Frequently Asked Questions
What is an electric cycle with gear and how does it work?
An electric cycle with gear combines a traditional multi-speed gear system (7-speed, 21-speed Shimano or Microshift) with a 250W BLDC hub motor and battery. The gear system lets you manually adjust pedaling resistance while the motor provides electric assist — giving you better control on hills, rough terrain, and varying speeds.
Is a geared electric cycle better than a single-speed e-bike?
For hilly terrain, long distances, or mixed city-and-off-road use, a geared electric cycle is significantly better — it allows you to pedal efficiently at low speeds uphill and cruise faster on flat roads. Single-speed e-bikes are easier to maintain and ideal for flat urban commutes.
What is the price of an electric cycle with gear in India?
Geared electric cycles in India range from ₹22,990 to ₹45,000+. Voltebyk offers 7-speed and 21-speed geared e-bikes starting from ₹24,990 with front suspension, disc brakes, 36V lithium batteries, and 250W BLDC motors.
Can I convert my geared bicycle into an electric cycle?
Yes. Voltebyk conversion kits are compatible with geared bicycles including 21-speed MTB frames. The hub motor replaces your front or rear wheel, while your existing gear cassette and derailleur remain functional for pedal-assist cycling.
