Quindici E-comodo
Range: 50 km
This entry-level bike comes with fenders, a luggage rack, and front and rear lights. The 26-inch wheels lower the center of gravity, offering greater stability, which accommodates shorter individuals. Comfort is assured with the front suspension and a wide tire. This is a very good option for commuting in the city or for leisurely rides. A truly comfortable bike!
Specialized Creo SL Expert
Range: 130 km with internal battery and 65 km with the optional 160 Wh range extender.
Like many companies, Specialized is entering the electric road bike market this year, a niche still largely untapped in the field. Equipped with Ultegra hydraulic components, this model is a new beast for cyclists who want to go faster and further over long distances while maintaining the pleasure of riding a road bike.
Devinci e-cartier 2018
Range: 100 km
With its Shimano E6002 250W motor and 418 Wh battery, this model from the famous Quebec company offers a range of approximately 100 km and comes with fenders and a luggage rack. This hybrid bike allows for good peripheral vision thanks to its relatively upright position—useful in the city with cars—while maintaining a sporty ride.

Range: No estimated range, but several hours
This Trail category mountain bike, featuring a Rockshox Revelation front suspension with 150mm travel and a RockShox Monarch rear suspension, is made for all kinds of trails.
