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.

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 prestigious partnerships, including Isabel Marant, Dior, Octobre Éditions and the Parisian palaces Cheval Blanc and Le Bristol.
Since 2023: acceleration and international
After raising funds at the end of summer 2022, the company is accelerating at all levels. It launched a national poster campaign, and opened its first boutiques in the Marais district of Paris and in Seoul, South Korea. In 2024, the brand opens two new addresses in Saint-Germain-des-Près and Brussels, while expanding its network of partners, with 200 points of sale in 15 countries.
