Muscular drive only, or electric assistance ?
VeMoo aims for sobriety: material and energy savings, simplicity and reliability.
VeMoo must always be ready for use.
Dependence on a battery and the use of a complex transmission system are weak points, and the bicycles of our ancestors are a reference point.
The ideal situation is to be able to move using only the power of your legs.
“So we’re staying on the bike !”
In fact, the bicycle is an optimum of simplicity, robustness and efficiency. VeMoo’s objectives are different: more practical, safer, more protective, faster.
VeMoo is heavier than a bike. We’ve all seen how weight and hills can combine to make pedalling assistance indispensable on slopes.
On the other hand, the use of a battery and a motor increases the environmental impact of VeMoo’s production and use, especially when you consider the social context of mineral extraction.
“It’s good to have a bit more pedal power !”
That’s why VeMoo is available with or without electric assistance. Your needs and the topology of your environment determine exactly how much assistance you really need.
If your trip to work is 8 km and there is no incline, assistance will probably not be necessary. If you have to cycle 15km to work with a 200m climb, it’s probably a good idea to opt for electric assistance.
As each case is different, we’ll advise you as best we can on the choice of assistance that best suits your needs to ensure you enjoy a comfortable ride.
