This Decathlon electric bike under 14 kg wants you to love hills

With its Van Rysel E-EDR AF priced at €2,499.99, Decathlon offers a new version of its electric road bike.

Bike rides could sometimes be longer if the return trip didn’t involve that infamous hill. With the Van Rysel E-EDR AF equipped with a twelve-speed SRAM Apex mechanical transmission, Decathlon is targeting cyclists who want to broaden their play area without turning every ride into a sporting challenge.

Listed at €2,499.99, this model combines an aluminum frame with a fully carbon fork. The brand claims it weighs less than 14 kg in size M. A lightweight for an electric bike, even though fans of lightweight muscle machines will notice the difference when lifting it.

Assisted rather than electric

The assistance is based on a Mahle X35 motor installed in the rear hub, developing 250 W and 40 Nm. Three levels allow for a controlled intervention. Beyond 25 km/h, the motor stops assisting: the legs take over. The main benefit is thus in climbs and moments when maintaining the pace becomes challenging.

The integrated 250 Wh battery promises up to 100 km of range, but this figure deserves some caution. In its own examples, Decathlon also refers to a mountainous route of 40 km with 900 meters of positive elevation and maximum assistance. The terrain, the effort exerted, and the mode chosen greatly influence the outcome.

Another practical point: the battery cannot be removed for charging. The bike needs to be plugged in for four to five hours for a full charge.

Hydraulic disc brakes and 32 mm tires round out the package. This Van Rysel may inspire you to take long rides again, provided there’s an accessible outlet and enough energy left in your calves.
