Transform your old bike into an electric bike

You’re not ready to part with that beloved bike you’ve maintained and cherished for years? Give it a little youth!

This bike has taken you to work, to the firefighters’ ball, to the bakery, or to the local bistro to meet your friends. It has accompanied you every Sunday morning on your sports outings. Your child borrowed it, ending up with their first stitches after attempting a jump on a dirt bump. You know better than anyone that a bike is not just a simple means of transportation but an object to which you can become attached. However, as we age, our arteries remind us, and a little electric assistance would significantly simplify your travels. Yet, you find it hard to splurge on the range from Decathlon or Intersport, while the Angell bikes and other Ducati bikes are out of budget.

Ride Differently

At Mobiwisy, we love good ideas, and the Vendée-based brand Célérifère may have the solution with its innovation: an electrification kit that transforms any traditional bike into an e-bike. If your bike is compatible, Célérifère can bring it into the 21st century by adding two components: a motor and a battery. The motor is equipped with a smart sensor that detects cadence and gear ratio. The battery, shaped like a traditional bottle, discreetly fits onto a suitable mount on the frame. It features a smart display integrated into its “cap”. The digital screen allows users to check the battery level and display error codes in case of a malfunction.

The kit comes with an intuitive and easy-to-use mobile app: it displays real-time speed, allows you to adjust five levels of power, and check the battery power level.

Priced between 648 and 678 euros, the kit is certainly not cheap, but it’s not about owning the most powerful or longest-lasting electric bike. The idea is to extend the lifespan of an object that is dear to you and to travel more intelligently.
