    Bicycle Sports Pacific Vancouver

    I been going to a number of bike ships the last week and most of the young people were as your stated but one shop had a young lady who was very knowledgeable. Exceptional young people are luckier these days, less competition.

    They keep their jobs because there is massive labour shortage these days. Aging population, people retiring, plus many young people don’t move out when they are 20 years old or so anymore, so they don’t have to pay bills and don’t care about having a job.

    YUKON 750 LIMITED Frame size 17 for 5'4 Riders ?

    I just got a Yukon a couple of weeks ago and my wife got a Rad Mini because there were no Mariners in stock. I really enjoy my Yukon but will probably sell it in a few years and buy a Mariner. It just seems more maneuverable, easier to handle, folds up easy for transport, easy to store, can go...

    YUKON 750 LIMITED Frame size 17 for 5'4 Riders ?

    Depends on you inseam. I am 5’9 with a 30 inseam I have about 2 inches to spare. So a 28 inseam would just make it. A smaller inseam would fit on the seat but you but you would not be able to dismount by jumping forward . If you are agile you could do a side mount and dismount by pushing off...

    How many gears do you really need & use?

    On my old mechanical 21 speed I only used about 7 gears. I am old school and use the standing up method for natural low gears using your weight to pedal up steep hills. On my E bike I only use the highest gear 90% of the time on flats and slight inclines and may gear down a bit on steep hills...

    Rad Rover vs Volt Yukon 750 ( 2021)

    I just wanted to update. From my research I stated Rad Power is a much bigger company with better customer support. I picked up my Volt Yukon a week ago and I had a Rad Mini delivered 5 days ago for my wife. I had very minor issues with both bikes which I resolved. I contacted Rad support 5 days...

    Thanks Charger is slightly different. Has Volt written on the side. I got the bike yesterday at Volt and rode about 22 kilometres home. I had two bars on the battery left afterwards , so I plugged it in today. The fan ran for about 6 hours and turned off with the red light still on. After a...

    Charging question?

    I just got my new Volt Yukon Bike yesterday with a 19 amp battery. I plugged it in to charge today. After about 7 hours the charger turned off but the light on the charger was still red. I thought when the battery reached a full charge the charger turned green? Does the charger automatically...

    Best source for Yukon 750 after market parts

    Thanks I did know Amazon had tubes and tires. I saw a video of that green slime. Does not make a tire hard to get off?

    Best source for Yukon 750 after market parts

    Thanks a lot. I am picking up the bike next week but want to buy tubes and tires ASAP, even if they sit in the garage for 2 years. These days getting parts quickly can be a challenge.

    How Do I Make The Yukon 2018 Voltbike faster?

    Any long term effects after upgrade, more wear in motor, running hot etc. I read you should only use occasionally with throttle for short power boost? Thanks

    Best source for Yukon 750 after market parts

    I just bought a Volt Yukon today. Salesperson at Volt told me it’s faster to buy replacement parts like tubes and tires from other sources. Where is the best place to buy the fat tubes and tires? Or other parts after warranty ends? Thanks

    Volt Yukon 750 Limited Soon Vs. Rize X in 4-6 Months?

    I asked a volt salesperson today about battery weight, 17.2 ah adds 1/2 lb. 70 lbs or 70.5 lbs does not seem like a factor.

    Rad Rover vs Volt Yukon 750 ( 2021)

    Yeah after going online last night and checking both sites and seeing the Yukon 750 could be 4 to 6 weeks out, I reluctantly went to the Radcity website and filled in the order form for the Rover. All this research is making me road crazy. I can’t wait six weeks for the bike I prefer. I want to...

    Rad Rover vs Volt Yukon 750 ( 2021)

    I went for a test ride on the Volt Yukon 750 today after testing the Rad Rover last week. The ride was basically the same but the 9 levels of pedal assist seemed better on the Yukon than the 5 levels on the Rad Rover. The Yukon has a pre installed high quality rear rack. For the Rover the rack...
