Electric bike: Michelin launches Wayscal

Partnering with Norauto and Wayscral, Michelin launches its first electric bike with the Wayscral Hybrid Powered by Michelin. Feature: Integrated as a kit, the system can be removed in just a few seconds.

Classic or electric bike ... Michelin gives you the choice! The under-boot system was developed by Sasha Lakic, a renowned designer in the world of two-wheeled vehicles, who, among other things, collaborated with Venturi on the Wattman electric motorcycle. Placed under the trunk, it integrates a battery and an electric motor, a roller that drives the rear wheel. Equipped with a small handle for easy transport, it can be removed in less than three seconds. The set weighs only three kilograms.

The 36-volt system combines a 250 W electric motor delivering up to 30 Nm of torque with a 7 Ah battery providing a range of up to 50 km on a single charge.

From 999 euros

The Michelin e-bike, available in either a men's or women's frame, is offered by Wayscral, distributed by the Norauto group, which sells it for 999 euros.

On the bike side, the Wayscral HYBRID Powered by Michelin uses a Shimano Altus 7-speed derailleur, Michelin tires and mechanical disc brakes for 18kg, including an electrification system.
