Vvolt Alpha
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!

Bottom line
The Vvolt Alpha is a Class 1 urban e-bike. The concealed battery and quiet, clean Gates belt drive underpin an exceptional hub-drive bike at an exceptional price. For city riding, the 350W Xplova motor is plenty capable, whilst keeping weight down to an impressive 44 to 46lb. However, the single-speed drivetrain and five motor-assist levels may not suit riders in hilly areas. The Vvolt Alpha S is the step-through version of this bike. Testers are impressed by this stylish, high-performance, lightweight e-bike, especially at this affordable price.Expert Reviews
