VéloZef, the self-service electrically assisted bicycle

Presentation of the service 

VéloZef is the name of the self-service electric bicycle offer of Brest métropole. VéloZef completes the Bibus transport offer and allows the inhabitants of the metropolis to benefit from a 100% electric bicycle rental service, adapted to short distance or short duration trips.

The Vélozef service, which will be launched in June 2021 as an experiment, has been completely renewed and redesigned this spring. It is operated by the service provider Fifteen and now offers : 

185 efficient Fifteen bicycles (with a range of up to 65 km), easy to handle, light and simple to use; 

29 stations spread across the city, in Brest, Plouzané and Le Relecq-Kerhuon, allowing a dense and evolving network of the territory where the service is available. 

The bikes are connected to each other and to a single charging station via electromagnets that allow energy to be transferred
