The Decathlon Rockrider E-Expl 520S is a whole lot of e-bike for not a lot of cash.

Decathlon Rockrider E-EXPL 520S review

Decathlon has been a huge player in the cycling market for a long time now, and the Rockrider E-Expl 520S is the sports superstore chain’s latest budget e-bike. But while the price is keen the spec is far from mean, with a smooth, silent Brose motor, air-sprung suspension, and modern geometry. All for less than £3k (and it’s on sale at the moment!).

Yamaha’s twin-tube frame layout on the Moro 07 is straight out of the motorcycle playbook.

Yamaha Moro 07

A household name in the motorcycle market, Yamaha has actually been making electric bikes and motors for many years now. The Moro 07 is a distinctive design that leans heavily into brand’s motorbike knowledge. It comes with a really high-end spec and powerful motor, and costs just over £4k.

Polygon’s Siskiu T7E has all the features you’d expect on a model costing twice the price.

Polygon Siskiu T7E

Sold through the Go Outdoors chain, Polygon has made a name for itself at the sharp end of affordable bike design. This Siskiu T7E comes fully loaded with a Shimano motor, fully adjustable suspension, aggressive geometry, and looks like it should costs more than double its £4k price tag.

The curvaceous Giant Stance E+ 1 comes from one of the most respected brands in the business.

Giant Stance E+1

Our final contender comes from a brand that needs no introduction, with one of the biggest factories in the world churning out bikes for a number of household brands. Fitted with a Yamaha motor and innovative flex-stay rear suspension, the Giant is an attractive prospect.

Should you buy a lightweight mid-power e-bike, or a full power e-bike with a big battery and just deal with the extra weight? 

It’s a question we hear a lot, and in this article we aim to answer it objectively, drawing on experience of riding scores of lightweight e-bikes in multiple locations and trail conditions. What are the pros and cons? What type of rider is likely to be happy making the kind of compromises needed to live with a diet e-bike? Are the weight savings really noticeable?
