Which? Magazine’s Best Folding E-Bikes for 2025 – Featuring VOLT Metro

We’re delighted to share that our VOLT Metro folding e-bike has been recognised by Which? magazine as one of the best folding electric bikes for 2025—and we couldn’t be more proud to be included by such a trusted and prestigious publication.

Which? is the UK’s leading consumer advice brand. They’ve been independently testing products for over 65 years, and their recommendations are widely regarded as the gold standard in reliability and rigour. So when they put a product through its paces—and still give it a thumbs-up—you know it’s something special.

In their latest guide to buying the best folding e-bike, Which? included the VOLT Metro among their top picks, praising its performance, convenience, and overall quality. They describe the Metro as a folding e-bike that “rides well and feels sturdy, even at speed.” That’s music to our ears, as it speaks to the very heart of what we’ve designed the Metro to be: compact, practical, and a joy to ride.

The review also highlights the Metro’s solid build quality and stability, something we’re often commended on. Folding e-bikes are notoriously tricky to get right—you want them small and nimble, but without sacrificing comfort or safety. That’s exactly the balance we’ve worked hard to strike with the Metro.

We know from talking to our riders that portability matters—whether you’re hopping on a train, storing it under your desk, or squeezing it into a boot. With the Metro’s clever quick-fold frame, removable battery, and easy-to-use mechanism, we’ve made sure that practicality doesn’t come at the expense of style or performance.

Of course, this isn’t the first time the Metro has earned top marks. It’s become a favourite for commuters, caravaners, and city explorers alike. It’s even found fans on TV and in the press thanks to its versatility and sleek design. But to receive this recognition from Which?, with their famously tough testing standards, is a real badge of honour for us.

It also reinforces something we believe deeply: that you don’t have to compromise to go electric. Whether you’re new to cycling or just looking for a more flexible way to travel, the Metro proves that you can have a high-quality, fun-to-ride e-bike that folds up neatly when the ride is done.

We’d like to thank Which? for putting the Metro through its paces and recognising the thought and engineering that goes into every VOLT e-bike. If you’re curious about the Metro or considering making the switch to a folding e-bike, now’s the perfect time to take a closer look.
