The concept
Biking is a fabulous way of discovery a place as it allows moving around silently at ideal speed; not too slow, not too fast. That ideal speed however requires varying efforts, from one person to the other and from one terrain to the other. Mauritius has beautiful sceneries for biking but the climate layering the distances may not suit everyone.
Electric bikes are the way to have each member of a family, of a bunch of friends enjoy the ride; especially when they are guided by professionals who attach importance to the preservation of natural and human capitals.
