Velos Electriques

To rush to La Défense , cross Porte d'Orléans , follow line 4 faster than lightning, pass the metro by driving on rue de Rivoli ... With the 50 km of new lanes dedicated to two-wheelers, the electric bicycle is seen as the coolest, safest and greenest means of transport in Paris.

How to obtain aid from the town hall and the region?

Are you hesitating? Note that it is possible to combine the aid from the town hall of Paris (reimbursement of 33% of the bike up to 400 €) and the sub from the Île-de-France region of France (50% maximum of the purchase price up to € 500).

In short, you will be able to please yourself. Especially if you swap the financing of your Navigo by your employer for a credit of € 400 . This new electric bike is already showing itself as much, much cheaper than expected. You choose which one.

The most “by bicycle”

“When we left early in the morning, when we set off on the roads… by bicycle!” The old Peugeot of yesteryear certainly accompanied your first pedal strokes without small wheels, worthy of a vintage postcard ...

The French label plays the card of tenderness and loyalty by ensuring your electrical transition with a lot, a lot of style. With a style as cool and retro as Paulette, the eLegend (22kg) appears as the new essential of the Parisienne. With the inimitable quality and know-how of the house.

The most “new vintage”

Make something new with old. This is the brilliant concept of Vintelo , this workshop-boutique that reinvents the concept of upcycling in the world of cycling. Retype rare pieces and vintage French, Dutch or British nuggets dating from Poulidor , found over old flea markets and garage sales… The shock team will then “ electrify ” the bike ( Peugeot , Raleigh , MBK …). The key: unique pieces that combine the charm of the old and the kif of the latest technologies. Their second genius idea for stashing the drums in style? Hide it ultra discreetly in a water bottle design.

The must ? The possibility of making your old family bike electric or even creating your 100% tailor-made two-wheeler by making them the list of your desires (brand, colors, etc.)
