Decathlon, a renowned French sports retailer, is reshaping the e-bike landscape with its latest offering: the Van Ryself E-EDR AF. This model is not just another addition to their impressive e-bike lineup; it’s a standout as their first ultra-lightweight electric road bike. Weighing a mere 14 kilograms (31 pounds), the E-EDR AF breaks new ground in combining lightness with power, a feat not commonly seen in electric bikes, especially those in its price range.

The bike is crafted from aluminum and costs merely $3,000

The secret to its lightness lies in its construction. Crafted from aluminum and equipped with carefully selected components, the E-EDR AF maintains a weight that rivals traditional bikes while embracing the advantages of electric assistance. This clever blend of technology and design results in a bike that looks and feels like a standard road bike, hiding its electric nature with a seamless design.

The Van Ryself E-EDR AF is powered by a compact Mahle X35 motor, supported by a 250-watt-hour battery neatly integrated into the frame. This setup not only contributes to the bike’s sleek appearance but also offers an impressive range of about 62 miles per charge, though this will vary based on different riding conditions.

Premium features like a carbon fork, hydraulic disc brakes, and an intuitive control unit elevate the E-EDR AF’s status in the e-bike world. Additionally, it boasts a Sram Apex AXS electronic drivetrain with 12 gears, renowned for its quick, responsive shifting and a streamlined look thanks to its wireless design.

But perhaps the most compelling aspect of the Van Ryself E-EDR AF is its affordability. While high-end e-road bikes can cost upwards of $10,000, Decathlon’s model offers an experience close to these premium bikes but at a significantly lower price point – around $3,059 USD. This price-performance ratio makes the E-EDR AF a noteworthy option for cycling enthusiasts looking for quality without breaking the bank.
