Our Story
It all started in with a mission to bring premium electric bikes to North America at an affordable price.
In the very beginning, like any startup company, the journey from prototype to end product was a long and complex journey. Our founder managed a global supply chain stretching from Vancouver, Canada to Ningbo, China. Being hands-on from beginning to end of our first production process was an invaluable learning process.
On a sunny day in the spring of 2013, our team watched – and cheered – as VoltBike’s very first bike were pedaled out the door by happy customers. Since that day we’ve shipped thousands to VoltBike riders all over North America.
Huge Leaps Forward
Today, VoltBike is situated in a large, free-standing warehouse facility in Port Coquitlam, BC, while also operating a shipping depot out of Blaine, WA, USA. We ship non-stop, everyday all over USA and Canada.
Affordability AND Quality
We have invested a huge amount of the time and effort into our product line to ensure our customers receive the most reliable units at the lowest possible prices.
SAVE TIME, MONEY, THE PLANET AND HAVE FUN
Weave around town. Whizz off to work. Vroom to the beach. All our bikes are fun to ride and fully automatic, just pedal or twist and go.
To all of you, from all of us at VoltBike® - Thank you and Happy cruising!

Our Process
Headquarters in Vancouver BC, Canada
VoltBike's main distribution center is a brand new warehouse facility and is located in Port Coquitlam, BC, Canada. From this location, we serve entire Canada and ship bicycles and parts every day. Situated with 2x loading docks our warehouse is able to receive and ship at the same time more than a dozen bikes per day. This location is also open for test rides, repairs and service and also local pickups.
All bikes in stock
Unlike other companies on the market, at VoltBike we store all bikes in-house making sure the bike is available at the time of the order. This allow us to provide better customer experience and you wait less for your bike to arrive.
individually Tuned and Tested
Once a new order is placed, each bike is individually inspected and tested. Our bike mechanics are doing complete mechanical tune-up. Performance test is executed on each of the electrical components. Once the bike has passed the VoltBike inspection process, it is then assembled based on your specific modifications, including upgrades and added accessories.
