What is the bike's range?
The range varies depending on the mode selected: up to 50 km in Eco mode, 40 km in Normal mode and 30 km in Boost mode for maximum assistance. The range varies according to the weight carried, elevation gain and wind. Removable and locked to the pannier rack with a key, the 252 Wh (36 V / 7 Ah) battery can be recharged wherever you like. For longer journeys (45 to 70 km), the bike is compatible with the high-capacity SAV battery (417 Wh, 11.6 Ah, ref. 8669826).
Motor power
The E-Fold 500 makes every journey easier thanks to its 250 W brushless rear motor. Its 35 Nm of torque is activated instantly when you start pedalling via a cadence sensor making it ideal for effortless starts. The Bluetooth LED display on the handlebars allows you to easily select between the three assistance modes (Eco, Normal, Boost up to 25 km/h) and control the lights while keeping an eye on the 5-bar battery level indicator.
Connectivity & Application
Download the Decathlon Mobility app and turn your smartphone into a smart dashboard with live tracking and Auto Mode.Review the history and battery usage of your rides after you’ve finished, and manage your bike’s maintenance with ease (tutorials, workshop appointments, updates and insurance).
Dimensions & Carry System
The bike features a simple side-folding mechanism that takes just 30 seconds. When folded, an ultra-strong elastomer strap (tested over 2,400 pull cycles at 13 Nm) holds the stem and pannier rack assembly securely in place so you can ride the bike without having to carry it. A bike rest built into the base of the frame keeps the bike upright on the ground.
Drivetrain & Gear Ratio
The Shimano Tourney 6-speed grip shifter drivetrain features a 52-tooth chainring (170 mm crank arms) with dual chain guide and a 14-28 freewheel. Its tiered design makes it ideal for city use: the low gear ratio (28T / 2.96 m per revolution) is for very easy starts at traffic lights and on hills while the high gear ratio (14T / 5.90 m per revolution) is suitable for a comfortable cruising speed of 25 km/h.
Wheels & Tyres
The 20" wheels are fitted with double-walled aluminium rims with machined sidewalls for excellent rigidity. The Tanwall tyres (20 x 1.75) with a vintage look feature puncture protection and reflective strips for safety at night. A pressure of 4.5 bar is recommended to optimise motor performance, preserve battery life and minimise the risk of punctures.
Posture & Comfort
Designed for optimum riding comfort, the handlebar assembly has an adjustable aluminium stem combined with a steel handlebar (Ø 22.2 mm) and adjustable ergonomic grips. The adjustable seat post (Ø $31.6 mm) features an anti-rotation key and an anti-theft collar topped with a wide foam saddle with a carry handle.
Braking & Lighting
Aluminium V-brake callipers and levers that deliver effective and progressive braking. As the electrical assistance places greater strain on the brake pads, regular adjustments are required for optimum safety. Powered directly by the bike’s battery, the lights (15 lux at the front, 5.4 lumens at the rear) can be switched on and off easily with a single press of the control screen on the handlebars, for perfect visibility in town.
Adding Luggage and Accessories
The E-FOLD 500 comes as standard with a rear pannier rack with a bungee cord.
The integrated front interface can be fitted with carrying accessories, e.g. the 25L folding bike bag, in just one second (ref: 8735484). The rear pannier rack is compatible with standard city bike panniers and the metal basket (ref: 8365778). Compatible 20" bike carry bag (ref: 8271631).

Battery care and storage advice
Tyre pressures drop by about one bar per week: pump them up regularly to conserve range, reduce effort and prevent punctures. Before any cleaning or maintenance, remove the battery and switch off the bike. Store and charge it in a dry place, away from direct sunlight (+10°C to +25°C). Do not store when flat (one flashing LED) and recharge it at least every three months to prevent deep discharging. Switch to sleep mode if needed (sleep mode activates automatically after two hours).
