I recently purchased the Metro through the Cycle to Work scheme, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience and the product itself.

From the start, the process was smooth and straightforward. Volt’s support team was very helpful in coordinating everything through the scheme. The Metro itself is solidly built, stylish, and surprisingly powerful for a compact folding model.

On the road, it performs exceptionally well. The pedal assist is smooth and intuitive, making hills and longer commutes much more manageable. The folding mechanism is easy to use and feels sturdy, making it ideal for storing at home or at the office. It strikes the perfect balance between portability and performance.

Battery life has also exceeded my expectations. A full charge lasts well through my weekly commutes, and the charge time is reasonable. It feels like Volt has really thought about the needs of city riders.

Overall, I’m genuinely impressed with the bike's quality and the convenience of purchasing it through the Cycle to Work scheme. The Volt team are brilliant - cheers, Kevin!

The Metro has completely transformed my commute, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and fun way to get around London.

Exactly what I was looking for. The mid motor belt drive is so quiet and smooth. Great fun and great value.

We booked a Volt Bike trial at Kinross . Met with Mark Sinclair of Sinclair Cycles , located in part of the old steading at Loch Leven Larder . Mark talked us through the bike and set us off on a ride round his bike track . Twice round we stopped 100 metres short of the bike shop and I asked my wife what she thought? She said she loved it . We went back to the shop , bought the Regent . Picked it up 2 days later , my wife still loves the bike and so do I . Take a demo and see what you think 🤔. Worked for us . Great bike and not as complicated as some we have tried out . So Very Happy 😃

Volt Metro LS - collected 05/04/25
Delivery took quite a long time. Despatched 25/03, delivered to local bike shop 05/04 - courier kept trying to deliver when the shop was shut!
The bike is very nice to ride, but the battery on/off switch has worked only intermittently from day 1.

Update 14/04 - I took the battery to Adam at local agents 4PlayCycles in Cockermouth this morning.
His magic fingers seemed to make the battery turn on and off every time!
The required method is one short press for on, sustained firm pressure for about 4 seconds for off.
It seems I wasn't pressing firmly enough!
Update 14/08. Range - the claimed 50 miles seems reasonable. Just done 50 moderately hilly miles (2500ft of ascent) on LOW setting. 1 light still showing on battery, but 2 bars still showing on handlebar display.

The bike is brilliant. I experienced quite a few delays in getting it delivered which was frustrating.

volt connect, what a great bike. delivered to local bike shop and took through all aspects of bike. nifty little allen key set, but missing the size for adjusting the saddle. this may be because it requires a certain torque. to have 2 types of lock is great and gives extra piece of mind when out and about. range of the volt connect is great. friends have seen the bike and are looking at the range of volt electric bikes. definitely a company i would recommend.

Bought a volt metro in late 2024 from my local dealer after looking at quite a few other makes. Very impressed as soon as i saw it. All branded components. Beautiful paintwork. British designed and British made and built and great price. Wanted it mainly for UK holidays hence choosing a folder. I have a high end emtb but i'm finding that i'm now riding the volt recreationally more than my emtb as it's such a comfortable and easy bike to ride. It tackles gravel tracks with ease. I've ridden upto 50 miles on the transpennine trail on the low power setting with still 1 bar left on the battery and i'm 13 stone.
I've now had to purchase a volt LS for my wife as i let her ride mine and she said it was a much better and smoother ride than her own bike.
Volt are easy to contact and the customer service is brilliant. I had a small delay on delivery of the LS and when i chased it up they were on it immediately and even sent me a bag of accessories free with the bike by way of an apology.
Buy british i say!

easy to contact and polite,very nice bike,I think a higher top gear would be nice. good to be on two wheels again.

The bike is well made and does everything I want it to do. Happy so far.

Really like my Volt LITE! Very easy to fold, powerful and really nice feeling of ride in general! It takes a bit of time to get used to how you need to roll it once it’s folded eg to move it in my building, but overall pretty satisfying!

The staff at Volt London HQ were also really nice and helpful when I came for the test ride.

I will say, maybe give a bit more detail on delivery timings? You receive an email saying it’s been dispatched and it’ll take a few working days, but i’d have appreciated the possibility to track the parcel.

Overall, great ride and customer service!

Kept to the timetables advertised. Helpful with arranging delivery of the bike to a local shop. Friendly service

Very easy to order and local dealer very helpful. Love my new bike, thanks.

Excellent quality product, and prompt and helpful attention.

Efficient processing of our purchase. British made electric bike. The bike looks good, rides well ,solid and much attention has been paid to detail.

I ordered a Metro folding Ebike & it arrived to my local cycle shop on the Isle of wight with the wrong pedals , one phone call later and the issue was resolved within ten minutes , very impressed & a special thanks to Elliot from Volt , excellent customer service & agreat bike ! I did a lot of research before settling on Volt & I have no regrets .

Bike delivery was quick,direct to home address and not a local dealer as I expected 15-20 miles away.
Haven't really used the bike much (1 mile) but seems ok. have hired this model previously and loved it.
Not so keen on the website. Hard to find things, easier to come out and Google what you're looking for and go from there.

The Burlington bike is exactly what I needed and rides very well. The delivery was very quick and the use of a local agent made the purchase a very rewarding experience with their thorough demonstration of the bike and accessories.

Having spent many weeks researching and reviewing the many e-bikes available, I eventually decided on purchasing the Volt Pulse.
Being 65yrs of age and since it’s well over 30yrs since I was last on a bike, it was important that I took the time to research in order that I could have a bike that was most suitable.
I could not be more delighted with my new bike. Easy to control using the 4 power modes alongside the 8 gears. I mostly switch off power when riding flats, however the 4 power modes are more than adequate for any riding situation. In the past few months since purchasing my bike I’ve managed to cycle just over 500 miles, and I am due to visit the Outer Hebrides in March for a week long cycling holiday.
I purchased a bike rack from Halfords that fits perfectly on the back of my Ford Focus and performs perfectly. weight limit 25kg. Make sure you remove the battery before mounting on the rack, that way the bike should weigh in around the 23kg mark.
One small thing to consider, the bike is quite heavy to lift on to a rear mounted bike rack.To make it easier, I purchased a small lightweight adjustable caravan type step from eBay for around £12. Makes a great difference and as it is foldable it is easily stored in your car/van.
Hope this review is helpful.

excellent design, excellent build and just outstanding support- they gave me a 100 quid panier box thing which is genius design in itself. if you're buying an electric bike buy british, buy Volt.

I am very pleased with my Volt Metro LS. The bike arrived two days before Christmas and I have now enjoyed riding for 38 miles, despite the weather. I wanted a bike that could be serviced by a local dealer, and Andy and Rob at Exmouth cycles are friendly and helpful. I also liked that Volt bikes are made in Britain. The Metro LS was my choice as it could be folded to take in the car and compact enough when not folded to keep in a small summerhouse. The rack on the LS version was more suitable to attach the pannier bag I use regularly for swimming, and the bike seat went lower so my wife could also ride it. I am appreciating the seat post and front fork suspension, built in lights, disc brakes, integrated security lock, and bigger battery; an improvement over my previous electric bike.
