Sure, e-bikes cost more than their manually powered predecessors. But in reality, they present riders with an affordable way to get around town, especially if you live in a bustling city. The initial purchase will cost only a fraction of what you’d pay for a car, and from there, you’re going to face far, far fewer recurring costs.

So get ready for a better, more cost-effective commute. The Voya E+ was specifically designed for city commuters, and made to resemble a traditional bicycle. Its premium battery was developed in collaboration with Panasonic, and its lightweight build will have you rethinking everything you thought you knew about e-bikes.

What Makes the Voya E+ a Great E-Bike?

The Voya E+ is the brand’s lightest electric bike yet. Its slim, integrated battery powers a small 3.75 pound hub-drive motor to deliver steady power on the road. It’s been carefully designed to ensure its handling feels intuitive and comes with three support modes. Additionally, thanks to smart torque and cadence sensors, riding the Voya E+ feels just like riding a regular bike. The only difference is you can easily power up to 20 mph thanks to pedal assist.

Users can recharge the Voya E+ in less than three and a half hours — or hop on at an 80 percent charge in just two hours. At full charge, the bike boasts a 45-mile range. Plus, at just under 40 pounds, it’s light enough to ride without battery support if need be.

That said, most fans will want to tap into that premium e-bike battery right away. Designed with high-spec components (and in partnership with Panasonic), the EnergyPak 250wh lithium-ion battery has passed the UL2849 standard so you can count on it for a safer ride. It also comes backed by the brand’s two-year warranty, while the frame is covered by a lifetime warranty.

Best of all, the bike’s auto mode takes all the guesswork out of riding by calculating (and automatically delivering) a seamless support curve based on your pedaling speed and momentum.
