The Decathlon Riverside 520 E is the latest electric mountain bike (eMTB) offering in the EU. The Decathlon Riverside 520 E has a low step-through frame that offers greater accessibility than a step-over frame.

The Decathlon Riverside 520 E is powered by a 250W rear-wheel electric motor with a maximum torque of 42Nm and a top assistance speed of 25km/h. Customers can choose from four assistance modes with the maximum range of the bike set at 100km. It has a 500Wh lithium-ion battery and an 8-speed system. The Riverside 520 E eMTB is equipped with the SR Suntour Nex SF19 suspension fork with 63mm travel and lockable springs. It also features hydraulic disc brakes and tires sturdy enough for off-road riding, as well as urban movement.
The Decathlon Riverside 520E is available in three sizes S to L, unlike the four size options of the step-over model. The maximum suggested rider height in the new Decathlon eMTB is 1.89m. The lower frame of the model allows the rider to easily mount the bike. The new Decathlon step-through mountain bike has a backlit LCD which shows ride information and remaining battery life.
