Decathlon has unveiled its latest addition to the e-bike market with the Rockrider E-ACTV 100, a budget-friendly electric hybrid designed for urban riders seeking accessibility and convenience. Priced to compete, this low-frame model aims to democratize e-bike ownership while catering to commuters, casual cyclists, and those prioritizing ease of use.
The Rockrider E-ACTV 100 features a step-through frame, eliminating the need for high leg swings and making it ideal for riders of all ages or mobility levels. Powered by a mid-drive motor (exact specs vary by region), it offers pedal assistance up to 25 km/h, aligning with EU regulations for urban e-bikes. The integrated battery provides an estimated range of 50–70 km per charge, sufficient for daily errands or city commutes. Practical touches like puncture-resistant tires, a built-in luggage rack, and front/rear lights enhance its functionality for everyday use.
“We wanted to create an e-bike that’s approachable, both in price and design,” said a Decathlon spokesperson. “The low-frame structure ensures comfort, while the components strike a balance between performance and affordability.”
Available now through Decathlon’s Netherlands website, the E-ACTV 100 retails for under €1,500—a notable markdown compared to similar models. For shoppers outside Decathlon’s direct markets, the bike is also listed on Amazon, though pricing may vary due to regional tariffs and availability.
Decathlon’s move underscores a growing trend toward affordable micromobility solutions. With its emphasis on accessibility and practicality, the Rockrider E-ACTV 100 could become a staple for riders eager to transition from traditional bikes or costly e-bikes without sacrificing quality. Whether for navigating crowded streets or leisurely weekend rides, this model offers a compelling entry point into electric cycling.
Interested buyers are encouraged to check sizing guides and local regulations before purchasing, as e-bike laws differ globally. With summer approaching, the timing couldn’t be better for a test ride.
