B.E.A : Bike with Electric Assistance, a new and ecological activity

Cycling is undoubtedly one of the most environmentally friendly means of transport (after walking, course!). However, for the less athletic, it may be too physically demanding, whether in steep climbs or during long trips.

A new mode of transport has grown in recent years to combine ease of use and eco-mobility. This is the B.E.A : Bike with Electric Assistance.

Equipped with a motor and a lithium battery only providing pedal assist, electric bikes allow you to move with ease while preserving the feel and fun of traditional bike over 30km.

While our European neighbors have already one step ahead, our French partner StoryBike capitalized on this new means of locomotion. It's part of the great actors of eco-mobility. Located in the Alpes de Haute- Provence since April 2014, he specializes in the assembly, sales and renting of bikes with electric assistance.

To meet this eco-mobility problem, Franck Cauchy, founder of StoryBike, was able to design and create electric bikes tailored to different audiences and modes of travel. Since his company or his home, on vacation or during a recreational outlet, the electric bikes StoryBike offer travel convenience to discover. Among the partner companies who have capitalized on this concept, we can cite in particular South Concept in Vedène (84 270) 04 Bikes in Riez (04 500) or Ubaye Cycles in Barcelonnette (04 400).

To join this adventure, several walks and hikes in electric bikes are being developed by our agency in the Verdon Gorges area. To discover and visit this high charm place, pedaling in the middle of the lavender fields of Valensole, on the road or lookouts along the steep paths of Verdon ! StoryBike sells 2 models of B.E.A, a model adapted to urban outlets and one more focused on off-road. In this way, the customer can choose the bike that best suits the intended use.

The rechargeable battery in 3 to 8 hours depending on the model, have a range of up to 40km, and no require special maintenance. In addition, you can achieve gradual and assisted the 25km / h, allowing you to make long trips without too tired.

The electric bike is ideal for commuting and sport in simplicity. The while making significant savings compared to fuel and preserving our ecosystem, become fragile.
