Bottom line
The Alpha S is a strong contender in the urban step-through e-bike category. With its strong and stylish double-downtube, concealed battery, and Gates belt drive, this is an solid hub-driven bike at an impressive price. For city riding, the 350W Xplova motor is plenty capable and helps keep the Alpha S’s weight down to between 44lb (S/M) and 46lb (L/XL). It’s a single-speed with five levels of assist, so this may not be the right choice for those living in hilly areas. The Vvolt Alpha is the step-over version of this bike. Overall, testers are impressed by the performance, low weight, style, and price of the Alpha S.Expert Reviews
