2025 Lapierre Overvolt HT 5.5 500Wh High Electric Hardtail Mountain Bike In Grey

The Lapierre Overvolt HT 5.5 takes a straightforward approach to electric mountain biking, pairing established hardtail design principles with modern e-bike technology. The aluminium Overvolt Bosch Supreme 5 frame forms the foundation, creating a responsive platform that handles everything from woodland singletrack to countryside touring routes. The hardtail configuration keeps overall weight manageable while preserving the direct connection between rider and trail that many prefer for technical climbs and precise handling.

Power comes from the Bosch Performance Line motor, delivering assistance up to 25kph through energy stored in the frame-integrated 500Wh battery. This motor provides natural-feeling support that complements rather than dominates the riding experience, making challenging gradients and longer distances more manageable. The integration maintains clean frame lines whilst ensuring the battery remains protected from the elements and securely mounted.

Up front, the SR Suntour XCM 32 DS fork provides 120mm of travel to absorb trail impacts and surface irregularities. This travel amount works well for the bike's intended territory – sufficient to take the sting out of rocks, roots, and rough patches whilst maintaining pedalling efficiency on smoother terrain and sustained climbs.

The drivetrain centres around Shimano's CUES 9-speed system, featuring the U3020 rear derailleur matched to an 11-36T cassette that covers the essential gear ratios. CUES components are engineered for consistent operation under the higher loads typical of electric mountain biking, where motor assistance can place additional demands on shifting mechanisms. A Samox crankset with 34T steel chainring handles power transfer duties.

Schürmann Yak25 rims – specifically developed for electric mountain bike applications – form the wheelset foundation, built with boost spacing hubs front and rear for enhanced rigidity. WTB Ranger Comp tyres in 2.3" width strike a useful compromise between rolling resistance and off-road traction across mixed surfaces. Tektro hydraulic disc brakes with 180mm rotors front and rear handle stopping duties with consistent performance across varying conditions.

The Overvolt HT 5.5 represents a sensible entry point into electric mountain biking, emphasising functional components and straightforward operation over cutting-edge specifications. Its build focuses on durability and ease of maintenance, making it appropriate for riders new to e-MTBs as well as those who prioritise reliable everyday performance over the latest technological advances.

Whether you're riding 20 or 200 kilometres, nothing can stop its reliability. What are you waiting for?
