London-based bike maker Volt has launched a mid-drive folding ebike designed for city commutes that weighs in at 17 kg, rides with a low-maintenance carbon belt and can be had with a 60-mile battery.

Introducing cutting-edge replacement battery options empowers eBike users while showcasing the possibilities for environmentally benign and sustainable urban transportation.

The new battery is likely to outlast the bike—Zapbatt predicts at least 20 years—and then could be repurposed in another product. It also works in extreme cold, and has almost no risk of fire.
