What does e-actv 500 mean?
The acronym ACTV stands for "ACTIVE". We've designed this bike for everyone looking to adopt a more active lifestyle and reconnect with nature. The "e" means that this is an electrical assistance bike.
Characteristics of the Yamaha PW-C2 motor
Motor: Yamaha PW-C2.
Max light output: 250 W
The maximum power (at thermal equilibrium) is limited by e-bike standards. All bikes have the same maximum power.
Max torque: 55 Nm
Torque is a better way of comparing e-bike motors. The motor's torque corresponds to the force that the motor is able to exert on the cranks.
The electrical assistance cuts out above 25 km/h in accordance with EU regulations.
A mid-drive motor for better handling
The mid-drive motor better distributes the weight across the bike compared with a hub motor. The motor and battery are positioned low down and between the wheels. The result: the bike is easy to handle, just like a traditional hybrid bike.
A mid-drive motor for dynamic, progressive assistance
With a mid-drive motor, the power of the assistance is directly adjusted based on your pedalling effort:
- When the slope that you're riding up increases, the motor detects that you're pushing harder on the pedals and instantly helps you more.
- When you slow down, the motor detects that you're easing up your pedalling and instantly reduces the assistance.
The result: assistance that's easy to control.
Assistance controlled by the torque sensor.
A mid-drive motor for better handling up hills and better range
Like you, the mid-drive motor benefits from the gear reduction.
The assistance is therefore more effective up hills than with a hub motor of the same power.
The energy efficiency of the mid-drive motor is also better than that of a hub motor. The bike's range is therefore greater than with a hub motor paired with a battery of the same size.
4 levels of assistance to manage your effort
5 assistance settings:
Mode 0: assistance off
Mode 1 (eco): increases your power by 70%: if you're pedalling at 100 W, the motor adds 70 W.
Mode 2 (tour): increases your power by 150%: if you're pedalling at 100 W, the motor adds 150 W.
Mode 3 (sport): increases your power by 220%: if you're pedalling at 100 W, the motor adds 220 W.
Mode 4 (boost): increases your power by 280%: if you're pedalling at 100 W, the motor adds 280 W.
Walk mode: helps you when walking alongside your bike.
Up to 150 km of range with your trekking e-bike
The battery range varies depending on the weight being transported (user + load), the elevation gain, the wind and the outside temperature.
Our tests have assessed the maximum battery range on relatively flat terrain without a load (no pannier bags or trailer):
Mode 1 (eco): up to 150 km
Mode 2 (tour): up to 100 km
Mode 3 (sport): up to 65 km
Mode 4 (boost): up to 40 km
Built-in, removable battery
Lithium-ion 36 V - 504 Wh battery.
Locked into the bike's frame for better integration and protection.
Quick release with key (3 keys included) to recharge it. Built-in carry handle.
Made with Samsung battery cells, which are known for their high reliability and safety.
500 charge cycles guaranteed without loss of battery life.
Weight: 3.1 kg
Compatible with a 360 Wh battery extender (sold separately). Reference: 8655251
Battery charging
Can be charged directly on the bike or off the bike.
Fully charges in 7 hours with the 2A charger provided.
Compatible with the Rockrider 4A charger for faster charging (ref: 8753941).
Can you ride with a flat battery?
Yes.If the battery is flat or isn't attached to your bike, the weight of the bike and the motor will make it much harder to ride than a traditional hybrid bike. But you can still ride it if you break down.
Electrical and electronic components that resist dust and rain.
All of the electrical components (controller, motor, battery, etc.) are resistant to dust and rain (IPX-5).
This means that you can leave your bike outside in the rain without the battery. Any water that might get into the hole where the battery would normally be will run off the bike and won't damage the components.
Do not wash with a pressure washer.
Built-in lights
Press on the lower arrow at the side of the bike's screen for 3 seconds to turn on the light.
Lights powered by the bike's battery:
- LED AXA NXT60 front light. Power: 60 lux.
- LED rear light fixed to the rear mudguard.
The rear light remains active (on lower power) for 4 minutes after turning off the bike.
Colour control screen
Colour control screen on the left of the handlebar.
Information available:
- current speed
- motor power and user power
- battery percentage

Connectivity
The Trekking e-actv 500 bike is compatible with the free DECATHLON RIDE app.
Ride with your phone connected to the bike via Bluetooth, and after your ride you can see:
- Your route and all data connected to your ride
- Statistics on use of assistance modes
- Updates to your electrical components
The app is compatible with the following operating systems:
- For Apple devices: iOS 8 and later versions
- For Android phones: Android 7 and later versions
Choose your version: low or high
We have designed two versions of the e-actv 500:
- Low frame version: The low frame version is easy to get onto. You only need to lift your leg 43 cm. This is particularly useful when you're using a child seat.
- High frame version: The high frame version is stiffer and gives you more precise steering, particularly on rough terrain and when you're carrying a heavy load.
Choosing the size of your e-actv 500
Sizes available for the low frame version: Size S: 1.50 m to 1.65 m.
Size M from 1.66 m to 1.77 m.
Size L: 1.78 m to 1.90 m.
Sizes available for the high frame version: Size S: 1.50 m to 1.65 m.
Size M from 1.66 m to 1.77 m.
Size L: 1.78 m to 1.90 m.

Microshift Acolyte derailleur
We've chosen to use the Acolyte derailleur because of its durability.
8 gears: reducing the drivetrain to just 8 gears means bigger – and therefore sturdier – cogs.
"Single click" switch: avoids gear changes being too quick when the chain is subjected to stresses that could damage it.
12x42 cassette: we've opted for a cassette with 12 teeth, rather than 11, on the smallest cog. This makes the cassette last longer.
The drivetrain in detail
In detail:
- MICROSHIFT H083 12x42T 8-speed cassette
- Single chainring: Miranda 38T anti-chain-drop (3D chain flow) chainring
- 170 mm cranks
- KMC E8 chain with master link
- Rear derailleur: MICROSHIFT ACOLYTE
- MICROSHIFT ACOLYTE shifter
Wheels
Rims
Reinforced (double-walled) asymmetric rims
Inner width: 25c
Not tubeless compatible
Spokes:
32 front and 32 rear
Rustproof treatment (galvanised)
Hubs: Sealed cartridge bearings.
Axles: Quick release
Saddle
Rockrider Trekking long ride saddle.
We conducted morphological studies aiming to understand where the pressure points are on different body types. We designed the size of the saddle and selected the foam so as to better distribute these pressure points. The saddle was then tested in real use and updated based on feedback from our testers.
Aluminium frame
Aluminium frame.
The main tube is made using gravity casting. This technology makes it possible to create complex tube shapes with variable thicknesses. This allows us to strengthen the tube where needed so that it remains stiff and durable.
Maximum tyre size compatible with the mudguard: 700x47 mm
Disc brakes
TEKTRO T280 hydraulic disc brakes (160 mm front and rear diameter).
Hydraulic brakes are more precise than cable-actuated brakes and the level of braking is easier to control.
Aluminium platform pedals
We've chosen to use wide platform pedals to keep you more comfortable and give you a feeling of stability. Aluminium pedals.
Optional pannier rack
We've developed a pannier rack that is specifically designed for the e-actv 500 (ref. 8828232). It is easy to attach to the frame using 4 screws, and needs no further adjustment.
It is compatible with child seats and with most pannier bags on the market (including bags that use the MIK installation system).
Max load: 27 kg.
STAND
The stand is fixed to the rear chainstay. This means that you can push your bike along without the pedals getting caught in the stand.
Maximum load supported by the stand: 35 kg.
Mudguard
The mudguards ensure that there is always 6 mm of space between the tyre and mudguard. They allow you to ride on dirt tracks without mud getting clogged between the tyre and the mudguard.
COMPATIBLE ACCESSORIES
Compatible with: • bottle cage: 1 fixing point on the frame. If you need a second bottle, we recommend using a fabric bottle holder on your handlebar.
• rear pannier rack: compatible with most pannier racks available on the market. We recommend our dedicated rack (ref: 8828232)
• frame lock (ref: 8735625)
• pannier-rack-mounted child seat
• frame-mounted child seat
Not compatible with central stands.
