Decathlon Unveils the Van Rysel FTP² E-Bike at Velofollies, with a Motor of Up to 850 W and Radical Performance. Learn What This Model Could Mean for the Future of Electric Bicycles.
Decathlon revealed in January, at the Velofollies event in Kortrijk (Belgium), an e-bike that challenges the limits of current cycling technology, combining a discreet traditional bicycle look with surprising power and a futuristic proposal.
The Van Rysel FTP² model, weighing about 15 kg and presented in 2026, incorporates an advanced electric system with up to 850 W of power from the Mahle M40 motor and 105 Nm of torque, promising to double the functional power of the cyclist compared to conventional models.
Next, understand in detail what makes this Decathlon e-bike one of the most talked-about in recent days within the world of electric bicycles and technology applied to sports mobility.

Van Rysel FTP²: A Concept E-Bike with a Regular Bicycle Look
The Van Rysel FTP² stands out at first glance for resembling a traditional bicycle, without the typical bulk of exposed motors and batteries.
However, the integration of the motor and battery is so discreet that its aerodynamic design completely hides the electrical components, resulting in a clean and sophisticated look.
This type of design is uncommon in e-bikes — the acronym used for electric bicycles — which typically display visible electrical components.
Decathlon’s proposal goes further: to offer performance and power without compromising aesthetics.
Motor and Performance: What the Mahle M40 Promises
The heart of the Van Rysel FTP² is the Mahle M40 motor, a unit that delivers up to 850 W of maximum power and 105 Nm of torque.
This motor was originally designed for mountain bikes but has been perfectly adapted for an electrically-assisted road experience.
This configuration promises not only smooth and rapid assistance but also a significant increase in the force applied by the cyclist.
In practical terms, this means that the e-bike can enhance the user’s effort capacity in a much more noticeable way than conventional models.
Innovation in the Cockpit and Integrated Control
Another highlight of this Decathlon e-bike is the futuristic cockpit that integrates advanced controls, allowing the cyclist to adjust gears and assistance modes without taking their hands off the handlebars.
Additionally, the FTP² features unprecedented functions, such as micrometric shoe adjustment directly from the handlebars — a functionality that reinforces the experimental and technological nature of the project.
Although the Van Rysel FTP² model is not scheduled for immediate sale, it serves as a “laboratory on wheels” that signals the direction in which Decathlon — a global giant in the sports market — could take its future e-bike launches.
This type of concept often serves as inspiration for technologies that will be adapted into commercial models, with high power, integrated design, and a focus on performance.
Therefore, even without a launch date for the public, this novelty marks an important step in the evolution of electric bicycles, paving the way for lighter, more powerful, and aesthetically innovative products.
Decathlon E-Bike Van Rysel FTP²: Market Impact and Expectations
The announcement of the Van Rysel FTP² e-bike reinforces Decathlon’s position in the electric sports mobility segment, especially at a time when the demand for electric bicycles is growing globally.
Moreover, the initiative inspires expectations that future commercial models may exceed traditional performance and design barriers.
In summary, this concept e-bike promises to be an important turning point, both for Decathlon and for the e-bike market as a whole.
By presenting the Van Rysel FTP², Decathlon has demonstrated that the future of e-bikes can go far beyond what we know today — uniting power, aesthetics, and technological innovation in a single project.
