The new cargo bike Decathlon F900E will hit the market at the end of June 2024 for a price of 4999 euros and can carry up to 5 people.
In large cities, where everything is now done to discourage drivers from venturing out, riding a bike becomes the only viable solution if one does not want to be dependent on public transportation and its questionable reliability/timeliness.
Therefore, swapping out a car for a cargo bike may be necessary in certain situations. You need to be quite active and accept being exposed to fluctuating weather conditions. A small budget is also required, as the cargo bike presented here, the Decathlon F900E, although well positioned, still costs 4999 euros. State or regional subsidies can help lessen the cost. Savings on fuel, maintenance, and parking should not be overlooked in your calculations.
The SUV of Cargo Bikes
The great strength of this Decathlon is its certification to carry up to 4 children in its 200-liter cargo area equipped with seatbelts. The maximum weight, including an adult for pedaling, reaches 184 kg (with 27 kg on the rack).
The range of the electric assistance, powered by a battery with a capacity of 630 Wh (4-hour recharge), varies from 40 to 80 km depending on the load carried, the chosen riding mode, and the types of roads traveled. Its motor provides 90 Nm of torque, and braking is handled by generous discs pinched by 4-piston calipers!
For your information, the speed is electronically limited to 25 km/h to enjoy the electric assistance. However, be cautious: this cargo bike already weighs 66 kg when empty, so you need energy to keep it upright during low-speed maneuvers.
