So you’d like to hire a bicycle to see Paris properly (really, it’s great), you love cycling (at least, as far as you remember), but perhaps you’re not great with steep slopes? Or maybe you’re trying to get fit but still dragging a little excess flab with you…

Help is at hand with Paris’ latest bike shop, Velo Electro (Electro Bike!).

Especially for the lazy tourist that snoozes in you, they sell and rent bikes with a electric motor that gives you the extra “oomph” to get you right to the top of Montmartre without looking like a giant sweaty tomato. You’ll never want to pedal again.

Expect to pay around 20 euros for 24 hours, 30 euros for 48 hours or 50 euros for a whole week.

Velo Electro, 50, rue Saint-Georges, 75009 Paris
