Rediscover the freedom to ride

Electric-assist bicycles (EABs) are redefining our relationship with the land. In Quebec, they are no longer a niche product, but a true revolution in sustainable mobility.
They allow you to go further, faster, while staying active.
Yet, certain prejudices persist. Here's the truth behind the most common myths.

Myth 1: "They're for lazy people"

This is the most persistent misconception. However, an EAB is not a motorcycle. The motor only engages if you pedal: it amplifies your own strength.

Myth 2: "They're too heavy"

Early models were indeed massive. Today, modern engineering allows for impressive weights.

Myth 3: "They're an unaffordable luxury"

The Spherik approach: Defying gravity

At Spherik, we don't design bikes to compensate for a lack of fitness. 
We create performance tools to defy gravity.

The science of materials

At Spherik, the choice of material depends first and foremost on your playground. We use Torayca HM carbon fibers (T-700 and T-800) for those seeking absolute lightness and maximum responsiveness on climbs. At the same time, our hydroformed aluminum frames offer exemplary robustness and durability, ideal for those who prioritize versatility and excellent performance-to-price ratio without compromising on enjoyment.

The Maxon AIR S motor

Spherik is proud to integrate the Swiss Maxon AIR S system into its performance models. This motor weighs only 1.9 kg. Its exceptional 85% efficiency ensures a natural pedaling sensation, with no mechanical resistance.

Our flagship models

Designed for Quebec terrain

Our bikes are tested for our conditions. In winter, our electric fatbikes (like the aluminum SEF6 or the carbon SFC) dominate the snow thanks to Terrene Cake Eater studded tires. Electric assistance then becomes your best ally for overcoming the resistance of soft snow.

Conclusion

The electric-assist bicycle is a freedom multiplier. It flattens hills, shortens distances, and multiplies the fun.
