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

    It is nice to get this reassurance. I bought my Mariner about 3 years ago, and it too is still going strong (though with only about one-tenth the cumulative use of yours). Happy trails!

    How to adjust front and rear brakes on Volt Mariner 2018 model

    Here is an answer, a bit late. Voltbike's website has many helpful maintenance and repair videos -- https://www.voltbike.com/how-to-videos There is one on the brake system, which I have used myself for my 2017 Mariner.

    Volt mariner to drop off kid at school

    Whoa, that sounds dangerous. There is no back, and no foot pegs. Do not let a kid just sit and ride back there.

    Battery Range (Mariner)

    I will risk criticism by mentioning two obvious points. First, all batteries degenerate. It is the nature of the component, that its ability to take a charge and deliver it back goes down with every cycle. Second, the battery strength is not measured in miles. How you use your bike, on hills, in...

    Customize assist

    These settings in the software are often overlooked. And from comments I read, they seem to change depending on who is supplying various hardware and software to the bike manufacturers. But if you did not get paper documentation on the controller settings (I did with my 2017 Mariner), you can...

    Volt mariner to drop off kid at school

    The Mariner is not short. Although the rims are 20 inches, the fatter tires add several inches top and bottom. In fact, shorter riders complain they cannot easily stand with both feet on the ground. However, if you are asking about mounting a bike seat, I have no advice at all. I have seen...

    Voltbike Mariner Step Through Electrical Shock

    I feel your frustration. When my Mariner arrived 2 years ago, I had a wiring problem and I had to replace the controller. There is now a helpful video on VoltBike's site showing George replacing a controller. Basically, if you do it wire by wire, you can get through it. In my case, I actually...

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

    Cnugget, I am jealous. I have waited half a month for my Mariner to be delivered, and it finally arrived today. You have 5,000 km, and I have zero. I think this is a new model of Mariner. It has that fancy bell for the left thumb. The throttle is now a twist grip (just the final two inches...

    Radmini or Voltbike Mariner?

    Well, my Voltbike Mariner arrived (after some struggle with the shipper, who did not want to come down my street at first, but wanted me to meet him at an intersection a quarter-mile away). The box was banged up, but the inner packaging was very good and the bike had not a scratch. Here are...

    Radmini or Voltbike Mariner?

    OK, I had the big debate about which ebike to get -- Radmini or Voltbike Mariner. For me, Voltbike won. It was close, but I went for the suspension seat post and fenders (though I think I could have easily lined the bottom of Radmini's front and rear racks with milk jugs cut to shape as...
