Your opening post assumed that there would be an ebike within 3 minutes walk and the city that you have referenced in this thread is Sacramento, Cal. Average walking speed is 0.6 miles in 10 minutes. So in any one direction a person can walk an area of 0.16 square miles in 3 minutes. Sacramento...

The only way that an ebikeshare program can work is if there is high tourist traffic. The only sustainable alternative would be the commuter market. So lets use your figures and say that you can rent a bike for $50 per day. That's $250 per week or $1000 per month. Purchasing your own ebike...

Tromboner, these 2 bikes are so close in terms of spec, price and appearance I'm not sure that there is a clear answer. Volt fans will tell you Volt bikes, Rad fans will tell you Radrover. I think we have to defer to the one guy who knows more about ebikes than anyone else, Court. If you...

I can see ebikeshare working only in cities that have a large tourist sector. The largest growth sector for ebike users will be commuters and retirees that want to get some exercise while going about their daily routines. These people need to have the convenience of being able to wheel their...

The problem with property marking websites is that they are at the whim of the good meaning individual who sets them up. There have been many of these websites that have come and gone because the work required to administrate them wears them down and there is not enough money coming in to make...

Does anyone bother to engrave their bike ?? Using an engraver to write your driving licence number on the frame makes the bike much harder for thieves to sell because the end buyer of the stolen bike will know that police can easily trace the bike back to original owner. Engrave your DL# on the...

Tromboner, got it. Thanks for the update. You say that Radbikes are sold out too. Like you and PCDoctor, I also like the Radrover as a second option. These 2 bikes are so close in price, spec and appearance. How do you know that the Radbike is sold out? There website says that they are in...

Tromboner, which youtube video was it. I'd like to read the response myself.

Okay. Thanks for that update. You got a quick response, give them props for that. They're still not getting a Christmas card until after all the turkey left-overs have been used up.

Just for that, I'm not going to sent Voltbikes a Christmas card until January 2nd. See how they feel !! Teach them to mess with my emotions.

Not the news I was hoping for. I guess the unpredictable nature of buying a bike from a company that does not carry a huge inventory but simple imports and distributes, is that delays will occur. Dammit, I was looking forward to next week.

Let me know how you get on. I think your gonna love it.

I had a very good experience last week when I met up with an ambassador. Within 2.5 hours of contacting Voltbike, I had received a response from the ambassador, met up with him and was test riding his bike around his neighbourhood. I couldn't stop smiling. It was great fun. 30 mins with an...

I.ve just checked a different threat. A member called Stinger ordered this bike on April5 and received it on April 20. Not too bad. It was the Voltbike Yukon 750 2018 model thread.

Tromboner, I pre-ordered a Voltbike Yukon Ltd on Sunday. Their website states that they are out of stock until May 20th. I'll let you know as soon as it arrives. Given the popularity of these bikes and the logistic nightmares of shipping orders from China I'm not totally shocked by the fact...

Twist grip. check out voltbike.ca, they have photos of the latest upgrades.

The new Yukon 750 ltd does have a half grip throttle. There is no top speed, you can go as fast as your feet can pedal, motor will cut out at 32km/hr.

Brent Crude Oil prices hit a 3.5 year high today at $78.13 per barrel. Many market experts are suggesting that the price could hit $120 in the next few months. This will inevitably hit motorists hard and many will look to ebikes as a much cheaper option. I recently calculated that it costs me...

I think everyone can appreciate your concerns. Online business will always struggle to compete with bricks and mortar businesses when it comes to confidence in the end product. I too am an ebike newbie and have decided to take the plunge by buying a Voltbike. Part of my concern about making...

Remember the old joke that your parents used to say that when they were kids they would walk to school and it was 8 miles and uphill, in both directions. I like to think of riding an ebike to work was being downhill in both directions.
