Who is this bike suitable for?
The new 2018 Lapierre Overvolt Carbon AM 800+ is the mid spec model in the carbon range offering 150mm of trail travel. Perfect for All Mountain, Trail & Enduro riding. Combined with the 2018 Overvolt DWS makes this a truly capable machine with most versatility over wheel sizes & rider preference on mixed terrain. Swap in and swap out 27.5 & 27.5+.
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
Lapierre brings 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 & handling. Built on a full carbon chassis for 2018!
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 2018, the Carbon Overvolt All Mountain range offers an 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 2018 then this is the electric mountain bike for you!
Up front on the AM 800+ we see the RockShox Pike RC fully air adjustable 27.5+ fork is built on 150mm travel and 35mm stanchions for ultimate stiffness and trail control.
The stoppers are upgraded to the Sram Guide RE eBike specific brakes for 2018. These twin piston beauty's offer 15% more power than the standard Guide disc brake.
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!
2018 Overvolt - Are you ready to ride harder, faster & longer?
Fully equipped with Lapierre's own 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. Thus adjustable for both uphill and downhill riding with minimal effort.
Now on new 27+ wheels for 2018. What's PLUS all about? This revelation hitting the cycling industry by storm offer a wider 2.8" broader tyre for ultimate traction, comfort & grip. Without compromising on rolling resistance.
The 2018 Carbon AM 800+ is equipped with a 11 speed Shimano XT drive train offering a 11-46t range.
Making for plenty of gears for any incline or descent. All Shimano shadow mech's have a special clutch system.
This keeps the chain under tension and reduce chain drop, whilst increasing shifting agility. You can switch the clutch off easily, making wheel removal a doddle.
This makes for a very versatile gear set, you can be sure to be able to climb anything as well as get an extra pedal in on the descents.
The new Lapierre Overvolt AM 800+ is the mid spec model in the range, very similar setup to the AM 900+ but with a full Shimano drive train. Don't forget this frame is also setup to take 160mm travel should you require it. Or you can opt for the AM TEAM 2018.
Bosch CX & Intuvia eBike System
The new Lapierre Overvolt AM 800+ 2018 eBike 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 assist, 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 800+ 2018 features the Bosch 500Wh PowerPack Battery offering the most range possible on a Bosch powered electric mountain bike.

Review submitted on previous model: After much deliberation I chose to buy from the ever-patient Martin because I reckoned aftersales was going to be as important as an eMtb purchase. I haven't been disappointed...in fact he goes above and beyond to assist a newbie mtb'er.
The bike is incredible - it's the envy of everyone who sees it, even e-bike sceptics who all want a go on it. I have inflammatory arthritis and spinal injury so had to give up sports 15 years ago - this has opened the door to adrenaline and massive fun again. The bike is forgiving to a beginner yet capable way beyond I'll ever be able to take it.
If you think you might like an e-bike, all you need to do is decide which one and buy it from Martin!

Review submitted on previous model: I bought 2 mountain bikes off Martin when he was in Petersfield a few years ago and when I started looking for eBikes and noticed he now had the eBike shop I didn't bother looking anywhere else. I came in with the view of getting the Haibike All Mountain RX and after lots of easy to understand advise and a couple of demo rides, I purchased this SX800.
I suffer with extreme chronic pain throughout my body and needed to try and build muscle and stamina without wiping me out of action for days, whilst also having fun on trails and commuting to work. I have done 12 miles on the bike in 2 evenings riding so far and it's brilliant. The suspension is great and very versatile. The motor gives assistance up to around 15mph and then it's up to you (Which is good if you want more of a workout).
The 4 riding modes are also good for this but I tend to only use Standard and High to be honest. I still have 1/2 battery power left despite not using Eco or Eco+
Really impressed with the bike but more importantly the honest advise and aftercare from Martin and his team. I arrived at 2:30pm and took delivery an hour later. If you are after a bike, you definitely need to see these guys.
10/10!!
