With an e-bike, luck is within reach

What is an electric bike?
Electric bikes (also known as e-bikes or electrically assisted bikes) multiply the power of your pedalling thanks to an electric motor. E-bikes can look like regular bikes thanks to the same shape, design and functionality. In addition to shifters, brakes and handlebars, they also have a motor, a battery and a controller that lets you choose the level of assistance provided. There are e-bikes for different types of riding, from demanding mountain trails to cycle paths and roads. So wherever you ride, you’ll definitely find an e-bike that will take you there.
