Since most modern internet users have the attention span of a Petsmart goldfish, I’ll cut right to the chase with this Vvolt Proxima review: Buy this e-bike.
It’s fast, has a mid-drive, handles superbly and boasts a component package that’s not only functional and high-performing, but is nicer quality than almost any other e-bike I’ve ridden in the sub-$3,000 price bracket.
It’s also designed by people that get it: They get that good e-bikes — especially good
For those still with me (analytics data tells us the average Electric Bike Report reader does, in fact, have a much better attention span than the nine seconds we’d get with a goldfish), our real-world testing has shown that the Vvolt Proxima is a nicely rounded e-bike that’s billed as a versatile model, but will serve those looking for a light and fast commuter very well. We put it through a gauntlet of tests to help paint a picture of how this bike performs in the real world, the results of which are detailed in the sections below.
It’s not a perfect e-bike, as there are a few things (mainly the battery range) that left our review staff wanting a little more, but as a complete package, the Proxima has quickly become one of our favorites.
*Vvolt has discountinued the Proxima line, but make sure to check out the Alpha II.
