EL Legs 5
Volton’s El Legs is one of the lightest full sized electric bicycles on the market. El Legs is giving new meaning to the “Hybrid Bike.”
Lightweight, double- butted, hydro-formed tubing is used to significantly reduce weight and add structure to the frame design. The result is an electric bicycle that is as light as it looks and is structurally stiff for a well-handling, responsive smooth ride. See our Features tab for more info on hydro-forming.
Product Description
Frame
6160 aluminum alloy is used exclusively on Volton Bicycles. A tough, durable, light alloy, 6160 aluminum alloy delivers fantastic, reliable performance that lasts for thousands of miles. It is, by far, the ultimate aluminum tubing on the market today.
Hydro-formed Frame Tubing
Hydro-forming is a method of shaping metals into lightweight, structurally stiff and strong components. The automotive industry is one of the largest applicators of hydro-forming, which makes use of the complex shapes possible by hydro-forming to produce stronger, lighter, and more rigid uni-body structures for vehicles. The hydro-forming manufacturing technique is frequently employed in the shaping of aluminum tubes for performance bicycle frames.
Low Center of Gravity
A comfortable ride and superior handling comes from proper weight placement. Strong, light wheels and a battery and controller mounted under the rider give you comfort and handling at cruising speed and around turns.
Hybrid Drive System
All Volton Bicycles come equipped with our easy to use throttle to dial in the power output of the motor. Use it while you pedal, or don’t pedal at all, the instant response of turning the throttle lets you control the speed.
Pedal Assist System
The standard selectable 3-speed or 5-speed system detects your pedal cadence and adds motor power up to your desired level of assist. There is no need to control a throttle, all electronics function at the push of a button. Riders can simply pedal, concentrate and enjoy the ride while sensing the motor performance.
Battery System
Volton Bicycles 36V and 48v batteries utilize advanced lithium-ion chemistry with on-board battery management system (BMS) for superior performance and charging. Together these lightweight, high capacity battery packs, BMS and chargers ensure a long lasting and reliable source of power.
Bright LED headlights and taillights
Light up your path and let others know you are there so you can safely ride at night.
