This Sounds like is an outright ban on e-bikes in Toronto. I hope there’s an outcry at least on behalf of people with injuries or mobility concerns who have used e-bikes to improve their quality of life.

Timpo I’m not sure your post speaks to the point being made here. In canada the law is that bikes be limited to 500w nominal power. This is regulated federally through the Department of Transportation, however, there has very recently been a media release about the Federal Government initiating...

You’ve probably solved your problem by now but I also recommend the Facebook voltbike group. They are a very responsive, intelligent, experienced, knowledgeable and generous bunch of people there so you will like they love than one ... now two replies.

March 28, 2019 Are Electric Bikes Legal in Canada? We still get lots of questions about whether it is legal to ride your electric bike in Canada. We wrote this article two years ago, and it remains a popular resource. In 2019, it is a moot point when Pedegos are being ridden by law-enforcers...

Hey carlb, I just got off my morning commute. I know you said use google maps for kph but I didn’t get a chance to look into that. Also I don’t know if google maps records top speed or avg speed but I have no phone mount so I wouldn’t be able to see the kph in real-time. I can say there was no...

Could it be so simple. I highly doubt it. The voltbike website says it’s the wattage that is controlled but others on here have questioned whether that’s really possible because of peak vs nominal output. I did try lowering the diameter from 28 to 26 but there was no noticeable effect. I may try...

Facts are only worth something if they yield results. In this case they were useless. The CUL can be set to a million...has no effect. You can enter the password but you will find it’s already set to 99 or 100 which is the top setting. So the answer for how to make the voltbike Yukon 750 faster...

Hi Timpo, I like your description of the classes, I can only hope it’s accurate because it certainly doesn’t seem logical. Why would you have a separate class for a bike with a throttle. The throttle still only moves the bike forward, like peddling. And what if I have a bike w throttle that...

Yes this gentleman changed the battery and the console as well. . . And the tires. . .and the crank. At what point does it become an entirely different bike? That’s a question for philosophers. He says he gets 30 miles an hour, that’s fast.

Hey Nick, did you look at ace20ri’s reply? This guy is the real deal in terms of maxing out the bike’s speed capacity. As your comment above says, I think you’re in the same camp as me, just looking to go a bit faster, but what this guy has done is truly inspiring.

From the manual: Advanced Settings: Double pressing power button in interval less than 0.3 sec. will get you into parameter setting mode. From here you can set various parameters like wheel diameter, system voltage and switch km/h to mp/h. Once you are into advanced mode you can short press...

Hey Nick, so my understanding from all this is that you can simply go into the advanced settings through the display, you might need to enter a code of 1919 at some point, then you select CUL (current level) and change the setting from 10-15 and that should add something like 8kph to your top...

Can anyone tell me whether the difference in my top speed torq and pulling power is significant between these two motors? I question whether it’s worth the extra money for the 750.

Thanks everyone. I got the question from a local ebike rental shop owner who is skeptical about the product. Now I know what to tell him.

How does the liquid not pool in the tire causing an imbalance?
