    Known Issues & Problems with Voltbike Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    RadMini was on my list too, I like it a lot and given the awful customer experience I had with Voltbike I regret not going with it! I would have gladly payed 300CAD more to get a quick support instead of waiting for weeks for an answer! RadMini shares the same motor and wheels with the Mariner...

    Known Issues & Problems with Voltbike Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    Are you talking about the display panel (the one that shows the PAS level and speed), or about the battery level indicator on the battery itself? The panel should stay on, the battery charge level on the battery will briefly light on when you press the power button on it and then stay off. Good...

    @PCDoctorUSA Yes, after 3 emails (no answer to the first two!) and 3 weeks waiting time I finally received the pin yesterday! I must confess that I am very disappointed with Voltbike support and their lack of responsiveness and consideration for their clients! I had to mention legal actions on...

    Mariner 500W Limited commuter?

    Yes, I wish the weather was fine every day to go to work by bike! I have a paved (asphalt) bike path on the entire commute with trees and grass on the border, beautiful flat road. It takes me the same time by bike or by car (50 minutes), so I definitely enjoy more the bike, even though I need to...

    Mariner 500W Limited commuter?

    I guess you're right, I should wait until spring since winter is already here! My commute will be mainly on reserved bike paths with a couple of traffic light. I will be very happy if I'll be able to reduce the travel time to 50 minutes! :)

    Mariner 500W Limited commuter?

    @Cnugget Thank you very much for your answers! Great explanation and details, as always! I intend to use the Mariner as a daily commute in the Montreal metropolitan area and the terrain has around 60m elevation from home to work for ~24km distance. Google Maps says it should take me around 1h...

    Mariner 500W Limited commuter?

    Oh, sorry about that! I asked too many questions and I got confused on which one you answered, my bad! What about the autonomy and the maximum (comfortable) cruising speed you can achieve using the power assist mode (and pedaling in the same time)?

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

    Hi guys! What is the maximum comfortable cruising speed for you in PAS mode? I mean how fast can you go on the Mariner for extended periods of time, until the battery is drained?

    Mariner 500W Limited commuter?

    Yes, I realize this bike is heavier than a regular one, but the electric motor should help, right?
