Find your perfect fit
We recommend you compare your inseam measurement, taken wearing shoes you are likely to ride in, to the stand-over height of our various models. As long as you've got around 1" of clearance over the top tube you'll likely be good to go! If you're on the cusp between sizes we generally recommend sizing up!
- KJKevin J.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars3 weeks agoGreat bike
Super light. Really smooth. Looks cool. Love it.
- JZJohn Z.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars3 weeks agoNew ride
Good ride. Not a fancy off roader but a good comfy road bike. Only one complaint. I replaced the seat post with a shock absorber type of seat post. I assumed the spec sheet was correct and ordered a 27.2 seat post. The seat post is 30.9. Had to reorder a 30.9 which fit perfectly. Had to reroute the rear light wiring ... that's on me.
Thanks Vvolt
- ARAlexander R.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars3 weeks agoSuper smooth
I ran their first bike into the ground, so this is my second Vvolt bike. I'm impressed with how smooth it runs, and I love the integrated light. The controls are intuitive and simple, the throttle helps, and thank god I don't have to deal with the chain grease ruining my workpants. Pretty much everything I want in my daily cruiser.
- CSConrad S.Verified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 month agoAmazing
I purchased this bike for my daughter and she absolutely loves it. I'm thinking about cycling to work in the future, and this bike is high on my list for a commuter now that I've seen it in action.
- MMMichelle M.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 month agoPerfect!
It's perfect!
Lightweight and fast! The battery lasts a long time. My whole family loved it👍🏻
