Our story

Built for riders who refuse to compromise.

Voltnova began with a simple belief: an electric bike should be as capable crossing town at rush hour as it is exploring mountain switchbacks. Instead of launching a catalog, we concentrate on one platform—the Voltnova One—and pour our resources into the details that make every ride unforgettable.

Where we started

In 2019 our founders were splitting their lives between city studios and alpine trails. The bikes they could buy forced a choice: light and nimble but short on range, or powerful and heavy enough to forget the third-floor walk-up. We decided to stop choosing.

Months of late-night prototyping followed—hydroformed tubing, belt drives, custom controllers. The breakthrough came when we integrated battery, electronics, and frame into a unified spine. Suddenly the bike carried its own strength without excess weight.

Milestones

A look at the breakthroughs that shaped the Voltnova One.

  1. 2019First sketches

    Two industrial designers frustrated with urban traffic begin prototyping ultra-light frame geometries.

  2. 2021Adaptive power breakthrough

    Voltnova’s engineering lab perfects the terrain-aware hub motor that senses torque, cadence, and gradient in real time.

  3. 2023Integrated energy spine

    Battery and frame finally merge into a single load-bearing spine, eliminating bulky packs and freeing up storage.

  4. 2024Ride labs open

    The Voltnova One prototype goes public in micro ride labs across Europe and North America.

What we stand for

Singular focus

One bike, obsessively refined. We iterate every fastener and firmware release around a single flagship product.

Human-centered engineering

Our designers commute, climb, and haul with the same bike you will. If a feature doesn’t contribute to joy or utility, it doesn’t ship.

Sustainable range

We source responsibly, build for longevity, and design components that can be refurbished instead of discarded.
