As the catalogue of electric bikes keeps getting larger and larger, French sports retailer and manufacturer, Decathalon, makes a considerable amount of inroad bikes – especially with their divergent branding approach. Their list includes Rockrider for mountain enthusiasts, Triban for the urban and long-distance road riders, and B’Twin for versatile cyclists. Recently, they’ve been focusing on electric bikes, and they’ve got some new updates.
The latest news is about an updated
version of the B’Twin LD 920 E e-bike. Last year, this bike was made for long
trips. Now, they’ve added an automatic gear system to make riding even easier.
This new gear system was made with a company from Belgium called E2 Drives. It
uses two motors to help you pedal and change gears smoothly. There are sensors
that check the bike’s performance really fast, about 20,000 times in just one
second. This means the ride feels smooth and easy.
One of the best parts is the battery. It’s
hidden in the bike frame and can last up to 150 kilometers (or about 94 miles)
when it’s fully charged. The bike also has some cool extra features. There’s a
GPS tracker built-in, so you can find your bike if it gets stolen. It also has
a touchscreen that shows useful information while you’re riding. Consumers can
pick different modes, like Eco or Boost, to change how the bike rides. There’s
also a strong light at the front and a rack at the back for your bags.
Those interested can buy the B’Twin LD 920
E on Decathlon’s website for 2,999 Euros (US$ 3,300). If you’re looking
for a solid city e-bike with cool features, this could be a good choice.
