Out of Stock for Decathlon Btwin LD 920E

The new flagship of Btwin’s bike range, the Decathlon LD 920E is experiencing its success… well-deserved!

Hardly available in the catalog and already out of stock, whether in high or low frame sizes. Decathlon achieved a launch that was not obvious for a premium product. In collective unconscious, Decathlon is a brand specialized in technical products, affordable in terms of price. It was therefore courageous to include a e-bike at €3,000, precisely €2,999, but we have a thing with these nines, as you probably know.

The Decathlon LD 920E carries the overall lines of the LD 500 E, but with a very different design. Its motor is no longer at the rear but within the crankset, while the frame accepts a larger battery, and the reinforced fork features an absorbing crown, with a higher handlebar. The latter hosts a connected touchscreen with many functions.

Bike with automatic transmission

At the crankset, the motor of this Decathlon is not in-house but from a Belgian startup, E2Drives. The French manufacturer invested in developing this unit, which will be produced in Lille. The motor features fully automatic transmission, of the CVT type, with a single continuously variable gear. This means that the bike delivers the same gear ratio for the rider, regardless of speed, and continuously provides a torque of 65 Nm at 250W. Now, instead of changing gears, you adjust the pedaling cadence from 40 to 90 revolutions per minute using a knob on the left handlebar. Not exactly revolutionary, but a significant evolution. We had the chance to try a pre-production version that truly impressed us.

Last but not least, while we hoped for a price below 4,000 euros, it is marketed at an unbeatable price for this level of features. Success is never by chance, and Decathlon proves it once again.
