FAQ – electric bike and motorbike test rides
How long does a trial last?
A test drive usually lasts between 30 and 60 minutes. This gives you the chance to experience the smoothness of the PERS electronic transmission, test the energy recovery system and assess the driving experience in real-world conditions.
Can I try on several styles during the same appointment?
Absolutely. During your test ride, you can compare different models depending on your intended use: city riding, touring or off-road. You can also test ride an electric motorcycle at the same time, subject to availability.
Do you offer test drives outside Annecy?
Yes. Firstly, we organise test rides in Annecy, at the heart of our workshops. This allows you to discover our models in the very environment where they are designed and assembled. What’s more, this immersive experience lets you step into the world of Ateliers HeritageBike. You can also speak directly with our team. In addition, we offer test rides in your area, subject to availability. Our test ride tours are scheduled throughout the year. We’ll come to you to organise a personalised test ride. The tests then take place in real-world conditions, similar to your everyday life. Finally, our aim is simple: to let you discover our exceptional electric bikes and motorbikes. Each test ride takes place in the setting best suited to your needs.
Is the trial free?
Of course, test drives are available free of charge by appointment. Our aim is to let you try out our models at your leisure so that you can make an informed choice.
What is PERS technology (Cixi)?
The PERS (Pedaling Energy Recovery System) is an innovation that replaces traditional mechanical transmission: there is neither a chain nor a belt. The energy produced while pedaling is managed electronically and can be optimized thanks to energy recovery, providing a smooth riding sensation and a brand-new experience. Discover our electric bikes equipped with PERS and, to learn more about the technology, visit the official Cixi website.
Why book an appointment?
A Test ride of a chainless electric bike lets you experience what no technical specification can convey: the absence of a mechanical drivetrain, the precision of the handling, the balance and the controlled power. It’s the best way to discover the world of Ateliers HeritageBike.
