 The Pure Cycles Volta is one of the lightest and most agile e-bikes on the market, yet it doesn't really scream e-bike. The alloy frame, complete with internal battery, front basket, and front and rear lights weighs in at only 37 pounds. While it looks like a small bike, it'll comfortably fit anyone between 5 feet and 6.4. Another unique thing about this bike is that the powertrain and the bike itself were designed and built in conjunction with each other. So the resulting compact wheel size, 250W pedal assist, rear hub motor, and 36V 5.8A lithium ion battery hidden in the frame allows for a fast acceleration and a really smooth ride. The Pure Cycles Volta 8 speed switches that out for an 8 speed chain drive and trigger shifter. Another benefit of this bike is that it's defined as a class 1 e-bike, which means that it falls within the legalities of a non-powered bicycle. The motor in conjunction with the torque sensor, mounted in the bottom bracket, will pedal assist up to 20 miles per hour. A powerful front disc brake with rear caliper and a power regeneration brake in the rear hub motor will slow your roll in all weather conditions. To ensure safety, the brakes automatically cut off motor assist when triggered. The integrated battery has a 2 hour charge time and a range of up to 40 miles. With regenerative braking, the motor is able to add charge to the battery when applying the brakes, helping to extend range. Integrated and automatic lights help keep you safe in the dark with the rear light brightening when you brake in all ambient light conditions. The e-bikes controller keeps the bike's electrical system working in harmony together and has an integrated touch sensitive LED display, giving easy to read battery levels and speed readout and provides an interface to change between four possible pedal assist power modes. Another really cool thing is this controller can be updated as the Pure Cycle's tech wizards come up with updates that improve the ride. Each bike has a wireless fob that activates and powers down the bike automatically with the Bluetooth sensor. In fact, the Volta's wireless connectivity allows you to activate the bike and change the power modes via the Pure Cycle's phone app, also equipped with an activity tracker and an anti-theft GPS tracker. In other words, if the bike moves and you're not on it, you'll know about it.
