I just recently ordered a trailblazer and would love to hear some first hand experience of any owners. I imagine the eXplorer is very similar so I'd love to hear about that one as well. I'll write my review of the bike once I've had some time with it, likely in late October.

Hi all, It’s been nearly two months since my review of the Volton Mid-drive 500w. A lot has happened in that time frame but I’ll try to keep it short. Ultimately it seems that I got a lemon. I have to take a moment and specifically call out a thank you to the retail bike ship I purchased from...

They may have adjusted because there was a soft foam block under the battery area. The battery seemed to be well placed and tight so I don't think it disconnecting will be much of an issue anymore... At least I hope that's the case :) The delay is really a problem for me based on the way I ride...

In the Volton area I posted my initial review (includes mid-drive vs. rear geared info). http://electricbikereview.com/community/threads/volton-mid-drive-500w-48v-owner-review.1621/

Hi all, it's been about a month since I ordered my Volton Mid-Drive 500w (48volt/11ah using bbs02) and it finally came in yesterday. I figured I'd provide my first impressions in this thread for those looking or interested. My wife owns a Pedego Interceptor Step Thru 24inch (48volt/10ah soon to...

Cool app, what's it called?

Toynut, the retail shops I went to did not have the Volton Alation 500 (rear geared hub at 48v/11ah), however they did have the Pedego Interceptor 500w rear geared hub at 48v/15ah. Since the motor and battery are similar I made the assumption that from a torque and performance perspective they...

This was a very helpful explanation thank you. I suppose it sounds like I'll just have to deal with the high prices as I have very little to no interest in trying to custom outfit a battery to my off the shelf e-bikes. I purchased off the shelf because I don't want to do any advanced...

Do aftermarket batteries exist for Volton 500w mid-drive Samsung 48v 11ah and Pedego Interceptor 24 inch step thru Samsung 48v 15ah? I'm interested in purchasing a secondary battery for each but the retail prices are outrageous.

I opted for a Volton Alation 500w mid-drive for myself. I'm a heavy rider at 280lb and found that the torque of a mid drive was superior while hill climbing. My comparison testing consisted of 4 different types/combinations of motors and batteries. A 500w (36v) gearless rear hub motor, a 500w...

I bought one thanks.

Hi not sure if your aware but the Alation Mid Drive now has an upgrade option to get the BBS02 motor. It's throttled at the controller (18a instead of standard 25a) so that it only has effectively 500w worth of power and torque instead of 750 but it is the bbs02 and there is a good chance it can...

What size seat post do these bikes require? I'm eyeing up this one... http://www.xxcycle.com/seat-post-suspended-sun-tour-ncx-sp-12-316-mm,,en.php

I know this is a noobie question. But how do I know which size I need for my bike? I have a Volton Alation Mid Drive 500w (https://voltonbicycles.com/).

I just purchased this Bike and should receive it in less than 2 weeks. I'm really hoping you were able to work through your challenges and that all is well. Question, what motor is the 500w version using? Is it the BBS02?
