BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.
We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.
It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.
If you find a lower price, email us at [email protected] with documentation of the price. We’re committed to making sure that the cost of a bike does not keep you from cycling!
Facts

21 reasons to buy

- The Alpha S rocks a sturdy step-through frame for riders who are shorter, less-mobile or likely to ride in a dress, kimono, robe or cloak.
- With a concealed battery and double-downtube frame, the Alpha S is on fleek.
- The Alpha S has no chain, just a quiet, clean, low-maintenance Gates belt drive.
- ‘Slate’ and ‘Chalk White’ colors are understated yet chic.
- The Vvolt Alpha S is very competitively priced, with impressive features.
- At this price, hydraulic brakes (by Radius) are a boon.

- Vvolt furnish the Alpha S with a 3-year warranty against manufacturer’s defects.
- The Alpha S arrives 97% assembled!
- 2”- wide tires on 27.5” wheels are versatile and forgiving, on and off-road.

- Testers find the Alpha S’s stock saddle to be comfortable over long distances.
- Rechargeable front and rear lights are included.
- The Alpha S’s grips are ergonomic and therefore, comfortable.
2 reasons not to buy

- This is a single-speed e-bike. Fast riders may spin-out on flat roads while mountain-dwellers could find themselves at a loss for lower climbing gears.
Bottom line
The Alpha S dominates the Class 1, urban, step-through e-bike scene. With its strong and stylish double-downtube, concealed battery and non-squeaky yet clean Gates belt drive (taking over duties from the usual chain), this is an exceptional hub-driven bike at an exceptional price. For city riding, the 350W Xplova motor is plenty capable, whilst keeping 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 mountain-dwellers. The Vvolt Alpha is the step-over version of this bike. Testers are impressed by this well-thought-out, high-performance, lightweight, stylish and affordable e-bike.Expert Reviews
