Knowing where you're going and where your bike is.
Navigating and Training
The GPS counter mounted on the handlebar displays speed, distance, elevation, and, on mapping models like the Garmin Edge Explore, guides the cyclist on a route, with alerts at every intersection. It connects to cadence, speed, heart rate, and power sensors, and syncs rides with apps. The Sigma Rox, from the German brand, focuses on training and autonomy.

Bicycle electronics also come in various forms:
- Sensors and Radars.

All the electronics are gathered on the electronics page.
The Essentials, Simply
For those who just want to know their speed, distance, and ride time, the classic counter, like the Cateye Padrone, from the Japanese brand, offers a large, readable screen and several months of battery life. Without mapping or connection, it suits everyday trips and cyclists who don’t want to deal with a rechargeable device.
Against Theft
Expensive electric bikes are prime targets for thieves. The GPS tracker, like the Powunity Bike Trax, hides in the motor or frame and is powered by the bike's battery. It alerts the owner on their smartphone as soon as the bike moves and allows for real-time locating. Compatibility with the motor, Brose or Giant, and the necessary subscription should be checked.
Good Deals
Good deals can also be found in the good deals, promotions, clearance sales, sales, and Black Friday. The new arrivals showcase the latest collections, and items shipped in 24h are prepared and dispatched within 24 hours. The key shopping events of the year follow a stable order: the Black Friday in late autumn, the holiday season, the winter sales, the French Days in spring, followed by summer sales and back-to-school.
Frequently Asked Questions
Bicycle GPS or smartwatch, which to choose?
The GPS mounted on the handlebar offers a large, readable screen while riding and detailed navigation, like the Garmin Edge Explore. The watch is suitable for multisport, but its small screen is poor for use on the bike and is less comfortable for guidance.
Which counter to choose for simple use?
A counter without mapping, like the Cateye Padrone, displays the essentials: speed, distance, duration, and time. Easy to install and read thanks to its large screen, it suits daily trips and leisure rides.
Does a bicycle GPS work without a mobile network?
Yes, it connects directly to satellites and displays its maps from memory, even in the mountains without mobile coverage. The connection to the smartphone is only for syncing rides, receiving notifications, and transferring routes.
How to protect an electric bike against theft?
The Powunity Bike Trax tracker, discreetly installed on compatible electric bikes Brose or Giant, locates the bike via GPS and alerts on the smartphone if it moves. It complements a good lock without replacing it.
Is the Sigma Rox suitable for tracking performance?
Yes, it shows speed, cadence, heart rate, and power thanks to connected sensors, and records rides for later analysis on its app. Compact, it fits a cyclist tracking their data without needing detailed maps.
