Decathlon has launched the 2023 BTWIN Longtail Electric Cargo Bike R500E. The e-bike comes in new colors but is otherwise identical to the older model. Features include a 250W motor, up to 90 km (~56 miles) assistance range and load bearing up to 170 kg (~375 lbs) across a front basket and rear luggage rack.
The 2023 Decathlon BTWIN Longtail Electric Cargo Bike R500E has arrived. The model is identical to its predecessor, the Elops Longtail R500, and is available in two new colors: Light Green and Beige. The e-bike has a 250W motor delivering up to 58 Nm torque, allowing you to transport loads up to 170 kg (~375 lbs). You can place luggage in the front basket or on an integrated rack at the rear with an adjustable retention bar.
The Longtail R500E’s torque sensor enables a more natural pedalling motion with three assistance modes. A 672 Wh lithium-ion battery from Samsung provides up to 90 km (~56 miles) range with 90% assistance in Eco Mode or 50 km (~31 miles) in Power Mode, providing 300% assistance. You can fully recharge the battery in under five hours, and a Walk Mode helps you to transport the bicycle at up to 6 kph (~4 mph). A handlebar-mounted LCD allows you to toggle between modes and shows your remaining range and distance travelled.
Other features include an eight-speed Microshift rear derailleur, Tektro hydraulic disc brakes and 26-in front and 20-in rear CST C1996 cargo bike tires. The e-bike weighs 38 kg (~84 lbs). You can now buy the Decathlon BTWIN Longtail Electric Cargo Bike R500E in European countries like France and Germany for €2,999. How and when Decathlon will roll out the new model to other markets remains unclear.
