BEAUTIFUL. PRACTICAL. ELECTRIC.

The story of a meeting

BOULEVARD VOLTAIRE

A passion for cycling. A love of beautiful things.

At the end of 2018, Voltaire was born from the meeting of a duo of entrepreneurs, including Grégoire Lieurade, former product manager at Porsche. A discussion quickly ensued about their passion for bicycles and the obstacles to their development. The conclusion was clear: together, they would create the electric bike brand of their dreams.

The Voltaire office

Founded in 2019, our brand will deliver its first bikes in 2021 after two years of R&D. After 3 moves, our team, now made up of 18 employees, is based on rue Legendre in the 17th arrondissement of Paris. Our bikes are assembled in Eastern France, in Romilly-sur-Seine, and in Portugal, south of Porto.

Our route

2019 - 2021: R&D and industrialization
The company is created in March 2019. The founders surround themselves with engineers to develop the first prototypes. A mechanical team designs the bikes and develops the motor system, while the technical team designs the on-board electronics. The first prototype is born in October 2019. A series of improvements follow, and the second prototype is created in June 2020, just after the first confinement. After an industrialization phase, the pre-production model sees the light of day in early 2021.
2021 - 2022: arrival on the market
After a successful pre-order campaign, the first Voltaires are delivered in April 2021. Success was immediate, and the brand carved out a place for itself in this competitive market by offering top-of-the-range products and delivering an exceptional customer experience. In fact, it has the highest Trustpilot rating among electric bike brands at 4.7/5. This success has attracted a number of prestigious partnerships, including Porsche, Claudie Pierlot, Sezane and the Le Bristol luxury hotel.
Since 2023: acceleration and international
After raising funds at the end of summer 2022, the company accelerates at all levels. It launched a national poster campaign, opened its flagship store on Rue de Rivoli, launched the Legendre, its first high-frame model, and opened its first boutique on the Asian continent in Seoul, South Korea. With a presence in 12 countries, 2024 gets off to a strong start, with an increase in orders (x2.5 vs. 2023), the launch of the new Rivoli model and, soon, the opening of a second boutique in Paris.
