VoltQuads Ltd. builds bikes that working operators actually need: performance, reliability, and safety.
The VQ bike is quieter, cheaper to run, safer by design, and built in Britain.
The VQ
The VQ delivers consistent torque where it matters most: on hills, under load, and across uneven or wet terrain. The 48V battery system is a deliberate engineering choice, enabling safe, practical use in the field.
The bike can run up to 50 miles on a single charge, charging from a standard 13-amp plug. The battery can be swapped on site without specialist tools or trained technicians, making it easy to use and keeping downtime to a minimum.
It is Light Agricultural classified and fits directly into your existing operations.
Configurable speed and torque profiles for any rider ability or terrain condition
Safe start function for real working environments
Battery swappable on-site by the operator
Direct support from the people who built it - no distribution chain

Built by people who understand the land.
Volt Quads started with someone who had spent decades running petrol quad bikes for work. Fred Chugg understands quad bikes better than almost anyone. He knows how they perform, where they fail, and what a better one should do. So he started building one himself. From the ground up.
Building a British-made electric quad bike is not a simple undertaking. It requires a team that understands the land, understands the machine, and is not prepared to compromise.
The result is a machine that costs a fraction of the petrol alternative to run, handles whatever the ground asks of it, and is built around the safety of the people who use it every day.

Decades of experience farming an estate in Devon and running quad bikes commercially across rugged terrain in British weather.
Yes. We're delighted to offer demonstrations.
50 miles on a single charge. Charge time is 2.5 hours on a standard mains supply.
900kg. Designed for the loads a working estate, farm, or land management operation actually puts on a vehicle.
The VQ has a 40mph top speed (limited for safety). Speed and power output can be configured by the operator before use, depending on the terrain and the rider.
48v. This is a deliberate engineering choice. It makes the battery safe to handle and swap on-site by the operator, without specialist tools or a trained technician.
Yes. The 48v battery is designed to be swapped on site by the operator without specialist tools or a service visit. This keeps downtime to a minimum and removes the need for a dealer to be involved in routine battery management.
As a Light Agricultural Vehicle, it can be used on public roads for agricultural purposes without requiring registration or road tax. Speak to the team if you want to confirm what that means for your specific operation.
The VQ was built for serious commercial use across working ground - gradients, uneven terrain, wet conditions, and loaded operation.
The VQ has preset safety modes that allow speed, power output, and response sensitivity to be configured before a rider gets on the bike - adjusting speed, power output, and response sensitivity to match the person, terrain, and task. Switching between profiles takes seconds. Nobody goes further or faster than they should.
You contact us directly. There is no distribution chain between you and the people who built the bike. All support comes from Telford.
Yes, please contact us for more information on this.
Soon to be available in Europe. Get in touch, and we will give you a timeline.
The team can talk you through the full specification, the TCO comparison for your specific situation, and arrange a demonstration.
