Electric bikes are swiftly becoming a go-to choice for cyclists seeking both performance and convenience. A standout in this rapidly evolving market is the newly launched Van Rysel E-EDR AF Apex by Decathlon. This bike not only packs a punch with its advanced features but also manages to stay light on the wallet.
The bike claims to cover an impressive 160 miles on a single charge
What sets the Van Rysel E-EDR AF Apex apart is its dedication to lightweight design without skimping on performance. Weighing a mere 14 kilograms (31 pounds), thanks to its aluminum frame, it’s a breath of fresh air in the electric road bike category. This is Decathlon’s initial venture into the ultra-lightweight e-bike segment, and they seem to have hit the mark.
Performance-wise, the bike is equipped with a Sram APEX 12-speed drivetrain and matching hydraulic disc brakes, ensuring a smooth and responsive ride. It also features the versatile Mahle X35 rear hub motor, offering three assistance settings to cater to different riding styles. Keeping riders informed is the BC900 GPS computer, a nifty addition for those who like to track their journey.
The bike’s range is another highlight. Decathlon claims it can cover an impressive 100 miles on a single charge, though heavy reliance on the electric assist might reduce this distance. Its 250-watt-hour battery, complemented by a range extender, makes it ideal for longer rides.
Decathlon has conducted extensive real-world testing for six months, ensuring the bike’s performance under various conditions. This testing is crucial in proving the bike’s agility and durability.
Appealing to both men and women, the Van Rysel E-EDR AF Apex is priced competitively at 2,800 euros (about $3,080 USD). With its launch, Decathlon aims to attract performance-oriented riders who are eager to explore the world of e-biking without breaking the bank. This new addition to the e-bike market is a testament to the growing trend of accessible, high-performance cycling options, making it easier than ever for riders to enjoy the thrill of cycling with a touch of modern technology.
