@Rolfo I agree the speeds could be lower at start out. I am 5'8" with fairly long legs. I have the seat almost maxed out for height. You can go lower your seat position of course but the shock absorber in the post does limit how low it can go. I am sure you could get a different one to get...

I don't have a Prodecotech bike though? It's all okay.. just researching options for next summer. ;)

@Chuck Caho Did you ever manage to find a place to get your tire repaired at? Hoping you had some luck with getting that sorted.

Good to know about the weight. Because the tire is wider, it might not work with the Mariner without creating conflict with the chain. The clearance is pretty tight even with factory tires. One reason a smaller width would be awesome. Do you think I could get away with a 3" tire if I could find...

@Roflo While engaging the motor slowly is possible, it is a bit more of a challenge than a motorbike to complete. Normally on a motorbike you have both feet on the ground to balance where a bike has you(or at least me) are up higher off the ground for pedalling. I found I could not balance...

Looks like they don't have a 20 x 2.5 tire in the Hookworms. :confused:

Would this spec (2.5" x 20") work on the 4" x 20" rim configuration too? I have a fatbike Mariner similar to the RadRover Mini and doing a lot of pavement. Not sure if these tires would work but would be delighted if they did. Not experienced in tire fitting & bikes and what is compatible.

Of course a bigger battery would be awesome. :D I just wouldn't want to change it out for a shorter lifespan on the battery.. That is just my personal opinion though. I am not a kit builder so my knowledge of what is possible and not possible is limited by that. @zap016VOLTAGE You must be doing...

PS @zap016VOLTAGE I have bell envy. Of course a bigger battery is always exciting news but... I'm not sure I would want it at the cost of battery life span either. I had done some looking on Alibaba and read that a 20 amp silverfish battery would have a shorter life span(half the charges).. In...

I have seen some of these bikes advertising 20 ah. I was dubious of the specs from the website offering it though. The Mariner is unique in many ways but I am not sure if it is the first of it's kind either. The 48 Volt battery appears to be on par with many bikes of a much higher value for...

@Roflo I tried a partial engage of the throttle today inside during the rain storm just to see if you could.. And to my surprise.. I could!! :eek: Wow! You have to go real slow with the throttle then it sorta clicks where you can hear the motor engaging and trying to go forward. Then, it goes...

@vincent How a bike starts out and the performance of the initial levels can be very helpful. I did try a Pedago and found it over powered me completely prior to my purchase. The point was to ride a bike and have assist if I wanted it, not to sit on a bike and treat it like it was a scooter. I...

It will still pick you up pretty quick..at least I think so.. Using the thumb throttle at lower speeds is a fine art. I am more likely to just push it all the way on and get whisked off. I would have to try a partial engage.. ( I picture this having the effect of me fall over slowly and not...

Yes I love this feature! You can gauge how much of the battery you are using and how much (or little) your legs are pushing. On an earlier post in this thread I put up the menu settings break down. You can adjust the Speed Limit Set to a variety of numbers but the speed limiter has final say. I...

I received a response, but not the answer you were looking for sorry.:p Working on it. I am certain my bike is the very same that is still being sold. It has only been a day or so. I believe Voltbike Support will write back shortly. I bought my bike just in August and I was awaiting the...

While the motor stops, momentum still works great.:D I've clocked way upwards of 20 MPH on mine going downhill.. It really depends on the hill and your own mass.. It does have an ON or OFF feel if you are right on the bubble of the 20 mph. If I find that I am in that range, I usually turn down...

You can still do this on any level of assist. This is usually how I start out instead of pedalling until the PAS kicks in. If you clip a wire in your controller I am sure that this would enable you to go faster. You would void any kind of warranty if you did so though. I am fine with the amount...

I have sent an email to Voltbike support to verify but.. I am about 90% sure that you MSUT have the PAS level 1-9 selected to have the throttle work. I am also quite sure I have this very same model you speak of. It is a very simple system... When you turn it on it will by default be on level 1...

@Roflo Thottle only? Awesome!! Did George mention how that was achieved? I believe this is the same bike that I have. Learning things every day is great. :D Throttle depends on the control of your thumb but you can achieve gradual increments. PAS settings 1-3 are still on the low end.. Remember...

There are 9 Levels of assist giving you more options to choose how fast you would like to go. This might help get the best selection without consumer customization. If you are going downhill and reach 20 MPH the engine will cut out as the governor(hehe):p will prevent the motor from going...
