About MoonBikes:

The idea of MoonBikes grew in Nicolas Muron’s mind in 2015, when he was at his grandparents’ home in the small village of Saint-Nicolas-de-Véroce, in the French Alps. That winter, he makes a simple observation: in the summer, mobility solutions are infinite, while in winter, all there is are cars, snowmobiles (expensive and polluting) or one’s feet, to get around, explore or have fun. Nicolas, mountain and tech lover, decides he’ll find a solution.
