In keeping with the design philosophy at Volt, the Metro is a handsomely designed e-bike with top-drawer componentry. As a folding e-bike it’s bulkier than the Brompton Electric and with less compact folded dimensions but it makes up for it with ride quality. With its SR Suntour suspension forks and Zoom seat post suspension you’d struggle to find a folding bike that is more comfortable to ride and its 250W SpinTech motor provides plenty of power, acceleration and range. It is designed to be used as part of a multi-modal commute but be aware that it is considerably heavier than a Brompton Electric and carrying it up and down stairs at stations is not for the faint of heart. However, the folding mechanism works simply and effectively, and the bike would be perfect for someone with limited storage space looking for a space-saving design.
