The Alpha II offers a low-maintenance belt drive, strong hydraulic disc brakes, and a detachable integrated battery for effortless riding and recharging. It also provides five levels of responsive pedal assistance. This newly designed bike is equipped with dependable Shimano hydraulic brakes, a Gates Carbon Drive™ System that requires no oil, and a comfortable upright fit that is suitable for quick trips around town as well as longer rides.

Weighing in at a mere 44 lbs, the Alpha II stands out as one of the lightest e-bikes available thanks to Vvolt’s careful selection of top-of-the-line components and the innovative design created by their team. The new model boasts an integrated battery that meets UL2771 certification standards and provides 375Wh of power, delivering a range of 15 to 40 miles depending on various factors such as terrain and assist level.

“We’re excited about all of our ebikes, but the Alpha II is extra special as it represents the culmination of huge amounts of work from the Vvolt team and is a great representation of our vision for e-mobility: lightweight and low maintenance, super fun to ride and an all around pleasure for both commuting and rides for the sake of rides, and extremely versatile,” said Kyle Ranson, CEO and Founder of Vvolt. “Alpha II offers amazing value, with premium components and a build that will last for years. It’s designed to get more people out on bikes for fun, commuting and errands.”
