Why?<\/span> <\/b><\/h4>\n

No, we don’t offer conversions. We have a wide selection of electric-assist bicycles (EBikes)<\/a> in store and to order. An e-bike is equipped with a smart motor, which only activates when the rider pedals. This is called pedal-assist. Do you love cycling, but climbing hills or pedaling for long time periods exhausts you? An electric-assist model could give you the boost you’ve been missing. See the selection criteria to consider to find the best road, mountain, or hybrid bike.<\/span><\/p>\n

Electric-assist bicycles may be more suitable for urban use, leisure use, mountain biking, or road use. Performance and feel on the handlebars also depend on the type of frame and equipment used on the bike.<\/span><\/p>\n

In general, neither the electric motor nor the batteries require any special maintenance. Only the chassis needs to be maintained, as any conventional bicycle. However, the battery of an electric bicycle is sensitive to temperature differences. Generally speaking, bicycles sold in supermarkets all have small (and sometimes major) defects, such as lower-quality parts, less efficient brakes, heavy weight, shorter warranties, etc. In addition, the service offered in department stores will never be as personalized as that provided in specialist shops. However, even if the bicycles in supermarkets do not perform as well as those sold in boutiques, certain models may be suitable for you.<\/span><\/p>\n

EBikes<\/a> have been around since the 30s. They reappeared in the late 1970s and have seen a resurgence in popularity since 2000, with the evolution of performance in line with that of batteries<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

PEDELEC (pedal electric cycle)<\/em> \u2013 This is a true electric bicycle. The electric assistance only works when you pedal, which means the bike cannot be propelled solely by the motor. For example, the Specialized Turbo \/ Levo \/ Vado \/ Como \/ Tero<\/a> sold in Canada are PEDELECs, with the electric assistance limited to a maximum of 32 km\/h \u2013 if you exceed this speed, the additional effort comes from the rider. This is required by law, because if the assistance reaches higher speeds, it is considered a motorized vehicle and requires a license. Once you reach the famous 32 km\/h (legal limit), you can still push on the pedals and get your exercise!<\/span><\/p>\n

Don’t get me wrong; you can’t avoid putting effort into a pedelec<\/em>. It can help you up a hill, or allow you to maintain a higher speed over a longer distance, but you still have to pedal!<\/span><\/p>\n

There are different classes of eBikes approved by the BPSA:<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
