Summary
The Lapierre Overvolt hybrid bike series receives mixed to positive reviews, praised for its balanced handling, efficient Bosch motor performance, and innovative suspension systems like OST+. However, criticisms include its hefty price, some component choices, and tire grip issues in wet conditions. The bike's design and technology, such as the centralised weight distribution and eMTB-specific features, stand out, though comparisons highlight areas where competitors may offer better value or performance.
Balanced handling due to centralised weight distribution
Efficient Bosch motor performance for longer rides
Innovative suspension systems like OST+ for comfort
Well-designed geometry for aggressive riding
Integrated battery and motor technology
Hefty price point
Some component choices seem mismatched for the price
Tire grip issues in wet conditions
Long back end affects maneuverability
Bosch motor can be noisy at high RPM
Lapierre has combined its fibre experience with an already proven suspension design, thrown in weight placement designed to maximise ride control, to create its 23.5kg e-bike.
BikeRadarIt’s one of the most responsive electric bicycle systems that I have tested to date.
Electric Bike ReviewThe Lapierre Overvolt AM 727i Shimano certainly has downhill credentials; it’s fun to ride and inspires the confidence to throw it down anything.

A discreetly housed battery and bombproof build offers all-day action on Lapierre's latest e-rig, the Lapierre Overvolt AM700i electric mountain bike.
Bomb proof spec. Looks great for an e-bike.
Bosch display is bulky and somewhat exposed. A deeper tread rear tyre than the Maxxis Rekon would increase traction to better match the power.

Lapierre has got away with retro geometry thanks to motorised bulk. Buy if you’re looking for a premium, capable all-day e-bike
Well centred, well balanced bike
Long back end, hefty price

More expensive because it's Carbon and limited (99 made), fatter downtube with a tray type section that could collect debris, limited availability in the US

Ein voll funktionstüchtiges, futuristisch anmutendes E-Mountainbike. Geht das Lapierre Overvolt AM 900+ Carbon genauso ab wie Poe Damerons X-Wing-Fighter?
Jul 2015 · Cory Benson
To add to the reworking of their popular Zesty line, Lapierre also put a lot of effort going in a completely other direction. As one of the very few companies seriously developing off-road e-bikes, Lapierre has gone all in with an expansion of their Overvolt range of bikes. With three distinct mountain lines – SX (Super …
