The Van Rysel E-EDR AF e-road bike is now on sale at Decathlon in various EU countries. The lightweight model features a Mahle X35 system with multiple connectivity options and an accompanying GPS computer. Other features include an SRAM APEX AXS groupset and a 160 km (~100 miles) assistance range.
That thing looks slick AF 😍
Admittedly a bit sporty for me though, nowhere to attach a pannier rack for shopping or make it a bit more practical from a utility perspective
Why wouldn’t you be able to add a rack? You just need the size of the tire. It goes on the bolts that hold on the back tire.
Edit: waaaaaait, I just noticed it
Found a solution, though: https://aeroe.com/products/spider-pannier-rack
You can totally install a standard rack, the bike frame has the standard holes, it looks like.
You’re right, I thought they were absent due to the geometry of the bike.
That bike has pannier mounts. Look at the hole near the wheel and the hole near the seat tube.
Just had another look - looks like you are right! Initially I thought the mounting points near the seat tube were unthreaded, but it seems the threads are actually recessed quite deep inside
