E-Bike Specs, Battery Life, and Riding Modes

Charge to 100% before the 3-hour tour; Eco mode handles most of the ride to extend range.

E-bike specifications help you plan pace and understand what powers your ride. The standard Lyon models use a 250W rear-hub motor with pedal-assist capped by French regulations, ensuring smooth acceleration without surprise bursts. The battery is a 504Wh nominal pack (36V, about 14Ah) with a weight near 2.8 kg, designed to endure hundreds of charges. Real-world cycles vary, but a well-kept pack typically delivers 500–1000 full cycles before noticeable degradation.

• Motor: 250W rear-hub assist, limited to 25 km/h by regulation for safe city rides.
• Battery and size: 504Wh nominal capacity; frame sizes include S/M/L with a step-through option for easy mounting. Total bike weight sits around 22–26 kg, and the battery adds about 2.8 kg.
• Range expectations: in urban Lyon with moderate hills, expect 40–60 km per charge; Eco mode can push to 60–90 km; plan around 50–70 km for a typical 3-hour itinerary.
• Charging and care: full charge takes roughly 4–6 hours; avoid long storage at 100% in hot conditions; a 1.5–2 hour top-up to 80% is feasible when available. After rides, store at 0–25°C and keep the battery connected until you reach a charger.
• Drivetrain and brakes: hydraulic disc brakes provide reliable stopping power; 9–10 speed setups deliver clean shifts on city climbs.
• Display and safety features: color LCD shows battery, range estimator, current mode, and trip data; integrated lights enhance visibility during dusk or rain.

1. Eco mode: 40–60% assist, maxing range and quiet operation; ideal for flats or gradual descents. Use this for most of the ride to preserve charge.
2. Tour mode: 60–85% assist, balanced power for rolling hills and steady pacing; keeps speed around 20–22 km/h and is the recommended default for a 3-hour route.
3. Sport (Turbo) mode: 100% assist, fast response for short bursts on straight sections or when overtaking; conserve for short intervals and stay within city speed limits.

Safety and pacing are built into every ride. Small-group formats keep the experience thorough and responsive to your pace. A brief pre-ride safety check covers tire pressure, brakes, lights, and battery connection. We also outline hand signals and safe positioning near monuments and during quick turns on narrow lanes. Bring a glass water bottle, a light jacket for changeable weather, and a compact rain plan, since also rains can appear unexpectedly in Lyon.

Packages and bookings are designed for love of cycling and culture. If you’re curious about additional routes or extended explorations, consider short add-ons with our historical tours that focus on iconic monuments and local French culture. After your ride, you gain insights into the city’s past and present, and you can compare notes with fellow riders in a casual, small-group setting.

Minimal parvarish talab qiladigan va sizning uslubingizga mos keladigan narsalarni tanlang, shunda o'zgaruvchan sharoitlarda ham o'zingizni qulay his qilasiz.

Ruhiy tayyorgarlik muhim: realistik sur'atni belgilang va gidning sharhlari sizga arxitektura, mintaqaviy mahallalar va parklar haqida bilishga yordam bersin. Muntazam ravishda suv iching va asosiy nuqtai nazarlarda qisqa tanaffuslar qiling; zarbalarni yutish uchun bo'sh ushlagichni va yumshoq tirsaklarni saqlang. Sayohat shaharning ta'mini va ajoyib daryo manzaralarini namoyish etadigan turli xil bekatlarni taklif qiladi va kelajakdagi sayohatlar uchun amaliy g'oyalar beradi.

Nimalar quyidagilar kiradi: ishonchli elektr velosiped, dubulg'a, suv va daryo bo'yidagi go'zal joyda fotosuratlar va toza havo uchun o'rtada tanaffus.

Tanaffus barchaga sur'atni yo'qotmasdan, tetiklashishga va quvvat olishga yordam beradi.

Velosiped sozlash va moslash: bizning velosipedlarimiz chavandozning bo'yi va qulaylik darajasiga moslashadi, yordam darajasi esa erga moslashadi. Velosiped haydashni yaxshi ko'radigan chavandozlar doimiy sur'atni tanlashlari mumkin, boshlanuvchilar esa Eco rejimida qolishlari mumkin. Agar sizda maxsus ehtiyojlar bo'lsa, bron qilish paytida ularni tilga oling, shunda biz marshrut va sur'atni qayerga borishni xohlasangiz, moslashtira olamiz.

Xavfsizlik va uskunalar: dubulg'a kiying, guruh bilan birga bo'ling va yo'lboshchining ko'rsatmalariga amal qiling. Yo'nalish asosan himoyalangan velosiped yo'laklari va daryo bo'ylab o'tadi, bu yerda bizning ishtiyoqli mahalliy yo'lboshchilar mahalliy madaniyat va eng yaxshi suratga olish joylari haqida maslahat berishadi. Yagona yo'lboshchi siz minayotganingizda Bartholdi, Saône va Quai istiqbollarini ta'kidlashni yaxshi ko'radi.

Tanlov va tavsiyalar: agar siz ijtimoiy muloqotni qadrlasangiz, kichik guruhga qo'shiling; agar sizga shaxsiy tajriba kerak bo'lsa, shaxsiy turni bron qiling va marshrutni Bartholdi haykali va Saona bo'ylab qirg'oq ko'rinishlari kabi joylarni o'z ichiga olgan holda sozlang. Bizning gidlarimiz mahalliy muhitni ta'minlaydi va velosipedda vaqtingizni maksimal darajada oshirish uchun tezda moslasha oladi.

Qanday qilib bron qilish mumkin: 1-qadam sanani tanlang; 2-qadam guruh variantini tanlang; 3-qadam haydovchi tafsilotlari va velosiped o'lchamini aniqlash uchun bo'yini ko'rsating; 4-qadam, imkoniyatlar yoki uskunalar kerakligini qayd eting; 5-qadam tasdiqlang. Toʻlov vaqtida aniq narxlar va mavjud joylarni koʻrasiz, shuningdek, uchrashuv yoʻnalishlari va Saôn qirgʻogʻidagi Quai Bartholdi xaritasini oʻz ichiga olgan tasdiq xabarini olasiz.
