikes I have been reviewing so far. The weather is always an issue for most bikes. Unfortunately the battery location for mid drive motors often seem to be less ideal for a downpour. I might be able to attach some kind of rain cover over the battery socket when the battery is out... It's good to hear that the bike performs well even in around zero temperatures. That is what I wanted to hear! I will go to Decathlon and try it out. It's also positive that they sell suitable mud guards at the same store. Thank you!

@@SnokenX speaking about security and bike theft :) I made a video about this issue. Maybe it will be helpful to you: 😃kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jZp5ZbyG0NCViIE.html

@@ArthurBrassart thank you, I will check it out.

Good choice! Good Luck with your new e-bike. BTW: I made my own super powerful e-bike from the 9-gear riverside basic model. Check it out: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a9iIarl8ztLRYH0.html

Hi, yes i can confirm you, it has this feature :) Long press on « plus » button

Hi, i had this error too in the beginning. Just disconnect the battery and restart the bike. it should disappear.

@@ArthurBrassart By restarting the bike you mean to turn on and off the screen with the power button right? Or there is another method for restarting it. Thank you for being so helpful btw,your videos are 🔝

You should come to Paris and we will take a ride together ;) We can buy a bike here for you and on the next day we will return it back to the store :D

@@ArthurBrassart 😂😂 love how you think. Dream trip! Happy cycling , heading out door now! Lol

@@davidanderson6222 i hope you subscribed ty my channel! Btw. if one day you will be in Paris, just contact me ;) Im not kidding you!

i have M size but I used L size and it was ok too for me :)

Hi. Thanks for subscribing to my channel. So I did already over 10.000 KM in 3 years. This e-bike is great for the price. It was used under the rain, in the mud, in the city, it was transporting some heavy objects - it survived everything. After 3 years of usage, the battery started to become quite used. In the future, I will need to change it. I already changed the breaking pads several times - but these are normal things that should be replaced from time to time. No problems with motor or electronic components. You can buy it! BTW: I have a new toy - check it out: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a9iIarl8ztLRYH0.html

@@ArthurBrassart Thank you for your reply

Hi, I purchased this seat separately. It gives you more comfort I would say ;)

Which seat is that ?

Yes, this is a great e-bike for any purpose! It’s a working electric horse 🙌👍

Hi, thanks for your comment :) Yes, Decathlon sells extra batteries. You can get them cheaper on your local selling websites. As a lot of these e-bikes have been stolen people are selling their batteries really cheap. btw: check your my video about my own custom-made e-bike with 200 km autonomy: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l6xyjdyqs9LOpI0.html

Yes I bought this saddle separately on AliExpress for 3 EUR :D

@@ArthurBrassart 🙏🏽

@@ArthurBrassart Ah ok Yes I saw that video. Something to consider for the future. Thanks

Thanks for your comment :) Yeah its a very good bike. It offers you freedom and its almost free to maintain, not like traditional car. With this e-bike no insurance, no license plates, no parts to change. Only brake pads but they cost just 8 EUR. You can charge your battery at our office so it will be 100% free to use :D And by riding a bike you are exercising a bit as well so not only you are saving money but you are investing in your health ;)

@@ArthurBrassart 😇💪 that is the plan for the future

freedom, health and satisfaction, that's it!

@@reniakrk1231 i think bicycles are our future of transportation. Not electric cars, not hyperloops but simple bikes. They are cheap in production and good for the environment. Resources on our planet are limited. Soon we will reach our limits of growth... Production of more goods does not always lead to a development. Bicycles will save us. If i would have a few millions of dollars i would invest this money in a company that makes cheap affordable e-bikes for the people. Its about the long term...

@@ArthurBrassart healthy approach to nature and ecology that is good for the planet. Less fuel and more natural energy, for ex in the legs 😀 means less smog in the city

well, the power of this motor is totally enough to push you even on very inclined hills. Just lower the gear and it will do the job ;)

Hi Raffaello, i don’t know how to describe it in the comment (the correct order of nuts and screws i mean). But check out this video m.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qpqDmbyL1MmbfY0.html I hope it helped you ;)

i made a video about bike security :) Check it out kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jZp5ZbyG0NCViIE.html

Hi, you can leave this bike as much as you want under heavy rain 🌧️ it is waterproof. But of course, it’s better to keep it protected if you can ✌️

voltage 36V. The battery can be purchased on the Decathlon website. I don't think you will be able to assemble the same battery as its shape is very particular. But don't worry you can buy it at Decathlon if it fails or will be stolen.

J’y vais tous les jours 🤩 C’est un endroit magnifique effectivement. Si un jour vous voulez y aller, faites moi signe ;) On peut se croiser 🤗

Hi, 5K in about 1 year of usage. 13-14 KM is a perfect distance for this e-bike. You will not be tired :)

Hi, yes you need L size obviously :) Don't worry about the weight. I'm carrying sometimes 150 KG of different stuff and it's still ok. This bike is a working horse !

@@ArthurBrassart wow that's great 😍👍 before buying it i just want to confirm about total weight from the person who is riding this ebike already from long time and i was concerned about weight thing because I'm heavy and i carry extra weight with me, really means a lot 😇 and last thing would you recommend me this ebike for regular use in city or highway? Is it worth the money 1300 euros? And how's the decathlon after sale service?

I’m using this battery like hell 😅it still works fine. I don’t think that bringing it home from street will damage it. Maybe just if you were living in a very cold city 🥶 normally it should not damage it. And by the way, it’s better to store the battery in the hot place. I mean ambient temperature 🤓

thanks a lot 😀

Hi, in this video the saddle is a custom one :) I bought it for 3-5 USD online :) Its more comfortable!

it depends on your luck :) But im still thinking that for this price it has the best ratio price-quality. But yeah its not bulletproof...

What is the spokes size of rear wheel??

@@pallabpatra4375 36 spokes rear wheel. 28 inch wheel size ;)

@@ArthurBrassart but what is the spokes size you have informed me the diagram of the wheel. Is it 12g240 mm spokes

The reviews on the Decathlon- website often mention problems with the wheel/spokes. I recon it is a weak spot of this bike. Especially if you are a bit more athletic (bigger) build.I'd suggest to buy an extra rear wheel for only €155. That way you always have a spare when your wheel needs to be repaired again. Or you can change the rim for one of DT Swiss as I did for rear wheel of my Cube Nature. Since I did that it copes well with my 120 kilos...

Price in Europe is 1250 EUR. Check it out on decathlon's website ;)

Hello Jonathan, i bought the standard ones from decathlon. I guess I paid like 9 EUR. But later I changed for proprietary mudguards made specially for this e-bike. Just search on Decathlon website for: Mudguard Riverside 500E and you will find them ;) They cover fully wheels and they are very light.

@@ArthurBrassart thanks!! I just buy it and seems good. Which rack did you install it?

@@jonathancordoba9831 Great! I bought all my accessories from decathlon. This way im sure that it will fit my bike. (and its cheap). :) Enjoy your bike!

yes, but its just a rule of contrast. When the motor is used you feel it lighter. When the motor is off its super difficult. But all in all its just a few pound more. Nothing critical. You will still will be able ride this bike without using the battery and motor.

From 0-100% about 6 hours This battery is quite big

@@ArthurBrassart Thank you 👍

But im still waiting for my money 💰😊 Thanks 🙏 Subscribe, it will be better reward for me then money 💴

max speed I did on a stock motor and battery was 42kmh its 27 miles per hour. Regular speed in a city landscape is about 16 miles per hour (25kmh). if you want to ride faster you need to change controller or buy a second more powerful motor ;)

@@dobrealexvlad your pleasure is my pleasure. I'm happy to make you feel good :)

Hi, around 6h :)

haha, yes :) Maybe I should move to Taiwan!

Definitely! It’s also pretty safe to ride a bike here all over the island. There are bike lanes in most of the cities. Probably all of them, can’t say for sure, because I didn’t visit all the cities, yet.

@@ZakariasChronicles is it legal to drive this speed bike in Taiwan? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a9iIarl8ztLRYH0.html

I’m sure e-bikes are legal here. Although, the max speed is capped at 25kph, legally speaking. But sure you can go beyond that on the road. I usually drive my bike on the asphalt. I was interested in e-bikes, but after seeing them personally, they looked a little too bulky for me. I like to do some stunts with the bike. 😄

max speed with assistance is 25 km per hour but you can ride faster of course - just you will need to use your own force

what do you think about this one: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a9iIarl8ztLRYH0.html

Hi, do you mean to make it ride faster? :)

@@ArthurBrassart little yes, if not constantly, you can at least try what. I found a tuning video for the EST900, but not for that. Of course I don't want to spoil the bike, it's been half a year and I love it :)

A friend of mine did that. He entered a code in menu that unlocks full speed and full power. It drains battery 🔋 very fast so i do not recommend you doing that. And it can broke your motor :) Maybe one day i will make a video about that. Good idea 👍 PS. I want to create my own e-bike with supper powerful motor and huge battery. It will be like beast e-bike 😀

@@ArthurBrassart well, I'd be very curious about that code and the video if you tried. My own ebike is a very good idea, I’ve watched a lot of videos on this topic before.

Maybe yours is having some problems. But yes, when the road is not perfect I agree you feel every imperfection in your stomach :D Speed limit is for battery saving. Also its a legal obligation to limit the speed to 25km h, cause you will need to get a licence plate and insurance like for a real motorcycle or car. My motor is very powerful and I can feel how it pushes me. Check with your local store if you still have warranty! ;)

@@ArthurBrassart thank you for the feedback.. I'm going to check with the store indeed.. I bought it 3 days ago. Kind regards

Sadly its EU law that limits the bike speed. Above that you need a licence. It is what it is...sadly. But.... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ZtCKfc2EydSVkaM.html 😁

I have to say I'm happier with my bike now.. I bought it to decathlon, they were very nice and adjusted the speed shifting and everything is just better now.. the speed limit would be awesome it it was 30kms but it's not that problematic.. it really feels nice riding this bike. I went gravel riding around Golf courses today and it was great!! You really feel the help from the motor when riding on the sand!! It's great 🙂 kind regards everyone. Nice rides !
