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.

Pros
  • 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

Cons
  • 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

Key Quotes
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.

It’s one of the most responsive electric bicycle systems that I have tested to date.

The Lapierre Overvolt AM 727i Shimano certainly has downhill credentials; it’s fun to ride and inspires the confidence to throw it down anything.

Lapierre Overvolt AM700i first ride - MBR

Dec 2017 · Mountain Bike Rider

A discreetly housed battery and bombproof build offers all-day action on Lapierre's latest e-rig, the Lapierre Overvolt AM700i electric mountain bike.

Highs
  • Bomb proof spec. Looks great for an e-bike.

Lows
  • Bosch display is bulky and somewhat exposed. A deeper tread rear tyre than the Maxxis Rekon would increase traction to better match the power.
