For This Bike
Jun 2018
The B’Twin Elops 900e is a decent e-bike that’ll get you around with a minimum of fuss. At £999 it’s keenly priced, as we’d expect from a company with the buying power of Decathlon. Available in diamond frame and step-through configurations, the Elops 900e has everything you need for city riding. It doesn’t have the most powerful motor though, so it’s not the best choice for hilly terrain. The Elops has been part of B’Twin’s city range for a while, with bikes starting at just £199 for the Elops 500.
| Frame | "The steel frame is lowered to make it easier to get on and off. Made out of steel for a very durable bike and fewer vibrations. The frame's dimensions were designed for users measuring between 1.60m and 1.80m." |
|---|---|
| Fork | To limit vibrations, on cobblestones for example, the bike is equipped with a curved steel fork. |
| Crank | Your bike is equipped with a Shimano 6-speed derailleur with grip shifters. Single chainwheel guard crankset makes changing speeds easier! |
|---|---|
| Shifters | Your bike is equipped with a Shimano 6-speed derailleur with grip shifters. Single chainwheel guard crankset makes changing speeds easier! |
| Brakes | Your bike is fitted with aluminium V-brakes with interchangeable pads. The life span of your brake pads accounts for the weight and speed of an electric bike. In poor conditions (rain, regularly carrying loads on the bike, etc.), their life span is 400 km. Type: Rim |
| Tires | "Your bike is equipped with 28-inch, double-walled tyres with 36 spokes for improved durability. And for greater comfort, we chose wide tyres." |
|---|
| Motor | "250 watts (complies with EU standard), brushless motor, mounted on the rear wheel. Motor torque: 26 Nm. 24 volt/8.8 Ah (221 Wh) battery, 2.1 kg, 2-year warranty (from 350 to 500 charge cycles to 100%) equipped with Samsung elements. Everything is controlled by an LCD dashboard with 3 modes + a "walking" mode for pushing the bike while walking next to it. Battery life lasts between 30 and 45 km depending on your weight, use, incline, air temperature, and assistance mode. |
