Decathlon are doing really well with their bicycle offerings in the UK, eBikes in particular. This sounds like a solid offering although it doesn't look like there's an internal hub gear so it might be a single speed which limits assistance options to just the levels available from the motor. And a carbon belt rather than a chain is always preferable but of course this adds cost.

No, apparently it's a bit like hybrid cars. It has a continuous variable transmission system with an infinite range of gears, pretty unique for an eBike. I've seen a video describing it and to be honest it looks amazing.

Over three grand and then still offer subscriptions, no thank you.
