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!
- LMLarry M.Verified BuyerRated 4 out of 5 stars3 weeks agoTrick 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!
- MPMark P.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars3 weeks agoModern, 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.
