Posted on in Brands & Products News , Cycles News by Volt

London, May 7, 2024: John Lewis, the UK’s largest department store, will stock the UK’s leading e-bike brand, VOLT from today. The retailer will have four models from VOLT’s award-winning range of e-bikes on its online store, to get even more riders into the saddle.

The Pulse is VOLT's flagship model, a great all-rounder built to tackle any rider’s needs. The Pulse LS, a step-through version with a frame designed for female riders, will also be stocked by the retailer. The classically styled Kensington, available in baby blue or lavender, sets a new standard for blending high-tech gear with sophisticated style. The Metro is VOLT’s folding e-bike, designed by commuters for commuters. Finally, rounding off the selection, the Burlington’s ability to take riders up to 70 miles on a single charge, makes it the perfect machine for those seeking an e-bike that places comfort and ease at its heart.
