Origin
The Volta is Basso's carbon e-bike and, true to the brand, it's made in Italy from Torayca carbon. It's pitched as Basso's most versatile platform: a fast drop-bar machine that runs as a quick road bike on 700c wheels but transforms into a capable rough-trail bike when you swap in a 650b wheelset. The heart is an Italian Polini E-P3+ GP mid-motor — over 80 Nm of torque and a 500 Wh battery good for up to ~220 km — wrapped in a low, aero-friendly geometry that keeps total weight to about 15.2 kg.
