riverside 500 electric review

Since then, I think that the motor is on the way out again. You can purchase torque-sensing controllers, but whether they are compatible with the sensor fitted to the Riverside I wouldn’t like to say.What I did do for a customer in the past (with a Carrera Vulcan E) was to install a mid-drive motor, wire it into the existing battery and replace the rear wheel with a regular one – but that’s an expensive solution.Hello there, tried lot’s of ways to zero the trip on my riverside 500,can you help?It’s been a while since I tested the Riverside but if my memory serves me correct you need to hold down the minus key for 10 seconds to zero the trip computer. The frame has been ergonomically designed with a lowered, sloping top-tube, enabling easier mounting and dismounting.

The Riverside 500 Electric Hybrid bike really does offer excellent value for money. And now they have applied this ethos to their new range of electric bikes.So far, every single one I have tested, has exceeded my expectations, and it looks like the same is going to be true of the Rockrider E-ST500.The Rockrider E-ST500 comes in at £999, and when I first laid eyes on it, I was suitably impressed.

Just like its hybrid sibling, the Riverside 500, the E-ST500 has an integrated sensor in the bottom bracket that measures the force being applied to the pedals. The groupset is finished off with a quality KMC x9 chain.The only electric mountain bike that I can think of that comes close to this spec is the Carrera Vulcan from Halfords, and that is £200 more expensive.I have to admit, I was a little disappointed at first to see mechanical disc brakes on this bike, but I understand that Decathlon have got to save money somewhere along the line. The bottom line is it makes for a much more subtle transition to electric assist when you start pedalling. Those oversized 2.4″ tyres and the frame geometry really make this bike stand out from the competition.But beauty is only skin deep, so lets take a closer look at what the Rockrider has to offer, starting with the electric components.The 250w geared rear hub motor has been beefed-up to cope with the rigours of off-road riding. The Riverside 500 hybrid bike has been designed for frequent cycling over short to middle distances on the road or on gravel tracks. The new Riverside 500 Hybrid Electric Bike is one of their best all-rounders. The one I tested was reading in km, but I never had an instruction manual to go with it. It needed a new chain (£10) and gear cable (covered by warranty), but was otherwise felt to be OK. My bike had the same components, and in my opinion, they work as well as their Shimano equivalents. Given its price point, a front derailleur is a component that is expected. How? The display is also clear to read and easy to use via the keypad, which is located conveniently next to the left hand grip.Another good feature of the Riverside 500, is the battery has a very reasonable 36v 11.6ah (417Wh), which should give an assisted range of around 40-50 miles. The Small bicycle weighs 13 kgs, the medium is 13.2 kgs and the large is 13.3kgs.The Btwin Riverside 500 has been designed keeping simplicity and clean aesthetics a centric idea. I am biased towards the Decathlon bike, even though there is hardly any weight difference when compared with the Crossfire. The Btwin Riverside 500 is a nine-speed bicycle that has 9 Indexed Speeds controlled by Microshift SL759 Grip Shifters.

It is possible, but it’s likely to involve replacing the motor controller (ECU) and display. The Rockrider is a good bike, and certainly better at handling the rougher stuff, but the fat MTB tyres have much great rolling resistance on tarmac and make quite a lot of noise when riding on roads.I hope this helps, if you need any more info, please let me know.I have just taken delivery of my first e bike. The ride experience is fulfilling, for this price range..! Even when you use it without any assistance it is really nice ,further… it is very confortable when you sit on and drive.
