The Vollta HEV is built upon commercially available recumbent chassis. Vollta has
identified a number of high quality chassis that work great as an HEV base. Vollta
HEVs can be either single, tandem, or side-by-side driver models.
The ActionBent Trike was our first chassis selected as a base for the Vollta HEV.
This exceptional trike was selected for its stability at high speeds, quality
materials, and reasonable cost. A review of the ActionBent trike is available from

classified as an electric-bike or a moped.
