French bike manufacturer, Peugeot Cycles, has announced plans to expand its e-bike range with three new models by the beginning of next year.

With over 140 years of operation, Peugeot Cycles is a well-established brand in the cycling world and no stranger to e-bikes. We reviewed the Peugeot AE21 e-bike back in 2016, and since then, the demand for e-bikes has skyrocketed.

The new e-bikes are designed and manufactured by BeWeel, a start-up “with roots inside [Peugeot parent company] Stellantis”. Peugeot says they are a response to growing momentum in the e-bike market. In its press release, it highlighted that every
fourth bike sold in Europe last year was electric and in total, over 5.5m electric-assisted bikes were sold.

The new Peugeot e-bikes complement the brand's existing lineup of regular and electric junior, trekking, city, and mountain bikes, but now come with enhanced connectivity features. Through a smartphone app, users can access features such as electric
assistance adjustments, an anti-theft system, an alarm, bike location tracking, route navigation, statistics, and weather forecasts.

The app serves as the primary interface for the three different models, catering to cyclists from different "worlds", including urban commuters, businesses, and families.. While specific component details of the new bikes are yet to be released, we can
already take a look at the bike designs.
