About your bike

About electric pedal assist

àVélo electric power–assisted bicycles, or pedelecs, have an electric pedal assist mode that pitches in to supplement the pedal power you provide.

The motor tops up your output so you don’t have to spend as much energy. That assistance depends on how fast you pedal. If you coast, your pedelec coasts too.

Your speed and battery level are displayed on the screen (the level has to be at least 20% for the bike to be released for rental).

Lock

If you wan to stop during your ride, you can use the lock provided on the bike. There’s a label in the front basket explaining how your àVélo lock works.

  • Pull out the cable at the top of the basket and lock the end into the socket below the handlebars.
  • Remove the black key on the left and take it with you.
  • To unlock, gently turn the key in the lock until it releases.

Note:The clock keeps running while you’re stopped and you’ll pay the same rate as you do when you’re riding.

Safety

Helmets are required by law when riding a pedelec.
