    Customized Voltbikes

    Not sure why the description has Li-polymer instead of Li-ion. Pack is designed to use Panasonic’s GA or LG MJ1 18650 cells.

    Customized Voltbikes

    Thanks! I did some FEA on removing the material and the deflection was okay and there was no cross section yielding so all is good. I went with 48v since it has higher energy in the same form factor as the 52v, 1008Wh vs 910Wh. Marginal but $/Wh was better for 48v, $0.72 vs $0.77 and gave me the...

    How Do I Make The Yukon 2018 Voltbike faster?

    I have a 2017 Yukon Limited and had to swap out the power electronics for Grin’s phaserunner and CA3 computer to go faster. Worth every penny if you want full control and to push the limits of the motor. I just recently swapped out the original 10Ah battery for a 21Ah battery with 40A continuous...

    Customized Voltbikes

    Haven’t posted on here in a while but I recently upgraded my Yukon Limited (2017 model) 10Ah battery to a 21Ah battery from EBike Marketplace. The 21Ah Dorado Max is 505mm long versus the stock 10Ah Dorado Plus 440mm so I had to modify the bike a little. I plan to go for a distance ride soon...

    Customized Voltbikes

    @PCDoctorUSA The Supercells have been awesome! No flats since I swapped to them and went tubeless. Ride is super quiet compared to the Juggernauts.

    Customized Voltbikes

    Consolidating this post from another one I made! I recently swapped out the nubby stock Juggernauts for Origin8 Supercell tires. Talk about a huge difference! My ride is so much smoother and quite. I also converted the wheels to tubeless and have not looked back. Here are a few pics: Origin8...

    Customized Voltbikes

    I looked at Osprey as well when I thought about going with a back pack instead of a pannier. I do feel a little more "nimble" with a back pack instead of a pannier but my back had a lot to say about that after a few round trips. I have over 1k miles with my garment pannier and could not be...

    Customized Voltbikes

    I am really happy with the garment pannier. Besides keeping my clothes somewhat presentable when I take them out it has a padded laptop section inside that is pretty well protected from moisture. It comes with a rain cover but never had to use it since rainfall is pretty unusual where I live...

    Any Yukon Commuters?

    That's the thought, whether that turns out to be true I'll eventually find out. The 30TPI Juggernauts on the Yukon are a bear to remove. I have the process down now but I break a tire lever every time I had to remove the tires on the Yukon. I have been checking tire for punctures and have not...

    Any Yukon Commuters?

    They are 30TPI Thanks for checking out the post. I only have 125 miles on the Origin8 Supercell tires but so far but no punctures yet.. I have had 5 flats on my rear wheel in the past 4 months so this last flat I decided to go tubeless. I am still messing around with the PSI setting, but right...

    Any Yukon Commuters?

    @PCDoctorUSA I commute with my Yukon and love it. Granted, I have changed a lot on my ebike, I recently swapped out the nubby stock Juggernauts for Origin8 Supercell tires. Talk about a huge difference! My ride is so much smoother and quite. I also converted the wheels to tubeless and have not...

    @AguassissiM Thanks! Sharing is caring ;) I’ll look out for your upgrades when that time comes.

    Customized Voltbikes

    After some calculations and measurements, I discovered that I could swap out my 42T chainring with a 46T chainring and still have plenty of clearance to the chainstay. I also opted to remove the bashguard and add a Problem Solvers Chain Spy 2 and Direct Mount Adapter to prevent the chain from...

    New Voltbike Yukon 750 spotted

    In case anyone is interested, the late 2016 Yukon 750 Limited (November 2016 specifically) used a 42T front chainring. I noticed on the Voltbike's website that the current Yukon 750 Limited ships with a 44T front chainring. After some calculations and measurements, I discovered that I could swap...

    Hey @Court, love the site! Thanks for everything you do. You helped me decide to purchase a Voltbike Yukon 750 Ltd. I made a few mods that can be found in post #114130. If you are ever in the Bay Area & want to check it out for a customized review segment, let me know. With the CA3 display & new...

    Customized Voltbikes

    Ha, kind of hard to miss the dents in the front fender @rich c . I didn't feel like going through the hassle of sending them back to Voltbike since they would not fit properly so I was a little rough on them with vice grips :D I like to think it adds some "character" to the bike. I agree that...

    Customized Voltbikes

    Here are some pics! Some of my mods are replaced APT LCD display with Cycle Analyst (CA3-DP), replaced stock controller with Phaserunner by Grin Technologies (Dimensions 99mm x 40mm x 34mm), DNP 7spd 11-30 Freewheel (11T helps with the higher speeds I can go now), potentiometer (assigned to...

    Customized Voltbikes

    Hey everyone! Felt like blogging so I decided to start a thread to see if anyone else has customized their Voltbikes. I have late 2016 model Yukon Limited and made some (what I consider) upgrades. Check them out below and feel free to post your own!

    Removing Rear Tire on Yukon 750

    Hey Rusty, not sure if this is a good thing but I am pretty seasoned now on removing the rear tire from the frame (lots of practice from flats). I have had this same issue and found that rocking the wheel from side to side a few times did the trick. The rear mount on the disc side seems to be a...
