Robustness & lightness
French aluminum frame
The aluminum frame, manufactured and welded in France, is a true hallmark of the Formidable. We leveraged all of our engineers' expertise to create this frame, whose tubes were specifically created for our first cargo bike. Premium down to the bolts, the 7000-grade aluminum withstands the onslaught of pounds, defies rain, and maintains a very reasonable weight. The Galian frame comes with a 10-year warranty.
Super-powerful engine
130nm motor
Do you live in a mountainous region? Or do you need to transport kilos of groceries? The Formidable's 48V motor with 130nm of torque can handle everything. No matter where you are and on any terrain, it will assist you like no other motor before thanks to its integrated automatic gearbox. Be careful not to fly away!
Electric assistance
Auto assistance & manual transmission
With this intuitive and readable monitor, you will have access to your bike's statistics and data, such as the mileage traveled, your speed, the assistance mode used, your autonomy and much more. Choose between 3 assistance modes and let yourself be carried away: Eco to consume a minimum of battery, Predict to switch to fully automatic mode, Turbo for those in a hurry. And a really practical little "extra": the "booster" trigger to help when starting off or when going uphill.
Autonomy
630Wh battery
With its 630Wh battery, you can be sure that the Formidable will always get you to your destination. As with all electric cargo bikes, the Formidable's battery life depends on the elevation of your journey and the weight on your cargotail. The Galian team has measured that the Formidable has a battery life of up to 80km. Of course, the battery is removable, so you can recharge it at home or at the office.

An organized bazaar
Featuring opening ABS doors designed and manufactured in France, the Galian cargotail's front box is shockproof and UV-resistant. Although compact, the Formidable's passenger compartment offers two seats with 5-point seatbelts for young children. As they grow, the older child will love sitting on the rear longtail, while the younger one will appreciate the exclusivity of the figurehead. Photos of the upcycled tarpaulin and canopy will be available soon.
Be seen
Long-distance vision lights
Even at night, you'll be seen coming from afar with your Formidable. Long-range headlight, increased visibility taillight... You shine in society, it's a fact!
For all roads
Steel fork
+ balloon tires
Durability was the key word when designing this bike. For added cushioning, we chose large-ball tires, which are more durable and more resistant than a suspension fork. No special maintenance is required. Let yourself be carried away by the magic of the Formidable.
Powerful and precise braking
Hydraulic brakes
disc
Because Galian takes safety seriously, we've got our 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes. Powerful and precise, the Formidable's brakes respond instantly: perfect for carefree cruising down Montmartre or Mont Ventoux, or for avoiding a pileup in an emergency, no matter the weight of your precious cargo.
Ergonomics and handling
90° steering angle
Unlike a steering bar, the Galian cargotail's dual steering cable provides incredible maneuverability, especially when it comes to parking: with a turning radius of over 90°, the Formidable can navigate the most winding paths and park in a shared bike shed without having to move everyone in your neighborhood's bikes... pretty practical, though.
