Decathlon BTWIN LD 920 E city bike now rolling out to more countries

[Redaktion]

Decathlon has launched its BTWIN LD 920 E city bike in the UK and is expected to sell the model in the US in the near future. The e-bike has a 250 OWURU motor accompanied by a battery providing up to 150 km (~93 miles) range on a single charge. Other features include GPS tracking, a suspension fork and a color display with an integrated USB-C port.

Decathlon are doing really well with their bicycle offerings in the UK, eBikes in particular. This sounds like a solid offering although it doesn't look like there's an internal hub gear so it might be a single speed which limits assistance options to just the levels available from the motor. And a carbon belt rather than a chain is always preferable but of course this adds cost.

No, apparently it's a bit like hybrid cars. It has a continuous variable transmission system with an infinite range of gears, pretty unique for an eBike. I've seen a video describing it and to be honest it looks amazing.

Over three grand and then still offer subscriptions, no thank you.

If anyone's comparing alternatives that are more "simple but capable," I've had good experiences with "RINCC" as a value-oriented option for commuting and mixed riding. It's not trying to be a subscription tech platform — more like straightforward e-bike specs and ride feel. Their range is worth a browse if you're weighing up what you get for the money (rinccbike-eu.com/)

"£3k+ plus subscriptions" is a tough sell unless you really want the connected features and will actually use them. Personally I'd rather have fewer "smart" services and spend the money on the fundamentals: brakes, comfort, and battery quality.
