Un petit bivouac improvisé… à deux pas de la maison ! Cyrusher Loop 2.0

Summary

The host takes advantage of a free weekend for an impromptu bivouac close to home. With the Ranger already equipped with a roof tent and camping gear, he says it’s easy to head out for a night or two without a long trip or elaborate planning. The family fits in his son’s Saturday basketball game before settling beside a river. The weather is grey but expected to improve. They make pizzas at camp, though the host’s turn in the oven leaves them a little burnt.

The next morning, he tests the Cyrusher Loop 2.0 by riding to a nearby village bakery for croissants and pastries while the rest of the family sleeps and the camp remains set up. He likes being able to explore or run errands without packing everything away. He sees that convenience as especially useful at a campsite, when visiting a town, or on a relaxed weekend—not so much at a remote bivouac, where he wouldn’t want to leave the vehicle unattended.

Bike unboxing and first impressions

• The bike arrives mostly assembled and well protected. Setup mainly involves fitting the remaining parts and doing a few checks.
• The host notes its folding frame, 20-inch wide tires, front suspension, seven-speed Shimano gearing, front and rear lights, rear turn signals, and a 250 W motor integrated into the rear wheel.
• He finds it comfortable, easy to use, and enjoyable as his first electric bike. Its assistance makes short rides feel effortless.
• Despite folding, it weighs about 28 kg, so lifting it into a car takes effort. He also finds that practical accessories, such as a bag or crate for carrying purchases, are important.

His verdict

The host doesn’t see the bike as a permanent part of his remote-bivouac setup, but thinks it could suit campsite stays, short holidays, city visits, shopping, or part-car, part-bike commutes.

At the time of filming, he says it was advertised for €800, versus a usual price of €900. The stated range is up to 72 km, though he cautions that real-world distance depends on factors such as terrain, assistance level, rider weight, and riding style. He gives a more moderate estimate of 25–45 km. Charging takes about 5–6 hours.
