Decathlon RockRider EST900 E-Bike thoughts
Discussion
Had a look at this today and think I am going to order via cycle to work scheme as it works out pretty reasonable.
Performance and spec seems good, as do the reviews.
My main use will be foresty rides - Think the e-bike will be more fun as i will generally be travelling faster on the uphills and can cover more ground in the same itme.

Any competitors i should be considering at this price point?

Loads of bikes at the same price but Decathalon get good reviews and spec bikes well. If it were me, my money and I wanted one, I’d be happy with it.
Nice one - popping down later to try and ‘reserve’ one or lock in the sale price as my cycle voucher could take a month to come through. Watched some videos and seems great. sam.rog said:
It's a £500-700 bike component wise. It looks like you are paying 1k for a motor and battery.
I'd rather pocket the £ and ride a normal bike but whatever floats your boat.
Less the tax on the cycle scheme I wouldn’t bother otherwise. Just fancy something that will take me further and faster than I’d otherwise go. I'd rather pocket the £ and ride a normal bike but whatever floats your boat.
Just went into decathlon and got one allocated to me and they’ve added a note to honour the current price if it goes up. Had a look at other sites and can’t find anything that really compares for sub £2000.
Looks awesome . He suggested going tubeless as the rim and tyre is tubeless ready, and the 27.5” x2.8 tyres seem to be beyond the scope of sealing inner tubes. Will have a look into that.
Now have a 4-5 week wait for the cycle scheme voucher to come through !
