Change Is Coming - Introducing Turn-Key Units to Volta

We’re evolving.
Coming soon, Volta Motorcycles is expanding our lineup to include ready-to-ride stock units—carefully built electric motorcycles that are fully assembled, tested, and available for immediate purchase.

This addition gives riders more flexibility:

Need something fast? Grab a stock unit.
Want something custom? We’re still building one-of-a-kind conversions, just for you.

Each stock unit is built with the same commitment to sustainability, using recycled metals and high-performance electric drivetrains. Whether you're a first-time rider or a seasoned commuter, you’ll have quicker access to affordable, eco-conscious transportation without compromising on style or power.

More choice. Less wait. Same Volta mission.
