Volt London Review

London’s streets just met their match.

Built specifically for urban warriors, the Volt London combines the precision of a crank drive with the boost of a rear hub motor. It’s like having two engines in one sleek package that actually makes sense.

This isn’t just another ebike with a motor slapped on – Volt has genuinely reimagined how electric assistance should work in the real world. The dual motor system means you get the natural pedal feel of a mid-drive motor combined with the instant power delivery of a hub motor. It’s engineering that serves the rider, not the spec sheet.

The London was literally designed with input from actual London commuters, which shows in every detail. From the detachable front rack that handles everything from pizza boxes to laptops, to the puncture-resistant Schwalbe tires that laugh at broken glass, this bike gets it. The Gates carbon belt drive means you’ll never show up to work with chain grease on your clothes, while the hydraulic disc brakes give you stopping power that matches the city’s pace.

Volt didn’t just throw together components – they curated them. The Fabric grips and saddle provide genuine comfort on longer rides, while the Acros pedals give you proper platform feel. Even the tan wall tires aren’t just for looks – they signal that this bike has style to match its substance. At 22.1kg, it’s not the lightest ebike around, but that weight comes with purpose, not compromise.
