Thousands of new Vélib' ordered at the end of 2022 are finally arriving on the ground. No jolts in the pedals, no squeaking brakes, no skipping gears and no more electric assistance which gives up after a few meters.
The new bikes are finally being deployed in around 1,500 stations of the “largest self-service bicycle network in the world” Users who have already had the chance to borrow them say they are very simple and efficient. “Now when I arrive at the station, I systematically check to see if there are new models, there is less risk of unpleasant surprises,” adds Julie, 42, also Parisian.
