The VAE rental service in Île-de-France allows you to rent an electric tricycle, but only for a duration of 3 months.
Three months. And not a day more. And any extension is impossible. The contract is abrupt at first glance and raises regrets. One might think it’s due to Véligo being unable to equip itself with an overly large fleet, but when success is there, why tighten the belt? Even more so when ecological transition is supposedly a top priority for the region…
On paper, the offer is very tempting for a family,甚至 too much if the region’s issue is the business model. Three wheels for transporting your children, especially in the crazy traffic of Paris, when it’s raining, cold, and the cobblestones are slippery, is a super safe idea. The cost starts at 40 euros/month, which is double the price of a standard electric bike offer (20 euros/month).
The box can carry up to 60 kg, while the electric range reaches 50 km (30 real). It offers three assistance modes and 8 mechanical gears. It is suitable for transporting two children aged 3 to 10 years.
A whole range of accessories are included with the rental: bench, seat belts, protective cover, battery charger, locks and chains, U-lock, etc.
Unfortunately, it all comes back to the same point: the 3-month experience should convince you – or not – if the tricycle is right for you. Then, you will need to purchase your own model other than Véligo (which does not sell its bikes), which involves a financial effort. Mobiwisy has recently rated Babboe’s offers, which can be supplemented with regional subsidies to reduce the price.
