Going on vacation and leaving the car in the garage is one of the trends of recent years.
Indeed, many travelers now prefer cycling for their journeys during the holidays.
Not only is it an ecological means of transport that allows you to do sports, but in addition, it highlights a new way of traveling, slower, softer, which allows you to radically break with a rhythm of life which requires going ever faster.
The use of the bicycle during the holidays is not new, on the other hand, the tendency which consists in organizing “road trip” with bicycle is more it.
It is therefore not surprising that companies are rushing into this breach to offer advanced services to cyclists.
This is particularly the case of Hexplo, a French start-up that has a lot of ideas.
Good deals unearthed for you on electric bikes:
Wayscral Everyway E200 28″ electric city bike at €849 instead of €999
Xiaomi Mi Smart Foldable Electric Bike at the price of 799€99
Velobécane electric bike at the price of 619€99
Velair Shimano foldable electric bike priced at €687.99

A kind of Waze, but entirely designed for cycling: it adapts to the particularities of the roads when traveling by bicycle.
