FAQ
When should I reserve?
Reservations can be made a few days in advance or even on the day of activity.
Are there trails near the bike shop?
Yes, our bike rental shop is located next to the Petit Train du Nord trail, which is one of the longest biking trail in Mont-Tremblant. Mountain biking trails are also easily accessible.
Is the helmet included?
Yes.
Can we bike during winter?
Yes, our fatbikes are ideal for our winter conditions. Their very thick tires grip the snow perfectly.
What is an electric bike?
There are many electronic scooters that not require physical effort and rarely have pedals. Electric Bicycles are true bicycles, operation of the pedals is needed to progress further. The battery of the Electric Bike sends its power to the motor, to amplify the movement of the pedals. Therefore, the motor is limited in its assistance and does not distort the primary function of the bicycle. While riding you can use the motor to amplify the performance by 25% to 300% of the power you deploy, essentially making the rider a âbionic cyclistâ.
