Here's how Le Formidable, a 4-seater electric cargo bike, changed his daily life

Priscille, a mother of four and dynamic entrepreneur from Rennes, discovered a new source of freedom and efficiency in her daily life thanks to the Formidable by Galian. Before opting for a longtail cargo bike, she used a traditional bicycle. But commuting with her four children aged 2 to 8, especially in her hilly neighborhood, was a constant challenge. "It wasn't easy, and above all, very sporty!" she recalls...

Cargo AND longtail bike : ideal versatility for personal and professional travel

Discovering the Formidable was a turning point. This high-end electric cargo bike offered Priscille a solution for transporting her four children at the same time, a previously impossible task. She says: "When I discovered the Formidable, I realized it was the only bike that could carry my four children , their school bags, and my bag. On my first rides, I immediately appreciated its maneuverability, and the children loved it. Since then, my daily life has been much more peaceful."

“Le Formidable helps me on a daily basis and allows me to better manage my life as a mumpreneur.”

The Formidable has proven to be a valuable tool not only for her responsibilities as a mother, but also in her professional life. As the founder of the startup Eclo, Priscille regularly uses the Formidable for her business trips: "During the day, the Formidable becomes a real work tool for my startup. It allows me to travel to the office but also to transport packages and goods to partners and shops in town. I even take my colleagues to the train station when time is of the essence!"

However, getting to grips with the Formidable wasn't immediate. Priscille admits to having some initial difficulties, particularly due to the bike's weight once loaded. "Getting to grips with the Formidable isn't immediate. It's heavy and doesn't ride like a bike, especially when you're loaded." But, as with any first-time cargo bike experience, she quickly adapted: "After two weeks, I was able to let go of one hand."

The ideal solution for transporting 4 children safely

Safety is crucial for Priscille, especially when it comes to transporting her children. "I feel very safe on the Formidable. I feel like the engine power is adapted to the load on the bike. I don't have to exert much effort even on hills with a loaded bike," she says. This safety is enhanced by the five-point seat belts for children, the guardrail on the longtail, and the secure toe clips.  

The Formidable also opened up new possibilities for Priscille and her family: "One activity, an outing that I was able to do for the first time thanks to the Formidable, was going to the Lices market in Rennes with my family in the morning and coming back with the 4 children and some fruit and vegetables in the box at the front," she shares enthusiastically.

Finally, Priscille shares some points that particularly appealed to her: "There are two things I really like about the Formidable. First, the boost mode, which helps me especially when starting off to quickly find my balance. And the second thing is the doors. They are both practical and fun." These aspects of the Formidable not only make it easier to use but also add a touch of fun and efficiency to your journeys.

Priscille's story with Galian's Formidable is a perfect example of how technology and innovation can transform everyday life, offering a practical and sustainable solution for urban mobility.
