Eovolt Research & Development
After securing a 16 million fund raise in 2023, Eovolt went searching for some of the most talented young engineers in France.
The brief was that they should have no experience in the cycling industry to ensure they would have a fresh approach and not be influenced by how it has always been done before.
In less than 12 months the engineering team launched the new Afternoon Pro model out from their offices at Eovolt HQ in Lyon.
The product launch at Eurobike 2024 saw critical acclaim and design awards.
Cycling Electric Magazine said
"The best fold we have ever tried, Bafang two-speed auto hub drive is excellent, small design touches add up to a great bike.

All in all, this is an electric folding bike that is a sorely tempting choice for my own stable and it is up there with my favourite electric bikes in the market at present. Highly recommended."
There are innovative brands like Eovolt who are designing their own bikes while pushing the research/development envelope and then there are brands that are assemblers who just import OEM parts from China and then assemble a bike in their premises.
The production costs of assemblers is far cheaper so those products are the cheaper brands in the market.

This is why its very important to understand that with Eovolt you are investing in a quality product that has been developed and built in their own factory in Lyon, France.
The 2024 Pro Range really highlights the design standard that Eovolt engineers achieve with the bikes featuring 6 design patents and no less than 39 design/spec improvements over the previous range.
Eovolt also have control of their supply chain with more of their parts being produced in France rather than leaning on far eastern production.
Its the little details like Eovolt hand polish the welds and paint their own frames, build their own wheels from rims made in France, have designed their own folding cockpit with an integrated phone mount and now own the design patent on the market leading Eovolt seat post battery.
They go that extra mile by partnering with high end brands like Shimano for brakes, Selle Royal for saddles and Knog for bells to maintain the high end feel and performance.
You also have the peace of mind with a market leading warranty and parts support from an established European brand.
All of this is why Eovolt is ranged in some of the most premium retail spaces in the UK including Halfords, The Electric Bike Shop, Wheelbase, JE James and many more.
