Which model to choose according to your use?
Urban electric bike (City E-Bike)
The simplest and most versatile choice for visiting Paris. Light, easy to handle, and comfortable, it’s ideal for exploring the must-see spots: the Eiffel Tower, Le Marais, Montmartre, or the Canal Saint-Martin.
Perfect if you want a bike that’s easy to use and delivers excellent performance in the city.
Longtail electric bike (long cargo)
Ideal for couples and families. This model can carry a child or an adult passenger while remaining responsive and enjoyable to ride.
Recommended for a full day of exploration, especially if you plan to go to Montmartre or ride on long bike paths.
Electric two-wheeler cargo bike (front cargo bike)
The perfect bike for those who want to transport 1 to 2 children comfortably while maintaining excellent stability. Highly appreciated by families for gently visiting Paris, making frequent stops, and enjoying the ride safely.
Practical in parks, along the riverbanks, and for sightseeing trips with children.
Electric tricycle cargo bike (3-wheel cargo bike)
The most stable model for families with 2 to 3 children, or for those who want ultra-secure riding. Ideal for a relaxed ride, photo stops, and an easygoing pace. Less suited for climbs (e.g., Montmartre), but perfect along the riverbanks, bike paths, and quiet areas.
Foldable bike
The perfect choice if you’re looking for convenience and total freedom during your visit to Paris. Ultra-compact and lightweight, the folding bike can be easily stored in a café, a museum, or even on public transport if you want to combine metro + bike.
Ideal for those who want to explore several neighborhoods without worrying about parking, or for travelers staying in hotels/apartments with limited space.
A simple, flexible, and very urban solution for discovering Paris at your own pace.
Gravel bike
Perfect for lovers of beautiful rides and varied terrain. The gravel bike combines comfort, versatility, and performance, making it an excellent choice for exploring Paris but also for venturing out to nearby parks and forests (Bois de Vincennes, Bois de Boulogne).
With stability, wide tires, and a comfortable riding position, it’s the ideal model for those who want to ride for long periods without being limited to bike lanes alone.
Recommended if you’re looking for a sporty yet accessible bike, capable of handling cobblestones, paths, and long distances.
Racing bike (Road bike)
The choice for sporty cyclists who want to make the most of their day by riding fast, far, and efficiently.
Lightweight, responsive, and built for performance, the road bike is perfect if you want to rack up kilometers, ride along the Seine, leave Paris, or climb the hills around the capital.
Less suitable for frequent stops and very touristy areas, but ideal for a sporty session or a big loop Paris → Versailles → St-Cloud.
Choose this option if your priority is speed, efficiency, and the enjoyment of road cycling.
