    Can the Dolphin 2.3 inch tire be fitted on the Volado rims?

    It made a world of difference upgrading the tires on the Volador to Schwalbe Marathon Plus, though they were thinner than the stock tires. Far more comfortable and stable ride, absorbs the bumps, better traction all around, plus they're highly puncture resistant.

    1500 miles on the Qualisports Volador

    One of my criteria was the bike had to be small and light enough to go up the very narrow stairs to my second floor apartment. The Volador is about 40 pounds with fenders and rack. A bike ten or more pounds heavier would be straining to carry. I do dig that the pricing left room in my budget to...

    Qualisports owners?

    Right on... the Dolphin should be a great bike! Pedals are the MKS FD-7's, which are great. My saddle is the WTB Comfort saddle. It's certainly an improvement over the stock saddle and looks very similar, however I wouldn't mind swapping it out for something a little different... perhaps a...

    Controller Modification for more speed?

    I couldn't imagine the hamster wheel pedaling pace of going much past 20 mph on the Volador. But, you can modify the speed by changing a setting in the controller.

I have a 7.5 mile commute and ride...
