Happy Cargo Bike option
Electrify this bike to suit your needs
This bike is sold without a motor or battery. We can fit it with an electric kit tailored to you: you choose the motor power and battery capacity according to your use. Feasibility confirmed depending on the model.
Motor power
125 W250 W300 W400 W500 W
Up to 250 W: an electrically assisted bicycle under European law, with assistance up to 25 km/h.
Above 250 W, the bike is no longer an electrically assisted bicycle under the law: its use is the customer’s sole responsibility.

Bike ready to be electrified — let’s work it out together
You have this bike, ready to receive its motor. Once electrified: assisted speed limited to 25 km/h (that is the law, for everyone), approved 250 W motor — and it is the torque, in newton-metres, that makes the real difference when setting off and on hills. Lots of children on board? A load? Answer three questions.
1 · Who do you carry?
2 · Your terrain?
3 · Your trips?
Our recommendation
250 W motor · aim for 60 to 70 Nm · battery 48 V 17 Ah (≈ 816 Wh)
Our kits range from 125 to 500 W: above 250 W, use is restricted to private land, at your own responsibility — we will tell you frankly if your needs justify it.
Tell us about your use: the motor and battery you need take shape. The higher the gauges climb towards red, the more strength and range your use requires.

Indicative estimate, with a 30% reserve so you do not finish the day with a flat battery and to allow for the cold. Describe your route to us: we will confirm the right choice.
Understanding battery, motor and range
The battery = the tank
Its capacity is measured in watt-hours (Wh): voltage (V) multiplied by amp-hours (Ah). More Wh means more kilometres between charges, but neither more speed nor more power.
The motor = the strength
What matters is torque, in newton-metres (Nm): it makes the difference when setting off, on hills and with children or a load. For an electrically assisted bicycle, European law limits power to 250 W and cuts assistance at 25 km/h: maximum assisted speed is therefore the same for all; a higher-torque motor reaches it more easily, even when loaded.
Range = your use
With the same battery, range varies a lot depending on the assistance level chosen (from Eco to Turbo), hills, the weight carried, average speed, wind, tyre pressure and cold weather, which reduces capacity.
The right motor and battery depend on your route (hills, distance, load, passengers): we choose them together when you send us your request.

Le Petit Porteur e Longtail
Cargo bikesElectricTwo wheels
The most compact longtail on the market (176 cm) in its electric version: 250 W / 80 Nm mid-drive motor with torque sensor, 520 Wh battery, lights wired to the battery with a brake light. Two children at the back, cargo at the front, mudguards and double kickstand as standard.
The original compact carrier in its electric version: 250 W / 80 Nm mid-drive motor with torque sensor and 520 Wh battery to tackle any climb, even loaded. Large frame-mounted front rack, 20-inch wheels, hydraulic disc brakes.
The small city-ready format in its electric version: 250 W / 80 Nm mid-drive motor, 520 Wh battery, accessible position from 1.50 m. Frame-mounted front rack, 20-inch wheels, hydraulic brakes.
The original: a cross between a BMX and a cargo bike, lively and light, with its large front rack fixed to the frame and a very low centre of gravity. 20-inch wheels, CrMo steel frame. The version to choose between 1.70 m and 1.90 m. Also available E-Bike Ready or as a frame kit.
The most compact of the family: 5 cm shorter than the OG, saddle from 75 cm off the ground, designed for riders from 1.50 m to 1.80 m. A remarkably stiff frame, 20-inch wheels and the same front rack as the OG. Also available E-Bike Ready or as a frame kit.
