New Decathlon bike is off the chain
DECATHLON are launching their brand new LD 920 E automatic, the first in a new generation of e-bikes.
This revolutionary mobility solution can even go for 150km on a single charge.
The bike reacts instantly and smoothly to the slightest pedal stroke, even on a slope, while there is no longer a need to shift gears.
The motor is able to automatically adapt its gear ratio without a hitch, depending on the type of terrain and the rider’s effort.
And if your bike goes missing, you can geolocate it in real time with the free Decathlon app.
Described as a complete urban e-bike, it weighs just
26.1kg and has a continuously variable automatic transmission.
The 48V built-in lithium-Ion battery has a 702 Wh capacity, while you won’t need to worry about visibility in the dark, as the bike has a powerful 30 lux light.
It is baby seat compatible and has a 27kg capacity pannier rack, a ‘Headshock’ suspension fork, hydraulic disk brakes and a built-in
colour display on the dashboard.
Movement
When it comes to peace of mind, you will be notified as soon as movement is detected or your bike moves without your knowledge.
You can track the number of miles covered each day, week, month or year, and check the level of CO2 avoided by your use of the e-bike.
Cyrille Rouffiat, product designer for the LD 920 E automatic at Decathlon, said: “We wanted to have a simple, clean and durable product.
“We wanted a bike that was easy to handle. To achieve this, we decided to centre and lower the bike’s centre of gravity as much as possible.
“The central motor at pedal level and the battery located in the tube also make the bike easy to handle.
“Like the battery, we also wanted the components to be built into the bike as efficiently as possible: the chain guard hides the motor, and the screen blends into the stem.
“Same goes for the lights, which stay on when the bike is started.”
