Who is this bike suitable for?
The 2017 Lapierre Overvolt AM 700 is built to be the do-it-all electric mountain bike. It's new lightweight carbon chassis, revised geometry and 140mm of trail eating travel make it suitable for All Mountain / Trail / Enduro and Gravity riding. Combined with the 2017 Overvolt DWS makes this a truly capable machine with most versatility over wheel sizes & rider preference on mixed terrain.
The ingenious frame design places the battery low down in the centre of the bike, thus using the weight to good effect: a well though-out and inspired solution - EuroBike Awards
New Features
For 2017 Lapierre have been working on a totally new and revised eBike frame, developed in house by 10 times world champion Nico Vouilloz to house a Bosch eBike 500Wh battery at the lowest possible point in the centre of the Overvolt frame.
Lapierre's GLP (Gravity Logic Project) centralises the mass in the eBike frame and allows for greater manoeuvrability and handling. Now on an even lighter full carbon chassis for 2017!
Awarded Gold Winner of the Eurobike Design awards and the 2017 Design & Innovation Awards.
But wait, that's not all Lapierre have been working on for the 2017 Carbon Overvolt All Mountain range, they have developed a new exclusive DWS (Dual Wheel System). This clever system allows the user to interchange between 27.5 and 27.5+ wheels!
By simply inverting the rear hanger & placing the new wheels in the electric bike, the rider can switch between wheel sizes with ease.
If you are stuck between 27.5" and 27.5"+ for 2017 then this is the electric mountain bike for you!
Up front we see the new RockShox Yari RC fully air adjustable 27.5+ fork is built on 150mm travel and 35mm stanchions for ultimate stiffness and strength on the 2017 AM 700 Carbon.
For 2017 Lapierre have opted for the brand new Sram Guide brakes, which replace the Avid X0 trail brakes we were previously used to. These twin piston beauty's offer superior amounts of stopping power, with minimal fade across long descents.
Now you can ascend faster than ever before and of course with the 4 pot brakes on larger rotors, bring your eBike to a stop just as fast when descending!
Overvolt - Are you ready to ride harder, faster & longer?
For 2017 Lapierre have developed an in house internal stealth dropper seat post built in so you can raise and lower the seat at the flick of a switch on the handlebars, whilst on the move. Adjustable for both uphill and downhill riding with minimal effort. The Overvolt takes it to a whole new level for 2017.
The Overvolt AM 700 2017 eBike comes equipped with the new Sram NX 11 speed drive train offers the same smooth and reliable shifting of it's bigger brother with the 12 tooth X-SYNC pulley wheels.
The X-HORIZON design reduces chain slap and the shifting force offering a smooth reliable setup.
You'll notice the new huge 11 speed cassette which offers an incredible 11 to 46t setup meaning this is the largest range ever possible on an electric mountain bike!
Finally Lapierre finish the Overvolt Carbon model with Nico's very own signature 760mm wise riser bars and CNC stem.
The Lapierre Overvolt AM 700 is the base point model in the new Carbon 2017 series. Although there's not a huge price difference from bottom to top. Prefer Shimano? The next model up (AM 800) offers 11 speed XT or alternatively check out the Overvolt AM 900+ with Plus sized wheels out the box and offerings of Srams new EX1 eBike specific 8 speed wide range drive train.
Bosch CX & Intuvia eBike System
The new Lapierre Overvolt AM 700 2017 eBike also features the latest Bosch Performance CX crank drive motor, so you can be sure it's fitted with the latest kit and setup for optimum performance.
The new 250w CX system outputs 75Nm of torque & peaks at 500w! It certainly packs a punch, it will also offer up to 300% assistance on turbo mode.
Featuring 4 levels of assistance & remember you can always turn the power off and ride it as a normal bike!
This machine rolls just the same as a normal cycle. In fact the quality in the design, geometry & build make it a true performer! The Lapierre AM 700 features the brand new Bosch 500Wh PowerPack Battery for 2017 so it hosts the most range possible on a Bosch powered electric mountain bike.

Have just bought the Lapierre 700 ebike after 30 years of conventional MTB and 10yrs+ of riding Lapierre Zesty's. Have had ebike about 1 week and have been out for around 2hrs most days around North Downs. It took a little time to get used to it and to stop playing with buttons and looking at the screen and just enjoy riding it.
The suspension is now well set up for me and gears are tuned to change smoothly. This took much more fiddling than with the more expensive sram 11 speeds on my standard bike. The brakes work very well with nice progressive feel and with no squealing (as yet), which is a regular complaint of the sram Guide. The Michelin wild gripr 2.35 tyres seem pretty good. I have replaced the tubes and filled with stans and am running at 20psi.
My conclusion after one week is that its a great piece of kit and a real pleasure to ride. Its very plush and balanced on the suspension, the extra weight helps downhill and due to electric assist does not impact the feel uphill. It powers effortlessly over rutted climbs very nicely. The only small moan is on the Lapirerre dropper post system. The actuation lever swivels around the handlebar and the mild steel tightening screw simply isn't man enough. Still 5 stars though!

Review left on 2016 model: I received my bike yesterday morning. And after just one days use, I can honestly say it is the best thing I have ever purchased! The pick-up on the Bosch cx is wicked. The set up is just perfect. Second to none. I don't think anyone could of done a better job.
So pleased with the purchase. I thank you greatly and apologise for not messaging yesterday, but I'm find it hard to get off the thing!
Again, can't thank you enough.

Review left on 2016 model: Just taken the bike out for the first time around my local trails . All I can say is wow, every thing I was hoping for and more. I was climbing hills I never even contemplated before. And doubled my average speed over my old bike.

Review left on 2016 model: The Lapierre FS 700 performed well and exceeded my expectations. It was felt light for an eBike and really flowy, the bike is well balanced and a little air time just came natural on the bike. What more could you want. This is a killer bike for the swag!
