So that you can ride your Electric Bicycle comfortably and safely in winter, BEEQ gives you the best tips and care.

 

Organize your E-Bike

Before you leave home to ride, organize your e-bike to face the low temperatures. 
 
In winter, you will most likely feel the need to take off some clothing during the ride, as your body heat increases. Therefore, having a bike bag is essential for organizing your e-bike.
 
You should also prepare your trip in advance by placing a water bottle or a thermos with a hot drink to keep yourself hydrated at all times.
 
Find the perfect bag for your BEEQ E-bike in our Online Shop.

 

Wear Comfortable Clothes

One of the biggest challenges of cycling in winter is the cold. Therefore, it is very important to invest in warm, comfortable and waterproof clothing.
 
Tip: Invest in layers that ensure you stay warm throughout the ride.
 
To protect yourself from the rain, we advise you to use a waterproof raincoat, which will not hinder your mobility or get in the way of your pedaling.
 
There are several sports brands on the market that offer excellent options.

 

Protection Acessories

Protective accessories are always important and take on special relevance in rainy weather. 
 
When you ride your bike in the rain, make sure you wear a quality helmet that provides full protection in case you fall on wet ground. Also try to equip your e-bike with a rear reflector. That way you will be able to travel more safely.
 
 
 
These are some of our tips so that you can ride your e-bike in winter with the greatest possible comfort.
 
E-Bike travel in the winter is easy and more comfortable than you might think.

Behind BEEQ - How our ebikes are made

Designed, created and produced in Portugal, BEEQ was born out of a need to jump start a movement of change. 

  

At a critical moment for mobility when the world is beginning to think of the bicycle as a safe and healthy alternative to move around in cities, BEEQ emerges as the solution for those looking to make the smart choice - European-produced ebikes, with a focus in quality and at a competitive price. 

 

Where it all started 

  

BEEQ is a brand of RTE, one of the leading bicycles manufacturers in Europe, based in Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal.  

 

Understanding and believing in the potential and the role of electric bicycles for the sustainability of our planet, the brand started as a small project within the company to explore the know-how and high-quality standards developed over its years in the industry. 

 

Joining the mobility revolution that is inspiring cities and communities takes time and a lot of hard work.  

 

The brand was "in vitro" for 3 years while we tried hard to launch with the best range possible.  

 

We perfected the models, the logo design, the strategy and message. Looking for the right partners who share the same DNA as our company, who care for the sensational experience an e-bike can offer as much as we do. 

 

Production processes where adjusted, and new technologies developed to have one of the most inovative ebike production lines out there. 

 

No detail was left to chance. 

 

From a small laboratory, to the big city 

 

The result of the BEEQ project is a set of reliable, urban, sophisticated, competent and fun e-bikes.  

 

Launched in July 2020, amid one of the craziest periods of recent history, the brand helped contribute to the unprecedented cycling boom we witness today. 

 

Gorgeous, high quality and well made e-bikes that can be purchased, safely, anywhere in Europe, in the comfort of your own home. 

 

No compromise attitude 

Since 1983 our company as developed a platform of quality and innovation in our facilities that result, today, in around 7.000 bicycles produced per day. 

 

That knowloge and standards are now being applied to make BEEQ a trustworthy, high quality staple in the electric bicycle market. 

 

Our brand is made up of a young spirited and ambitious team with scrappy product developers, designers and engineers, proudly making reliable and affordable electric bikes in Europe for the whole world to enjoy.
