To make her daily commute more efficient and get more use out of her bike, she decided to go electric. <\/p>\n<h2><strong>Description of the Electrified Front Bike<\/strong>:<\/h2>\n<p>Pauline bought her <strong>second-hand<\/strong> bike on <strong>Le Bon Coin for \u20ac200<\/strong>. Despite its pre-owned nature, the bike is in excellent condition. After a minor <strong>overhaul<\/strong> (brakes, tires) and the addition of more powerful lights than the dynamo, it&#8217;s perfectly suited to his urban needs.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Reasons for Electrification<\/strong>:<\/h2>\n<p>Pauline wanted to switch to an Electrically Assisted Bike (EAB) to improve her cycling experience. However, lacking the means for a new top-of-the-range model and a bad experience with a low-end <a href=\"https:\/\/syklo.fr\/produit\/roadrive-45-kit-velo-electrique-moteur-roue\/\">wheel-mounted<\/a> bike, she decided to turn to electrification. <strong>A friend introduced him to this solution<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Choice of Syklo Kit<\/strong>:<\/h2>\n<p>That&#8217;s how Pauline chose Syklo for her electrification project. She opted for <a href=\"https:\/\/syklo.fr\/produit\/kit-velo-electrique-moteur-pedalier-tsdz2b-urbanexplorer\/\">our 360Wh kit with Expert display<\/a>. This lightweight, designer configuration, together with the ability to monitor consumption, was just what he was looking for. Our commitment as a small French company offering excellent after-sales service made Pauline&#8217;s choice all the more convincing.   <\/p>\n<h2><strong>Kit installation<\/strong>:<\/h2>\n<p>With Syklo&#8217;s technical assistance and her boyfriend&#8217;s help in <strong>dismantling the crankset<\/strong>, Pauline was able to easily install the kit on her bike.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Experience After Electrification<\/strong>:<\/h2>\n<p>This kit has transformed Pauline&#8217;s cycling life. Assistance is smooth and natural, making his bike more agile than a friend&#8217;s electrified Bafang BBS01. <\/p>\n<h2><strong>Conclusion<\/strong>:<\/h2>\n<p>Pauline&#8217;s experience is testimony to Syklo&#8217;s commitment to accessible, sustainable and adaptable mobility. Thanks to our electrification kits, we can help cyclists who want to <a href=\"https:\/\/syklo.fr\/produit\/kit-velo-electrique-tsdz8-powertrail\/\">go electric without giving up their existing bike<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3563\" src=\"https:\/\/syklo.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/electrification-elops-530.png\" alt=\"elops 530 electrification\" width=\"627\" height=\"399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/syklo.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/electrification-elops-530.png 627w, https:\/\/syklo.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/electrification-elops-530-600x382.png 600w, https:\/\/syklo.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/electrification-elops-530-300x191.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 627px) 100vw, 627px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve installed the kit on my Decathlon Elops 520 and it looks great!
