Cycling Electric Reviews VOLT London eBike

We are thrilled to share that our award-winning VOLT London electric bike has received a glowing 2025 review from Cycling Electric, a leading authority in the e-bike industry.

Cyclingelectric.com, established in 2019, has been at the forefront of providing comprehensive advice, tips, and reviews on e-bikes, catering to the growing interest in sustainable (and fun!) transportation.

The Review (4.8/5)

In their recent review, Cycling Electric awarded the VOLT London an impressive rating of 4.8 out of 5, highlighting its exceptional performance and value. Reviewer Mark Sutton noted that the urban electric bike “stacks up very well against well-priced competition,” emphasising its competitiveness in the market and exceptional performance against popular ebikes costing up to a £1000  more!

The review praised several aspects of the VOLT London:

  • Weight and Handling: Despite being fully equipped, the bike’s weight was manageable, making it easy to carry upstairs at train stations.
  • Battery Capacity: The 504Wh battery was deemed competitive, offering a substantial range for urban commuting.
  • Build Quality: The frame finish was described as delightful, reflecting the high-quality craftsmanship of the bike.

Cycling Electric also highlighted the bike’s generous accessory range, including quality components from reputable partners like SKS and Fabric. They appreciated that no corners were cut in selecting these accessories, enhancing the overall riding experience.

At VOLT, we take pride in designing and hand-building our bikes in the UK, ensuring local support and quality assurance. The VOLT London is equipped with a Spintech/Bafang rear hub motor, a 504Wh internal, removable battery offering up to 60 miles of range, and Tektro hydraulic disc brakes for reliable stopping power. The inclusion of a Gates CDX belt drive ensures a smooth and low-maintenance ride, ideal for urban environments.

We are honoured by Cycling Electric’s recognition and remain committed to providing top-quality e-bikes that meet the needs of modern urban cyclists. The London stands as a testament to our dedication to innovation, quality, and rider satisfaction. For those seeking a reliable, stylish, and high-performance e-bike for city commuting, it is undoubtedly a top contender for 2025 and beyond. Discover for yourself and book a test ride today.
