Decathlon launches e-mountain bike for kids for the first time
The rear wheel hub motor from Vision Industries with a torque of 42 Nm makes climbing uphill much easier for the biker and the integrated cadence sensor also ensures smooth pedalling movements. The hydraulic disc brakes on the front and rear wheels take the fear out of riding downhill: They enable progressive braking and offer maximum braking power thanks to their positioning in the area of the bike axle - whether on dry or wet surfaces. A single gearshift for the eight gears also makes shifting child's play.
The kids can choose between three support modes (Eco, Standard and Boost) on the control display and view the battery level. The display information has been deliberately kept to a minimum so that the children can concentrate on riding. If the speed exceeds 25 km/h, the motor assistance switches off in accordance with European regulations. The adults can't go any faster, so the family automatically stays together at all times.
The engineers at DECATHLON's own BTwin brand are constantly working on new ideas for even greater adventures. The newly designed aluminum frame has been specially tailored to the anatomy of children between the ages of 9 and 12. It offers maximum stability, lightness and dynamism and its incline is ideal for easy mounting and dismounting. The seating position on the sports saddle also offers the best comfort with the shoulder-width handlebars. The e-MTB with its 26-inch wheels and suspension fork optimized for the weight of children rides very comfortably off-road and absorbs any bumps on rough terrain without any problems. Nothing stands in the way of many adventurous rides with young and old bikers alike.Note: This content has been automatically translated from German. Please report any incorrect translations.
