The frame of Eovolt bicycles is made of aluminium, the same one used on aircraft. Besides its weight, it is interesting when sailing, because aluminium does not rust. A small detail, this electric bike, which has a screen to manage the battery and the level of assistance, is also equipped with a USB plug to recharge your laptop while on the road. Grand Pavois is one of the references in the nautical world. Like the Cannes Yachting Festival, it takes place in September and is one of the most important boat shows. It was created by and for boating professionals. For 6 days, enthusiasts and professionals of the nautical industry gather to discover the models on display and the new products to come.
