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!

    It has every detail that I would ever want or need on an urban e-bike. I ride a ‘83 Bianchi road racer, a Van Moof from Amsterdam, a Schwinn track, a Lectric XPeak, and an Xootr Swift folder; Alpha II gets more use each week. Extraordinarily complete design!

    Trick and Treat

    My Alpha II is my go-to-wheels for a cruise around My City by the Bay! It has all the gear to for comfort day or night. My Serius is for off-rode Adventure near 28mph. Tough choice between fraternal twins!

    Modern, simple and fun!

    I had not been on a bike in 45 years. I was intrigued by the electric bikes and did a fair amount of research.Most reviews focus on how fast can it go? Well, at 68, I don’t need fast as much as encouragement. The Alpha 2 caught my eye. Simple , clean lines, a single speed with a belt drive, and just the right amount of electric oomph, when I need it, to remind me why I loved riding bikes. The PAS levels are my gears. They have helped me conquer hills I couldn’t do with my old 10 speed. The V Volt, Alpha 2 is a winner in my book.

Components & Specs

Component specs for our fellow nerds:

Battery System (UL2271 Compliant)

Standard 375Wh removable battery provides 20 to 45 miles of range, or upgrade to long-range battery for up to 60 miles. Your mileage will vary depending on terrain, assist level, and other factors.

Gates Sidetrack Belt Drive

Carbon reinforced belts from Gates® last longer than chains, operate quietly, and don't require grease -- no more unintentional chainring tattoos!

Rear Hub Motor

Our rear hub motor gives you 350 watts (550w max) of power and 45 Nm of torque.

Controller Display

The D20 on-board display provides easy to read information, while the left-side remote allows you to change settings without taking your hands off the bars.

Frame

Vvolt custom aluminum stepthrough frame and fork fit with front and rear mounts for racks and fenders.

360° Lighting System

Integrated front and rear lighting system, plus reflective graphics deliver 360º visibility all year round.

Class 1 or Class 2 Enabled

Equipped with an easily removable throttle, Alpha II can be configured as Class I or 2 depending on whether or not the throttle is attached.

We programmed the throttle to provide "safe-speed" 80% power when applied. That's still 430 watts!

Weight

At 44lbs, you'll find Alpha is one of the lightest ebikes around.

Axles/ Dropouts

A two-piece adjustable rear dropout makes for easy rear wheel removal. The 15x110 front thru-axle provides secure and easy front wheel attachment.
