Testimonials
“We discovered a new way to travel”.
Economical, ecological and social, the electric bike makes it possible to cover distances in Corsica that would be impossible with a conventional bike. For the first time in their lives, Stéphane and his partner have chosen to forget the car and use the electric bike for all their travels in Corsica.
