Our Story - Volta Motorcycles
The Volta Way
At Volta, we believe the future of two-wheeled transportation is electric — but it shouldn’t be out of reach. We build electric motorcycles, e-bikes, & mopeds that are powerful, efficient, and affordable. Designed by riders, for riders, Volta is here to change how people move — whether it's your daily commute, weekend trail ride, or first step into electric freedom.
Our approach is simple:
- Strip away overpriced complexity
- Keep the riding experience raw and real
- Give you more value, more performance, and more freedom for less
We partner with trusted global powertrain manufacturers, then customize, test, and support each vehicle here. We’re builders, riders, and believers in what’s next. Volta is about ownership without compromise, and a community that rides forward, together.

Our Story - Volta Motorcycles
Meet The Founder - Wesley Ross | CEO
My name is Wesley Ross, and I'm the proud founder of Volta Motorcycles. I'm an electrical engineer, entrepreneur, and gearhead. I was born and raised in Georgia, where I started my first business selling snacks, beverages, and bracelets to my classmates in middle school.
I've run e-commerce stores, a shoe reselling shop, and offered lawn care services throughout my neighborhood by employing my friends and peers. After moving to Minnesota in 2017, I continued this legacy of entrepreneurship by starting NorthStar Dynamics, a government contracting firm, in my sophomore year of high school, which helped supply PPE across the US to assist in COVID-19 relief efforts.
Volta Motorcycles was founded to address a common challenge faced by riders seeking to transition to electric vehicles. You see, there are many electric motorcycle brands, but very few focus on what's important—speed, efficiency, and range at a price that doesn't break the bank. As I spent time scrolling through websites trying to find an e-motorcycle that fit my needs, I realized I was better off building my own and solving this need for others looking to try electric.
Why pay $20,000+ for a motorcycle with the same performance as an ICE motorcycle for $5k? To me, this was a barrier of entry that was too steep. As a lover of all things speed, I've made it my mission to provide riders with an affordable solution to the electric riding barrier.
