PLAYA DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT
A DECADE OF PLAYA DEVELOPMENT
Since introducing the Hopman Folding Electric Bike to the Playa in 2015, Joulvert has been at the forefront of Electric Bike design and development. Designing and introducing market-first technologies like the Silicon-Sealed Electrical System, Nylon + Steel Composite Motor Gears, and Integrated Rear -Racks that have since all become essential to the Playa riding experience.
A TRULY UNIQUE PARTNERSHIP
Our mission remains a total commitment to building premium electric bikes to tackle the most extreme conditions in the United States, while maintaining a relationship with our community of riders so they can keep riding for years to come. A brand you can trust, and communicate effectively with, is worth the world when it comes to Electric Bike ownership. Trust us, we know.
RENO POP-UP EVENT
LOGISTICS CAN BE A B*TCH. LEAVE IT TO US
We know that getting to the Playa can be a monumental task in itself, and that's without worrying about getting an Electric Bike across the US or World and into the Black Rock Desert. Our Annual Pop-Up Event at The Reno Convention Center from 20 to 26 August 2024 (earlier or later collection can be scheduled by contacting info@joulvert.com) provides a seamless collection experience en-route to the Playa. Your Playa Bikes, Batteries and Accessories will be professionally assembled by our technicians and waiting for a quick collection. Our team will provide a detailed tuition on how to operate the bike and some tips to keep it safe so you have no unexpected surprises when you hit the dust.
HUNDREDS OF $$$ SAVED
As you can imagine shipping Electric Bikes is not cheap, with most brands you will spend between $150 and $250 on shipping. When you buy a Joulvert Playa Bike, we cover the shipping cost, so you simply collect with no additional expense only hours from the festival. That's not all... given we value our community we offer a once a year Playa Discount so you get our most premium electric playa bikes at over $500 OFF retail pricing. The best bikes at the best prices, what more can you ask.
STRESSED ABOUT GETTING YOUR BIKE HOME?
We offer our Annual Storage Service for burners so you can simply drop your playa bikes to us after the festival, we then complete a detailed cleaning and maintain your battery with periodic charging cycles so you can simply arrive at our Pop-Up Event next year, grab your bike and go hit the Dust worry free.
