Range Review : Lapierre Overvolt 2018 Shimano Powered eBikes
By Martin Brown |

So What's New?
Shimano Steps E8000 Motor
This is the first time Lapierre have offered a Shimano powered bike in the range. Shimano hit the market with their new E8000 eMTB specific system recently.
Suspension Travel & Wheel Size
This is the first full 160mm travel range, offering a great all-around Enduro / Freeride / Trail Center setup for a one-bike-does-it-all kind of vibe.
Frame Design & Geometry
A whole new geometry setup has been created for the new 2018 Lapierre Overvolt eBikes.
New 'SnakeTech' Battery Tech
Whilst on the frame, the battery has been contained within the down tube offering a stronger, more rigid design. The battery can be inserted via a port on the side meaning the downtube retains its rigidity without needing a long exit for the battery.
