Decathlon once again promises to revolutionize the market with the arrival of a family cargo bike at an unbeatable price!
Being the world’s leading bicycle manufacturer, arriving late to such a dynamic market as cargo bikes is puzzling. So, it must bring strong arguments to carve out its place in the sun. And on this point, Decathlon knows how to do it.
By unveiling the almost final version of its future Elops F900E, Decathlon has certainly made a strong impact. First through the features of its XXL cargo bike, a true family SUV on two wheels.
Being able to carry 1 adult and 3 children is a significant achievement for urban families increasingly troubled by mobility issues. Particularly in Paris, Lyon, Nantes, Bordeaux, etc. Equipped with a powerful electric motor, this Elops F900E features a central compartment with a door and two benches: one for two facing the road, the other a single seat facing away from the road.
The vehicle, built with very thick tubes, will probably be heavy, so Decathlon decided to equip it with a front fork to absorb the bumps of the road. Braking is handled by a large disc.
Another good point is the protection provided to occupants or cargo with the canopy, proving that this Elops F900E is intended for all-weather use, and not just when the weather is nice on weekends.
Sales are expected by the end of the year at a price below 4000 euros, which would once again be a significant argument to outperform the market. In short, Decathlon‘s entry into the cargo bike market is bad news for established players, but excellent news for families annoyed by prices that are often above 7000 euros. Price of a car. Come on!
