However, if you want to enjoy the benefits of a VAE without having to part with your bicycle, electrification is the best solution. This involves motorizing a standard bicycle by fitting <a href=\"https:\/\/syklo.fr\/boutique\/\">a specific kit in the crankset<\/a> or in one of the two wheels. Whether you live in the capital of the historic Alsace region or elsewhere in France, this operation offers multiple advantages:  <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Less tiring travel<\/strong>: for urban cyclists, electrifying your bike means you can get around effortlessly. Thanks to its power, an electrified bike offers invaluable assistance on uphill gradients, enabling you to climb steep slopes with ease.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Optimizing urban mobility<\/strong>: an electrified bike will give you a much smoother ride around Strasbourg. In addition to helping you get around traffic jams, this vehicle also makes it easy to find parking.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Economical <\/strong>: equipping your bike with an electric motor is also economical. To<strong>buy an<\/strong> entry-level<strong>VAE<\/strong>, you&#8217;ll need to budget <strong>between 500 and 700 euros<\/strong>.  The most expensive models easily exceed 3,000 euros. On the other hand,<strong>installing a kit<\/strong> to convert a conventional bike into an EAB is much less expensive. Expect to pay between <strong>1,000 and 1,500 euros maximum<\/strong> for the electrification kit and battery (sometimes sold separately), and for installation by a professional. <\/li>\n<li> <strong>Ecological solution<\/strong>: if you&#8217;re an environmentalist at heart, reusing your mechanical bike means you don&#8217;t have to build a new EAB. Electrifying a classic model saves resources and energy.  Generally speaking, electric bicycles produce fewer greenhouse gases than other motorized vehicles.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13991 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/syklo.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/87331_-strasbourg-monuments-bike-bike-lanes-people-r_xl-1024-v1-0-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/syklo.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/87331_-strasbourg-monuments-bike-bike-lanes-people-r_xl-1024-v1-0-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/syklo.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/87331_-strasbourg-monuments-bike-bike-lanes-people-r_xl-1024-v1-0-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/syklo.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/87331_-strasbourg-monuments-bike-bike-lanes-people-r_xl-1024-v1-0-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/syklo.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/87331_-strasbourg-monuments-bike-bike-lanes-people-r_xl-1024-v1-0-600x600.png 600w, https:\/\/syklo.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/87331_-strasbourg-monuments-bike-bike-lanes-people-r_xl-1024-v1-0-1000x1000.png 1000w, https:\/\/syklo.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/87331_-strasbourg-monuments-bike-bike-lanes-people-r_xl-1024-v1-0.png 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>  How do you transform a classic model into an electric bike in Strasbourg?<\/h2>\n<p>Want to enjoy the benefits of an electric bike without actually buying one? Give your bicycle a new lease of life by<strong>installing<a href=\"https:\/\/syklo.fr\/produit\/kit-velo-electrique-moteur-pedalier-tsdz2b-urbanexplorer\/\">an electric kit<\/a><\/strong>. To do this, you first need to choose the type of electrification kit best suited to your needs: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Front-wheel motor kit<\/strong>: easy to install, this electric kit is integrated into the bike&#8217;s front wheel. This device is ideal for cyclists looking for <strong>light assistance<\/strong>. If you want to retain the traditional feel of a non-motorized vehicle, this model is recommended. Note, however, that the added weight at the front of the vehicle affects balance, especially if you&#8217;re traveling at high speed. <\/li>\n<li>The <strong>rear-wheel motor kit<\/strong>: thanks to its location in the rear wheel, this model guarantees <strong>even weight distribution<\/strong> and <strong>greater stability<\/strong>. Offering a sportier performance, this equipment makes the bike much more maneuverable, even on difficult terrain.<\/li>\n<li>The <strong>kit with pedal motor<\/strong>: if you want to convert your classic bike into a VAE, this pedal-mounted device is another alternative. Offering electric assistance linked to your own pedaling, this device makes driving much more natural and comfortable.
