Very pleasant for canal side and road walks. A little less on the footpaths.
The Riverside 900 E perfectly fulfills its mission for the price. For 999€ you get a lot for your money. Very comfortable autonomy, comfort neither too soft nor too firm, enough engine power for a ride and a few kilometers off the beaten track (dirt roads and gravel roads). It seems relatively well built. The control screen is complete. To see in the duration but for the moment it is a purchase which gives whole satisfaction.
Interesting purchase aids

To conclude
In our opinion, the Decathlon Riverside 900 E electric bicycle is an affordable product with multiple qualities. It will support you in case of hard knocks, obstacles or unevenness during your rides on roads and paths.
However, its weight remains a really negative element. Indeed, it remains quite heavy, almost 26kg! The weight of the product is crucial depending on the use you want to make of it.
