Festival Fever: Vélo in Paris Recap
Late April brought the highly anticipated Vélo in Paris festival to the Parc Floral, and we were there in full force. The sun was shining, the energy was electric, and every cycling brand worth its salt came out to show off the latest gear. From sleek commuter rigs to rugged mountain e-bikes, the lineup was so extensive you could have spent all day just gawking at tech demos and test tracks.
Our resident pros—Matthieu Lauraux, freelance e-bike whiz, and Mathieu Chartier, co-founder of Transition Vélo—dug into the event highlights. They chatted up designers, tested battery performance under load, and broke down market trends. By the end of the day, we had fresh insights on where the industry’s headed and which innovations are worth your hard-earned cash.
The Mystery of the Stinky Lock
You heard that right: a bike lock that literally stinks like a decaying corpse. Sounds like an urban myth, right? Well, we snagged one at the festival and can confirm there’s a patented chemical blend inside designed to repel thieves with a nose for convenience. It’s not exactly pleasant, but one whiff and you’ll never leave your ride unguarded again.
Beyond the shock factor, this “corpse scent” lock packs military-grade steel shackles and an alarm system that blasts a shrill siren if tampered with. It might smell awful, but when it comes to keeping your prized two-wheeler safe, we’re willing to sacrifice a sniff or two.
Our Top Electric Bike Picks by Budget
This is where we break out our wallet-friendly, midrange, and high-end e-bike champs. Each of us grabs a price bracket and lays down why that model rules the roost. Spoiler alert: there’s something for every rider, whether you’re zipping through city streets or climbing steep trails.
Budget Bliss: For under $1,000, you’d be amazed at the range and reliability packed in these entry-level e-bikes. They may skip some fancy features, but they still deliver solid pedal-assist and a comfortable ride.
Midrange Marvel: Around $2,000, we’re talking longer battery life, hydraulic disc brakes, and more refined frames. Our choice in this category strikes the perfect balance between performance and price.
Premium Powerhouse: Pushing $4,000 and up, these models offer top-tier motors, integrated displays, and carbon fiber options. If you want the best, expect to pay for advanced tech and style.
Each pick gets a thorough breakdown on the show, complete with real-world testing, pro opinions, and a verdict on value for money.
