The Volt Connect Electric Bike: A Versatile Hybrid for All-Terrain Riding

The Volt Connect Electric Bike is a highly versatile hybrid designed for riders who want to tackle a variety of terrain, from smooth tarmac to rough, gravelled tracks.

It features a 36V 504Wh Panasonic battery, which provides an impressive range of up to 80 miles on a single charge.

The bike boasts Schwalbe Big Ben tyres and Alexrim DP21 wheels for a smooth and reliable ride.

Riders can switch between different assistance modes via a handlebar-mounted LCD screen, including Eco, Touring, Sport, Sport Plus, and Boost.

The bike's five assistance modes provide a unique level of electrical assistance, allowing riders to tailor their experience.

I tested the bike on a local route featuring steep inclines, smooth roads, gravelled tracks, and scenic views, and was impressed with its performance.

Charging the battery from empty to full took 2.5 hours, and the screen showed 82km (51 miles) afterwards.

The bike's Suntour NX1 steel spring suspension with lockout provided a smooth ride, even on rough terrain.

The bike's range is impressive, with up to 80 miles claimed on a single charge, and can be monitored via the LCD screen.

The Volt Connect Electric Bike is priced from £2,299 ($3,062), making it an affordable option for riders seeking a high-quality hybrid bike.
