October 2023- Decathlon, the Outdoor and sports retail giant, has a wide variety of bicycles in its roster. Distributed across various price points, Decathlon's bicycles cover all fields, ranging from commuting mountain biking to road cycling.
Much more recently, the brand has entered the e-bike space, also with different offerings catering to different types of riders. That being said, Decathlon has teased its newest cargo e-bike offering that's designed to transport you and your kids with ease and comfort. It's called the F900E Velo Cargo, and it boasts the ability to replace your car on daily trips around town. While e-bikes have long been touted as car replacements for journeys within the city, the F900E Velo Cargo takes this a step further by boasting the ability to carry not one, not two, but three kids via a large platform in the front. There's even an integrated hood to keep your youngsters dry in the event of rain. On the technology side of things, the F900E Velo Cargo flaunts a robust-looking frame, presumably made from aluminum. The front platform designed to carry kids also has built-in seatbelts for extra safety. As for the bike's performance, it's rocking a mid-drive motor. However, the specifics regarding performance and top speed have yet to be disclosed. What we do know is that the rider's pedaling inputs, as well as the assist generated by the motor, will be sent to the rear wheel via a chain drive with derailleur gears. It's also expected that there will be multiple assist levels for a more optimized riding experience.
