2013 Voltitude: The Electric Swiss Army Bike Gets Real

After years of fund-raising and development, the “Electric Swiss Army Bike” Voltitude is ready for full-scale production. The first batch of the bikes are being built now, and initial orders should be shipping before the new year!

With a 15 mph top speed and a 25 mile electric-only range (add “as far as you can pedal” to that for a total range), the little electric moped takes Swiss Army knife aesthetics and adds a fair bit of Swiss Army durability in the form of stainless steel and billet aluminum construction. The steel and aluminum frame is complimented with high-quality pedals, seat, and handlebars, as well. The bike’s makers haven’t cut corners, in other words, so you can expect a riding experience filled with high-end precision.

This is about as high-end as folding electric bicycles get, people. If an electric Swiss Army bike is your bag, then this is your bike.

    Hi,

    Sorry, but your title in not correct: this bike has nothing to do with the Swiss Army !

    In English, you always hear people talking about the famous “Swiss Army knife”, but here in Switzerland, in French, we only say “Swiss knife” or even “pocket knife” (and this bike is meant to look – and fold – like one, that’s the purpose).

    True, the original “Army knife” is still produced and used in the Swiss Army, but the actual “Swiss knives” (usually red with our flag, but also pink, blue, green…) have nothing to do with the army.

    By the way, if you take a look at Voltitude’s website, it only says: “Dubbed the swiss army bike by the media”

    … Swiss knife bike would be more appropriate…. ;-)
