Convert or customise your bike in Saint-Pierre-d’Oléron
Keep the bike you love and add a motor, or start from scratch for a bike that’s truly yours. E-bike conversion Oléron, frame restoration, cargo bikes: at the workshop, every project is welcome.
Why convert rather than buy new?
You keep your bike
The one you know, in your size, with its settings and its story.
It’s cheaper
A well-chosen kit costs less than a new e-bike of the same quality.
It’s more sustainable
Less manufacturing, a frame that still rides, and every part stays repairable at the workshop.
The conversion kits we fit
Every use has its motor: leisure rides, daily commuting, loaded bikes or sportier terrain. We recommend the right kit once we’ve seen your bike.

- 1Bike diagnosis
Every bike can be converted, aluminium or steel frame alike. Before each conversion, we check the bike and plan the mechanical servicing it needs (brakes, drivetrain, wheels): it’s essential for your safety. €25, deducted if we do the work.
- 2Kit choice and quote
We choose the kit together based on how you ride, your budget and the range you need. Kit, battery, parts and labour: everything is priced before we start.
- 3Fitting at the workshop
The kit is fitted at the workshop in Saint-Pierre-d’Oléron, and you ride away on your converted bike.
An e-bike that follows the rules
To count as an electrically assisted bike in France, and ride without a licence or registration, assistance must cut out at 25 km/h, nominal power must not exceed 250 W, and the motor must only help while you pedal. Our conversions are set up within these rules.
Custom bikes and customisation
A touring bike, a gravel bike, a city bike or an old frame that deserves a second life: we build the bike that fits your project, electric or not.
Custom builds
We choose the frame, drivetrain, wheels and gear together, then build your bike part by part.
Frame restoration
An old steel frame sleeping in the garage? We restore and modernise it so it can hit the road again.
Le Petit Porteur cargo bikes
Mini-cargo or longtail for shopping, kids or deliveries, with or without electric assistance.
