E-bikes that Deliver 48,000 miles –  Dierdre & Her “Little Gazelle” Customer Stories

There’s something special about the bond between a rider and their e-bike — and in our latest VOLT Customer Story, Dierdre captures that feeling perfectly.

Affectionately known as her “little gazelle,” Dierdre’s VOLT Pulse Electric Bike is more than just a way to get around — it’s her everyday companion, her transport, and her ticket to adventure!

Set in her beautiful home on the Black Isle in the Scottish Highlands, Dierdre’s story is one of independence, resilience, and a genuine love for cycling. Living in a historic fishing village, surrounded by listed buildings and coastal views, she’s perfectly placed for scenic rides — but it’s not all leisurely pedalling. Her bike is essential.

Swapping Fossil Fuel for Pedal Power

Choosing not to own a car, Dierdre relies on her VOLT Pulse for everything from commuting to exploring. Whether it’s a 40-minute ride into Inverness for work, or longer journeys across the west coast on camping trips, her bike is always there — even hopping on trains to join her travels further afield.

Dierdre has already clocked an incredible 48,000 miles on her previous Pulse — a testament to both her dedication and the bike’s durability. 

What stands out most is her appreciation for the reliability and build quality:

“She still turns up every day… I switch her on and off, she goes.”

For Dierdre, cycling isn’t just practical — it’s joyful. Her Pulse helps her travel further, stay fit, save money, and enjoy every journey along the way.

A way of life reimagined

After months of research back in 2018, Dierdre and her friends made the switch to VOLT e-bikes — and haven’t looked back since. Today, her household includes multiple VOLT models, all playing their part in a car-free lifestyle.

It’s a story we love to hear — not just about miles travelled, but about a way of life reimagined.

And as Dierdre continues to turn heads on the roads of the Highlands, she’s always happy to share her experience:

“I’ve recommended VOLT over and over again… here I am on my trusty VOLT bike.”
