Using a gearbox means rediscovering the pleasure of riding and only riding. The cyclist no longer has to worry about shifting gears before stopping at a red light in order to get going again or before a difficulty. Whether fully loaded or freewheeling, he can shift gears.
Coupled with the Valeo electric motor, the gearbox can even become 100% automatic via the Valeo Cyclee. In this case, as with a car, the cyclist does not have to worry about anything: the electronics will choose the right gear for him or her according to the pedalling speed, the slope and the grip conditions.
It is also possible to have a walk assist for use as a cargo bike, for example.
