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

    Interesting that you should raise the issue of tire pressure, Ashley64. I was chatting with one of the lads in a local bikeshop (Lethbridge AB) about finding a longer seat post with a built in shock absorber, as I had to swap the one that came with the bike for a longer (but non-absorbing) one...

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

    Thanks, Voltbike. I just received my new Voltbike, and I didn't know about this...but yes, it's there. One of the reasons I bought a Voltbike Mariner in the first place is because the company seemed to be continually updating and upgrading their products in accordance with customer feedback. I...

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

    It has been some time since I've posted here. The reason is that I had some issues with my Voltbike Mariner. I'm not certain to this day what caused them, but they involved several aspects of the bike - the screen, the controller, the motor...who knows. With the help and guidance of George from...

    New Voltbike Elegant Step-through 26"x2.1"

    I bought a Mariner. It's a fun bike, and I love riding it. It's more versatile than the Elegant, perhaps, because of the fat tires and foldability.

    Voltbike mariner limited 500w

    Hi, Mariner owners...I could use some help. The screen/controller on my Mariner stopped showing speed and distance a few weeks ago, though everything else seemed to function. I emailed Voltbike, and George sent me a new controller, which I've installed. Same problem. Has anyone had this issue...

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

    Hi, Voltbike owners...the controller on my Mariner no longer functions properly. The PAS works just fine, but it no longer shows my speed, or the distance travelled. I'm wondering if there is some way to reset the controller, or whether it needs to be replaced. I have about 450 km. on the bike...

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

    I think I did read that somewhere, before I actually got my bike. It does make sense now that I am actually riding it, as I've almost run into the back of cars and my garage door, forgetting about the boost. I assume I have to alter one of the codes...is it an easy adjustment? Thanks again.

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

    @Cnugget...I'm new to my bike. I was at a stoplight, and was in PAS5 because I was bucking a 70 km wind. No problem doing that, but when the light turned green, I did a wheelie! I'll remember to turn the PAS down to a lower level in future...I hope.

    New Voltbike Elegant Step-through 26"x2.1"

    Elegant in appearance, to my eye at least. I look forward to seeing the final version. For the record, Voltbike made several upgrades to the Mariner that I just bought, I think in response to comments made in this forum - a neoprene protector for the lower stay (not sure of the formal term), a...

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

    Hi, everyone...I've had my Mariner for just over a week. My first (short) ride took place in 8 inches of snow, but that's all gone now and I've had some good longer rides, in and out of the coulees, since. I like many things about this bike, but the biggest factor so far is that I no longer have...
