not when claiming for damages

As suspected they said the dirt in the motor is my fault and happy to have it deal with by the courts. I would recommend not buying anything from volition. How can a motor seizing up from dirt riding on a bike path be my fault. What use is a bike if you can’t ride it on a bike path?! I will be...

Hi @Katty im Looking into these bikes https://stealthelectricbikes.com/ or going to a scooter https://ampdbros.com.au/products/nami-burn-e-viper-2-max-electric-hyper-scooter but feeling somewhat disillusioned at the moment with the whole thing, sigh. Surely there’s a better alternative to cars...

Well guess what in only 3 months if owing this Volition made Jet performance bike https://volitionebike.com/product/jet-electric-bike-bafang-australia/ the motor failed. I had to go to get the motor dismounted, sent 5000kms back to the shop, Volition just told me it’s full of dirt and it’s my...

This is what I’m planning to do, I can only do it sitting on top of the horizontal bar though, as there’s not enough room to fit it hanging down because it clashes with the existing mounted battery. Should be a good solution though I hope, or I have a bike trailer I can chuck anything in, but...

They make cars or used to that would last 20-30 years or more, you’re lucky if a bike lasts you a couple of years if you use it a lot.

Can anyone suggest the best rear gear hub to use for a bafang ultra?

Reading through a Rohloff issue thread perhaps, might need to reconsider, would like a higher range on my gear hub though, my alpine is adequate

I tried finding a hub myself online, with the shortage of bike parts world wide, that is also a challenge…… I want to get a rear wheel made with a rohloff 14 speed, I’m having my doubts anyone will make it for me locally, to get it made somewhere outside is is risky, as I need to make sure it...

I’m from a relatively small city, I wish I could find that place and I’ve had wheels made by ebike shops that also failed

I used to go through a chain and rear cassette every couple of months on my old ebike, that along with the rear spokes popping regularly, I was in the bike shop every other week. I used to think to myself this can’t be what ebiking is all about spending as much time in a shop as on the bike...

Also from my experience getting a wheel built for an ebike is next to impossible, normal bike shops and wheel builders don’t want to know about it

36 hole hubs are not easy to find in my experience

On my last custom ebike, which had a mid drive 1000w bbshd bafang on a subcross Scott with a second battery mounted on the rear rack I had 700cc wheels, I was braking spokes every week, it drove me crazy, until the motor burnt out and frame cracked on the seat post horizontal bar join, I gave up...

Thanks and you…..yes I’m hoping this will work and the bag won’t want to flip, as you can see the battery I propose carrying is quite large, I think it will work, it’s an elegant solution, the other option for me is to place it in my rear bags, but I’ve found that adds a lot of weight to the...

I’ve decided to go a spare battery from Caprouge in Australia who are about to release a 25amp dorado battery which rocks instead of dealing with Volition any further on this battery matter, as they’ve been so difficult and non responsive to deal with, like pulling teeth. Conversely Ben from...

Thanks for the great idea I’ve just purchased the Ortlieb Toptube frame pack to hopefully do the same thing. It’s a little more expensive than your beer bag but looks the job. I’ll need to invert this bag as well to sit on top of the horizontal bar as i have the same problem it won’t fit hanging...

Well ebike risk takers I took the plunge and purchased a Jet Performance Ebike from Volition https://volitionebike.com/product/jet-electric-bike-bafang-australia/ after doing a lot of research and they seemed to have the best fit for me. I’ve been riding it now for about 3 weeks, here’s my...

Ye those 25kmh speed bikes are great for going to the shop and back if your old

Ive seen these too, as you say, not many if at all reviews from buyers of these Volition bikes, if they were crap I’m sure more noise would be made about them, they’re not cheap, not super expensive either
