Part café, part bike shop, part rental HQ, Allo Vélo is the kind of place that makes cycling feel like a lifestyle, not just a means of getting from point A to B. Based in Griffintown, it’s the only spot in the city where you can rent an electric cargo bike built for hauling kids—or groceries, or plants, or whatever your weekend demands. The fleet leans European (Triobike, Urban Arrow, Pelago, etc.), with clean lines, upright posture, and just the right amount of smugness. Families, commuters, tourists, and gearheads all overlap here—shopping panniers or sipping cold brew while the mechanic works in back. The retail side stocks thoughtfully chosen accessories and bikes that make riding year-round in Montreal actually doable. Whether you’re renting for a day or investing for the long haul, Allo Vélo keeps things stylish, practical, and just serious enough to earn your trust.
