    Another NYC Crackdown - 247 bikes seized in 24hrs

    Bummer to be a New Yorker :(.. Did they set any parameters for what they consider illegal? Or, are they just blanket stating electric bikes are illegal?

    Canadian Debit cards don't work the same as other international cards including USA ones.. even if they have a Visa symbol on them they don't normally work as credit. One day maybe though...

    Volt Bike Mariner 2016: So far so happy! Observations as they happen.

    PS @flbum I would love to see some photo updates of the bell and new bits of the new Mariners out of curiosity of course. Please post.. Yay! :D Looking forward to the new Tesla 21070 batteries coming out... I am sure that will change ebike batteries soon enough. :)

    Volt Bike Mariner 2016: So far so happy! Observations as they happen.

    SCREW ON BATTERY RAIL CHECK: I'm not sure if this is the issue but definitely something to check. Mine was rattling when I first got it. Pull out the battery and check the rail is screwed in all the way to the frame. You can see in the photos below mine was rattling and yanked around before the...

    Volt Bike Mariner 2016: So far so happy! Observations as they happen.

    RE: 5 BAR battery indicator LEVEL's: The levels are not quite that accurate. I think this is pretty consistent with most Lithium Battery's. I would not rely on the indicator alone. Most Lithium battery types show a pretty full charge until they have very little left then the voltage goes kapute...

    Volt Bike Mariner 2016: So far so happy! Observations as they happen.

    @Uphill Yes timidness probably does also play a factor and yes the slower you go the less balance you have. My boyfriend has fallen a whole lot less than I and it's likely because he doesn't brake as much or go as slow.. I was being a bit crazy on my most recent launch though o_O. I fell a...

    Volt Bike Mariner 2016: So far so happy! Observations as they happen.

    My experience on off trail terrain: Once you hit some uphill it would be nice to have some granny gears as the bike's heft can slow you down quite quick. It is also back heavy so you can get some air if you are not aware going up stuff. Yes yes there is a throttle but.. perhaps my lack of mtn...

    Voltbike YUKON 500 Tire Repair- Can't find any place to repair

    @SuperGoop Wire beads are tough.. Same deal on the Mariner 20x4".. Bought some replacement tires (flexible bead Vee's) for when replacement needs arrive. No way would I be able to change a tire on the road if I get a flat on this thing cuz of the bead... Travel with communication to the someone...

    Bottom bracket broken already?

    Sounds like you should take it to the bike shop and get it checked over. Maybe something happened during shipping? Can you upload some photos so others can see what is going on? George is usually quite helpful. Having a broken bike is a bummer though. Sorry.

    Volt Bike Mariner 2016: So far so happy! Observations as they happen.

    I'm gonna guess no (but I have assumed wrong before) but I may be able to give it a try in a 2004 Corolla to see if that helps? Not sure if the trunks have changed over the years.

    Ah.. that makes sense. Serious perks to riding slower overall me thinks. :D

    Volt Bike Mariner 2016: So far so happy! Observations as they happen.

    @ace20ri Sounds like you have dived deeper into the system than I. I have been curious but tentative to change these over but if have not had any major issues while adjusting these, then I might give a try and see what happens.:) Adjusting the throttle output sounds like an added bonus that I...

    Volt Bike Mariner 2016: So far so happy! Observations as they happen.

    I believe the Yukon battery has a bit more capacity and the motor is a bit beefier. Perhaps this can extend the range your bike can go. I have noticed you can go slower and get more battery as well but I hadn't quite narrowed it down to 22km/h. I will keep that in mind though it's hard to not...

    2016 Voltbike Mariner - My Honest Review

    Maybe we could get a list of interested folk.. I am pretty sure the RadMini has the same battery/connectors so between both there could be enough? Of course if the cost isn't insane.
