The Decathlon BTWIN LD 920 E urban e-bike is expanding its reach to more countries, with the model now available in the UK after its successful launch in the EU in September. Excitingly, the e-bike has also made an appearance in a 2024 catalogue featuring various cycling products for the brand in the US, indicating its imminent arrival there.
The LD 920 E, also known as the E-LD 920, is equipped with a 250W mid-drive motor from OWURU, delivering 600W of peak power and up to 65 Nm of torque. Riders can choose between three assistance levels or switch off the engine entirely. The e-bike boasts an efficient 702Wh Economy battery, offering a remarkable range of up to 150 km (approximately 93 miles) in Economy mode. Recharging the power pack to full capacity takes under five hours, and it is projected to maintain its functionality for at least 500 cycles.
Enhancing the overall riding experience, the LD 920 E features a Headshock suspension fork with 30 mm travel, ensuring a comfortable journey. Additionally, its Tektro Hydraulic disc brakes provide reliable stopping power when needed. The integrated color display serves as an information hub, showcasing details such as the chosen riding mode and remaining battery range. It is also equipped with a convenience-enhancing USB-C port to charge your phone on the go. On top of that, 4G, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth connectivity options enable users to track the GPS location of their bike. However, it’s worth noting that while this tracking tool is free for the first year, a monthly fee of €2 (~£1.7) will be charged thereafter.
Notable features of the LD 920 E include integrated lighting, mudguards, a kickstand, a pannier rack, and a Ring Lock 920 ART2 for enhanced security. The e-bike is available in two frame options: the 6061 aluminum high or low frame, each offered in four different sizes. For reference, the medium-sized model weighs approximately 59.5 lbs (~27.0 kg).
The BTWIN LD 920 E High Frame and Low Frame Electric City Bikes are currently available for purchase in the UK at a price of £3,199. As for its awaited launch in the US, details regarding the arrival date and pricing remain undisclosed.
