The advantages of the Btwin Elops 500e

  • It's nice to ride on flat roads
  • Smooth assistance

... and the disadvantages

  • The engine is rather weak
  • Low autonomy
  • Heavy weight
  • Long charging time
  • Low range transmission
  • The battery is difficult to remove

To conclude

The Decathlon Elops 500e is not a bad e-bike, but its electric assistance is questionable. It is recommended for riding on flat terrain because its motor is not powerful enough to help on steep hills. This quality alone greatly limits the appeal of this Elops 500 e in many places.

It is also preferable not to go very far with this bike, because you will only cover about 30 kilometers. Its autonomy is weaker than that of other electronic bikes at this price. The risk of running out of energy on the way home is not negligible.
