Gasoline is through the roof, it doesn’t matter when you read this. Getting around by car on a daily basis has become something that not everyone can afford and public transport is not always an option. However, or perhaps for this reason, in recent years, two alternatives in their electric version have been gaining popularity: scooters and bikes. If you don’t feel very safe at first, the 2.0 bike gets you around town with less effort and more speed that one of the lifetime.
Another aspect is that electric bicycles, unlike what happens with electric scooters, combine transportation with exercise. That is, although they have an electrical impulse that minimizes effort, they still require manual pedaling. To get on one it is essential to know the highway code but a driver’s license is not required.
follow the same regulations as the rest of bicycles and it is not mandatory to have insurance or pay road taxes on mechanical traction vehicles, although, yes, in the event of an accident in which we are at fault, we will have to take responsibility for the damage caused to another vehicle or pedestrian. In addition to having a more active and less sedentary life, electric bicycles help reduce our atmospheric emissions.
For all these reasons, they have become a very competent alternative for urban travel. And we have already had our eye on it to a beautiful Decathlon that is also the cheapest in its catalog.
Black in color and classic and elegant cut is this fully equipped electric bike (luggage rack, fenders, integrated LED lighting…) that is specially designed for short urban journeys.
With six speeds, Dutch-style handlebars, a wide saddle for a straight back and ergonomic grips, it is also equipped with a 36V Li-Ion battery, which at 100% charge lasts up to 50 km. Also (important point) is removable for easy recharging.
The removable batteries save us from having to bring the whole bike up to our home or office to charge them. Of course, on the contrary, they have less battery capacity but this, in turn, makes them lighter bikes. This particular model has a total of 25.9 kg.
With the engine running, the bike reaches a maximum speed of 25 km/h and it stops as soon as you stop pedaling. In addition, as it has a low frame, it is also the right size for short people, being suitable for people with a height between 1.60 m and 1.90 m.
The Elops 120E is currently priced at €799.99 and can be paid in installments.
