Cyclik, a French company specializing in bamboo bikes, has introduced a new electric, connected, and customizable model. The firm is now releasing Relief, an electric and connected bike. The Relief will soon be available beginning at €3,500 (roughly $4,140). In recent years, Cyclik's bamboo-framed bikes have stood out from the pack.  It, too, is framed in bamboo and may be customized in terms of colour and etching (initials, motif, etc.). Bamboo is a natural material that is extremely durable and may be a valuable asset to bikers. It can absorb five times more vibrations than metal, providing significant driving comfort. This bamboo e-bike has puncture-resistant and fluorescent tyres, as well as hydraulic braking discs.

The Relief e-bike is equipped with a tracker that tracks its whereabouts in real-time and can be seen remotely. In the event of theft (at the smallest movement of the bike), an alert is promptly sent to the owner's smartphone to notify them. A companion app assists riders with navigation by identifying routes and directing bicycles during their travels, even when they are not connected to the internet.

The software also estimates battery life and gives various relevant meteorological data, such as wind speed, humidity level, and the prediction for the next several hours.

The Cyclik Relief e-bike, made in France, weighs just 16.5 kg and has a range of around 70 kilometres, which can be increased to 120 kilometres with the installation of a second battery. The bike is projected to start at around €3,500 (roughly $4,140). It joins a growing lineup of high-end electric bikes from French manufacturers such as Angell and Moustache.
