Production capacity will almost double from 1,200 units per month to 2,200. This can be attributed to the installment of a second production line and the creation of additional storage spaces.
After establishing a production facility in Genas in mid-2020, foldable electric bicycle manufacturer, and LEVA-EU member, Eovolt has ridden the two-wheeled wave. In the first year, sales saw an increase from 3,800 units, to 9,500. As growth shows no sign of slowing down into 2022, it is unsurprising that the company continues to upscale its manufacturing presence.
An investment of €500,000 has secured the additional production capacity. Baptiste Fullen, Eovolt co-founder, shares, “The expansion of our production unit is part of a global company development project. We want to accentuate our local approach in order to lock our production chain and to be more responsive and more flexible.”
Going into 2022, Eovolt condenses its folding e-bike range to three unique models and further develops production techniques.
The three new Eovolt models are:
Eovolt Morning 16” folding e-bike. Compact, lightweight folding e-bike featuring 16” wheels, five levels of assistance, four gears, hydraulic disc brakes and seat post battery with up to a 50km range. Detailed specs.
Eovolt Afternoon 20” folding e-bike. Compact 20” folding e-bike featuring 20” wheels, five levels of assistance, seven gears, hydraulic disc brakes, suspension front fork and seat post battery with up to 100km of range. Detailed specs.
Eovolt Evening 24” compact step-through semi folding e-bike. A brand new model for 2022 is the Evening 24” compact step-through semi folding e-bike, featuring 24” wheels, five levels of assistance, seven gears, hydraulic disc brakes and seat post battery with up to 100km of range. Detailed specs.
Going into 2022, Eovolt bikes see significantly more in-house production, ensuring the highest level of quality control, and reducing reliance upon supply chains; these have of course been unreliable in recent months due to the Covid-19 pandemic. In-house frames feature smooth welds, internally routed cables, and a new matte coat finish. The retailer has also made steps to secure both tire and wheel manufacturing throughout the 2022 season, and has also committed to a strong price point, with the price of the 20″ Afternoon model coming down by £150 compared to 2021.
