VAEs are accessible to everyone! They are equipped with a motor that improves your pedaling and thus offers assistance to better support your effort. However, to twist your neck to received ideas, you still have to pedal to move forward.

Hello, I just went to the site. I saw the amount of the deposits. Without hiding anything from you, it scares me. What happens if I have my bike stolen during the activity or if I break it, is my deposit taken?

Leonie (75)

Hello Léonie,

Rest assured, everything is in place so that your deposit is not taken. Indeed, the breakage and theft insurance taken out with Tulip is included in the rental price.

This insurance covers all accidental breakage of the bicycle and theft by assault / break-in.

In the event of a problem, the excess is 10% of the amount of repairs in the event of breakage and 10% of the value of the bike in the event of theft.

Theft of the bicycle not attached to a fixed point and damage caused intentionally are not covered by the insurance.

For example, if you break a part of the bike and the amount of the repair is 100 €, you will have to pay an amount of 10 €, that is to say the 10% deductible. The rest is the responsibility of our insurer.

The deposit is for Vél'OFIL the guarantee of careful use of our bikes by our customers. This will be returned to you when the bike is returned if no damage is noted. In the event of a deterioration, your deposit will be returned to you once the amount of the excess has been paid.
