“That’s Not Going to Sell”: 10 Years of VOLT at Leith Cycle Co.

November 6, 2026

Just over a decade ago, Richard at Leith Cycle Co. agreed to give a VOLT folding e-bike a go. He was convinced it would just gather dust. Instead, it kicked off one of our longest-running dealer partnerships, with somewhere between 400 and 500 VOLT bikes sold since. VOLT Co-Founder and Director Lyle Metcalfe headed up to Edinburgh to catch up with Richard on 10 years of e-bikes, commuters and Edinburgh hills.
