The Paro 006 with a weight of only 15 kg is the new generation of the Belfortain Electric Bike that offers the choice between two frames, a semi-open with comfort orientation, the other more dynamic high.
During our visit to the Vélo in Paris show in April 2025 we met Parco -Cycli. This brand born near Belfort has been developing electric bicycles since 2021, including the prototypes // 001 to // 003, led to a pre-series // 004 in 2022. The first standard electric bicycle, the Parco // 005 appeared in December 2022, with the first lens of local production:
- Aluminum pipes at Decacciai near Milan (Italy)
- Aluminum sleeves in Citele (15 km from Belfort)
- Painting in Cesca in Deey (Belfort)
- Collage an internal (Belfort)
- Mach1 and mounting leaks in Citele (Belfort)
We had rolled with this electric bicycle during the Paris event, but the French company had given a first overview of his future electric bicycle. That is why we are now about it, the Paro // 006, officially unveiled in June.
A double profile paro 006
The Parco 006 is the descendant of the 005, but with the most important distinction of a new version with a semi-open framework to facilitate the span. This novelty also promises on the steering wheel above “A more comfortable position”.
With regard to the high setting variant, it tries to retain the more active geometry of the 005, which we appreciated during a short handling. This 006 High focuses on the sizes from 170 to 195 cm, against 150 to 175 cm for the semi-open.
Couple sensor and featherweight
Electric help remains the rear M070 -backly motor with 40 Nm of torque, with a torque sensor. The small battery of capacity 140 Wh, which only weighs 1 kg, has an autonomy between 30 and 70 km, depending on the route.

Cyclus section, mechanical disc brakes go from clarks to Tektro, more efficient, depending on the brand. The Paro // 006 then makes an advanced configuration possible, with the choice of flat/curved pendant or sports/comfortad floor. The customer can also choose his transmission:
- Some speed With Sturmey Archer Freewel and the number of adjustable teeth,
- Shimano Derailleur tries 7 speeds
Despite the many developments, the weight of this new paro // 006 remains identical to the predecessor, about 15 kg! Not bad for an electric bicycle with the fenders and the lighting linked to the battery!
