I am considering taking up Ebike Touring in the south east U.S. I am 59 years old in decent shape. I currently own a 2018 Voltbike Yukon 750 Limited I purchased new. I find it comfortable to ride and stable. I am also considering a cargo bike for this due to their carrying capacity. I really...

if you have 20 inch wheels and frames try a reverse trike design. you may need to do some welding to the frames and use a hub motor kit to power the back wheel. Another option is the bike they used before they built not a wheelchair. The welded two seperate bikes togeth side by side and used...

A New York state trooper told me this. The state DMV says E bikes are illegal. The courts will not enforce this because if they pull E bikes over they will have to charge everyone using hover rounds, E scooters and little kids using barbie cars on the side walk. The troopers don't want to be...

Had my Yukon 750 lt for a year and never had a problem with hills. You might be stuck on the 500 limit. Ask George at Volt Bike about your settings.

George sends helmets with all volt bikes. I wear mine every time I go out for the simple reason an E bike goes a lot faster.

I have a fat bike with a hub motor and I get more noise from the tires then the motor. Even with the tire noise it is still pretty quite.

A little more information would be helpful. What is the climate in your area? What is the condition of the roads? Rough roads mean you would want something that will smothe out the ride a little, fat tires or full suspension. Bad weather riding will decide your choice of also. Biking in...

I have ridden in temps as cold as 0 f and not had a problem with the battery flat-lining. I keep my rides short and not let the battery stay out in the cold longer then I have to. If I go in for more then ten min. the battery comes with me. I also never let the batter go below two bars. At...

Sorry to hear about your accident. One thing I have noticed with my fat bike is I don't think I can go over the handlebars just using the front brake. I have a volt bike 750 Yukon with hydraulic brakes, my rear end on the bike is so heavy it has not been an issue. I have tried slamming on the...

Looks ugly at best. My question is how does it turn with that short of a wheel base?

Just did a short ride home from work at +7f wind chill was negotive obscenity. Thank God I am only like a mile or so from home. My Yukon 750 from volt has given me no trouble so far.

Everyone's situation is different, Indianajo's calculations and situation aside look at it this way. How many miles would you drive in a week. What is the year round weather where you are. I live in far North East New York where winter can last from early Nov. to late April so my needs may be...

Bob, it is all good. I got my first E-bike this year for under 2 grand and have ridden over 500 miles on it with no problems. I am running it stock and love it. The only things I have added are a gel seat cover and saddle bags. You don't need to spend 5k on a bike to get use out of it, just do...

I read this and went WTF. I got the picture of a marauding gang of seniors racing down a bike path running oldbike riders off of the trail. Next we will be accused of killing the people we run off of the trails. I think the author needs to get a grip and learn about us before trying to throw...

Tough question for a newbie, I own both a Volt bike Yukon and Elegant (one is my wife's) since Aug. of this year. Give the Yukon a step through frame and a gear-less motor of maybe a 1,000 watts. larger battery for better range beyond that I am good.

Where I am E-bikes are still very rare, there are maybe less then a dozen in town. So the only thing I get is questions on how it works and where did i get this wonderful thing. It is a fat bike so it draws attention where ever I go, so I am not flying under anyone's radar. Mostly I get stares...

A fellow with a 2 stroke converted bike used to ride past my house. I could hear the bike from blocks away and it seemed slower then my Volt bike. The local police shut Him down not under any traffic law but under Plattsburgh's noise ordnance. Now my E-bike gets nothing but positive attention...

I thought the charger for the Yukon went belly up I E-mailed Volt and received two E-mails back, one from George the owner. Of course as soon as I E-mailed them the charger began working again and has never given me any trouble since. I even got a thank you E-mail after I told them the problem...

I have never had a issue getting Volt on the phone or answering my E-mails. I purchased a Yukon 750lt and an Elegant for my Wife. Took delivery at the beginning of Aug. and any issue I have had has been handled in a timely manner.

One thing I have noticed in New York state is that the police and judges will not bother E-Bikers. It is our DMV that is pushing to keep E-bikes off the street. They seem to be the only ones that are saying anything. If I am wrong please correct me on this. They did it with the segway and now...
