The 60 mph is not a speed I really want to travel at on an Ebike myself. However the torque rating and the range are both what I am looking for in my 2nd purchase. Part of my daily commute involves a highway where big trucks are whipping by at 50 mph. If I can hit 40mph on that 1 mile stretch I...

If you ride in a responsible manner on roads or trails I have no problem with any over powered Ebike. Responsible riding makes the difference in my mind

So my thinking is if I stick to 32 kph/20 mph I can ride legally on the road like a regular Ebike....and if the fuzz trys to pull me over I can take to the trails offroad at 95 kph/57 mph and give them the middle finger salute....I'm 58 yrs old so should be able to make bail if the plan...

Definitely not road legal, but does have pedals and would make an interesting offroad ride. 8,000 Watts, 95 kph, 120 km range, 72 volt, 40 Ah battery, 190 NM torque and $7,500 CDN from Markava in Quebec...

The Voltbike throttle does have an on/off button that cuts off power to the motor. Also one of the first things I learned when mounting/dismounting my ebike was to engage a brake to disable the motor.

Where are you getting that info? I have a VoltBike Bravo that has a throttle and can be engaged without pedal assist from a complete stop. Canadian company and no regulations in Ontario prohibiting that.

I have a Bravo and am 6' and 170lb. 32" inseam. I have the seat post pretty much at maximum for proper leg extension and adjusted the stem so I am in a more upright position. I find the bike to fit nicely and be quite comfortable on extended rail trail rides and my daily urban commute...

I have about 1,500 km on my updated Bravo and overall am happy with both the hydraulic brakes and 14.5 Ah battery. Avg 40 km using pedal assist level 9. I do need to replace stripped crankarms but a temp. fix I made appears to be holding up well.

I charge my battery to 100% pretty much every day regardless of how many km I ride. I put $1in a jar every time figuring this will offset the cost of a new battery. To be honest I bought the bike to ride and enjoy, not to micro manage the electrical component of it.

Are you all finished hijacking this thread?

So I tried using JB Weld to repair my stripped crank arms but that only lasted a few days before the pedals fell off. So I ordered a crank puller and removed the cranks and drilled and tapped both pedal spindles. JB Welded the pedals back on and then installed stainless hex bolt with 2 flat...

So...the JB Weld repair on the pedal only lasted 3 days. LBS is a joke. 2 weeks to get new cranks and pedals and also no crank pullers in stock for sale. So new plan is to drill from backside of cranks into pedal spindle and then tap and install stainless cap hex bolts and flat washers. Asked...

Well I was checking them weekly, including rear axle nuts and tire pressure, etc. Just like I do with my Raleigh road bike which has been ridden 20 years & thousands of km with no issues other than general maintenance. I do find that I ride at a much higher cadence on my ebike, almost always in...

Just a first time owners 2 cents worth. Last Sat as I arrived to work my left pedal fell off. Thinking no big deal as they had loosened a few times previously and I had always been able to tighten them. Well after 1,300 km this time I realized the aluminum crank was stripped. If not for the...

The OP states he got 17 miles and the 15 miles on his ride which works out to be roughly 32 miles/50 km. I'm happy to get 40km/ 24 miles on my Voltbike Bravo in PAS level 9 with a 14,5 Ah battery. Never used the lowest PAS levels to see what kind of range is possible, Then again it's only 6km...

I grew up where the left arm was used for indicating all turns and stops. That being said, on my ebike the only time I use hand signals for turns is if I am in heavy traffic or I see a cop.

I wear them over my balaclava, but under my helmet and hoodie so the strap doesn't bend the sides of the goggles

I use a $5 pr of chemical splash goggles with a $ store balaclava and my hoodie under my helmet. So far so good

Decided to give this a try as I like the specs.. It is an industrial chain and sprocket lube by Class C Solutions Group so might be hard to source. * Super penetration without running, and encapsulates links, tight fitting pins and rollers. * Leaves an ionized film that resists throw-off from...

Both the Metro and Bravo have 13 gauge spokes. I do admit to checking mine weekly as I do a fair bit of offroad/trail riding. Could be a weight issue if you are a heavier rider, but although I only weigh 165 lbs I often load the rear of the bike with groceries/beer, etc.
