I was advised by my dealer to drain battery completely about every 3 months to enhance battery life. I got the battery down to 2%, but it almost refused to go any lower. Is that close enough for jazz?

Finally did the deed and bought the bike. I'm in total love. This decision will extend my bike life into my '80's. It is pure joy. I did note on the forum some asked why there are two sprockets on crank. After a couple hundred Kms, I have found little use for the smaller crank sprocket...

Yep, I got 10000 kms on mine and other than regular maintenance. nothing done. I suspect if you have an ebike you will even rack up more mileage. So probably I should get something that will hang together over time.

Thx so much for that solid insight. Also the comment as to why I went to a more expensive bike over big box. It became very obvious very quickly to the point that I wondered why I had not done this years ago. The Trek, Specialized, Kona, Giant people build Porsches. The big box guys build...

Right, no mobility progs so far. Also miscalulated on annual distance ridden. Try to ride 100 kms per week, which would total about 5000, rather than previously mentioned, so I need a bike that is not going to break down thru use. My Treks have been A1 when it comes to maintenance free biking...

Not Aussie, BC Canada. Trek Ebike about a grand more. Seems to be lots of pros and cons for choice of going to lower cost Spark/Volt Bike vs Trek/Specialized etc. I may have to actually make a decision here. I have ridden Giant and Trek, but not Volt Bike or Spark. Will actually ride one...

Thank u hulk. This is the kind of info that really helps. I believe spark and volt bike have many similarities. Am also considering conversi9n kit for my trek but they aint cheap and most come without a battery.

Thx once again. I have found this forum to be immensely helpful. I will take ur insight on some hub drives being worthy of consideration. I did take a giant mid drive out tho and was impressed. More complex for sure than hub.

I am impressed with the mid drives I have tried, but the cheaper bikes mostly come with hub drive. I am not wedded to either

WOW!!! I have learned much from all of your insights. The bike I have been looking at is a Volt Bike Enduro, sold out of Vancouver B.C. They are around $2000.00 Cdn. I am senior rider (79) and ride about 1500 kms per year, mostly street, some trail. As mentioned at the outset, I have ridden...

Thx for all the great counsel and advice. I did not get much opinion on the volt bike and the spark, two brands that I am looking at.

See im learning something already. Did not know 2 categories.

Am a senior cyclist riding a Trek Mamba Mtn Bike looking to extend my biking life. Learned a long time ago the value of elite bikes vs dept store wheels. In the long run, you pay for what you get. I am examining Volt Bike and Spark Bike and am amazed at the difference in price when you...
