    Never thought I would build an ebike..

    But after 4 yrs and 8,000+ km here we go. Just replaced my 14.5 Ah battery on my 2019 Voltbike Bravo with a 48 volt 25 Ah 21700 Samsung cells battery. Sunringle MTX 27.5" rim with 1248 watt motor and 26 amp controller is going in this weekend...

    Show us pictures of where you ride your ebikes!

    I have 7.000+ km km my Bravo & overall am still happy with the purchase. Other that normal replacement of tires & brake pads it has been fairly reliable. I did have to replace the planetary gears in the motor a couple of years ago, but that can be expected eventually on any hub motor. The only...

    Show us pictures of where you ride your ebikes!

    Nice 40 km ride in 7C weather yesterday. Pics include a log cabin built in 1875, a Sherman tank at Huron County Museum in Goderich ON & the shore's of Lake Huron. All the time I spent detailing my 2019 Voltbike Bravo was worth it. Two people I know asked when I bought a new bike...lol

    I'm curious...for those of you who leave your bike locked for an hour or more, do you remove the battery and take it with you?

    Once the thief gets the bike home, my guess is he will paint over the dayglow orange...

    DO the Cranks need to be so Short?

    Longer cranks also pose a problem off road on trails. I struck my pedal on a tree root on my Bravo. This caused my pedal to be stripped off the aluminum crank arm. If it wasn't for the throttle, it would have been a long walk home...

    Are you going to ride in snow?

    I rode my Bravo all last winter except for 4 or 5 days of extreme storms. Slow and careful while dressing warm is the key to enjoying riding year round. I have upgraded to wider tires with a more aggressive tread pattern this year...

    Throttle ? Yes or no ?

    When my peddle fell off a stripped crank arm 14 km away from home, I became a throttle fan instantly. I often use it on my 2 1/2 km ride to work in the morning as well these days....

    Revi bike Cheetah vs. Wicked Thumb McQueen 750

    I'd like to know if the battery is removable for charging indoors. I live in a 3rd floor apt and park my bike outside.

    Voltbike Bravo....1 year later review

    Well, 5000 km and 1 yr later, here are my thoughts. A great entry level mountain ebike. Solid on both road and trails. Only issues...a cadence sensor that quit and was covered by warranty. Stripped cranks which I replaced. DO NOT USE THE MULTI TOOL THAT COMES WITH THE BIKE TO INSTALL...

    E-Bikes suddenly everywhere ?

    I live in a small town of 8,000. Last summer I saw 2 ebikes. This summer at least a dozen.

    I rode my 1st mid drive today...

    Lot of features for a $2,799 CDN ebike. Suspension seat post, 11 speed, Panasonic 36V battery, hydraulic disk brakes, 250 watt mid drive motor, colour display. Had not heard of this Canadian company before but was impressed how much lighter the Blulans X5 mountain ebike was compared to my rear...

    CST BFT Tires

    After 1 year and 5,000 km it's time to replace the rear tire on my Voltbike Bravo. Stock tire was a Kenda 27.5 x 2.1. Switching to a more aggressive tread and slightly wider CST BFT 27.5 x 2.25. Great price point on this brand . https://www.csttires.com

    My First Real Crash.

    Glad you survived this major accident. Curious as to your age and whether you feel you were traveling too fast and just did not have enough reaction time.
