Finally ordered my Ebike today

My plan is to use the Voltbike to travel to work mainly as I can park it inside. The acoustic bike will still be used for shopping errands and whenever I need to leave my bike alone. Lot's of trails to explore with electric when I know I won't be leaving it alone. Unfortunately lots of bike thefts in my small town

I think I'm also younger than you. Even this week with the mileage I've ridden, I don't think I match your totals. You must be one of the highest mileage riders on this forum. I live in Burnaby so we should try to meet up for a ride sometime. I notice from the pictures thread there are a number of us from the lower mainland on this forum.

North or South Burnaby?
 
My bike is still not here. I find it a bit misleading on Voltbikes part to still advertise a 7-8 wait on orders. When I called on day 9 they told me they sent an email saying due to high demand it was currently a 10-14 wait now. I can live with that but update your website to reflect that. Starting to wonder if it will even arrive this week as the order still says processing. It is a 3 day truck ride from B.C. to Ontario

Sorry to hear about the delay . I see many voltbikes in my travels around here but that does you no good. Can you cancel your order? After all time is of the essence in any transaction and the summer is winding down. If so you could buy from stock at your lbs?
 
LBS carries no ebikes. I live in a town of 8,000. Starting to think I should have ordered from Amego in Toronto. Only thing was they were only taking pre orders for a similar model to the one I ordered from Voltbike.

I would maybe cancel and choose from Amegos instore stock ( the Infinite has similar specs to the Bravo) and have them ship it out tomorrow because I am impatient. But If you can wait I am sure you will like the Voltbike.

The Infinite was actually on my short list but was out of stock when I ordered my Bravo. Just hoping it shows up by the end of this week.
 
Bike is still not here. Really disappointed with Voltbikes customer service. Won't be recommending them to anyone at this point. Going to try to cancel the order on Monday...
 
@erider_61 considering you carefully researched this purchase for 10 months, I'd suggest waiting another week or two or three. You obviously are blessed with patience to some degree. Good luck and sorry for your disappointment. Even anticipation of 6-7 day shipment of an in-stock bike can be tough. Remember when you were a kid anticipating a birthday or Christmas gift? It was difficult then too. Good luck!
 
Well I got an email yesterday that my bike was shipped. ETA is Aug. 27. One full month after I ordered.

And at least one from just a bit south on the Salish Sea (in Bellingham)

I am planning on heading to Bellingham to mountain bike with my son, I hear the trails in Bellingham are amazing. Of course for that ride I'll be riding my MTB and not my electric. Do you have any favourite places to eat that you would recommend?

OP, glad to hear your bike is finally going to arrive soon. A long wait is annoying when it is prime riding season.

We have lots of local brew pubs, seafood joints and many diverse excellent ethnic cuisines. What type do you favor?
 
Anthony's home port is very good seafood. Deanna's for best Italian. Filling Station best burger. Stone's Throw is a great little brew garden with rotating food trucks closest to Blanchard Mt. Aslan has the best variety of beers and good food. Twin Sisters has good beer great outdoor and indoor space and decent food. Wanida is our best Thai. Mikonos is best Greek.

Be sure to let us know how you like your bike! This post grabbed my attention as I'm about to purchase my first ebike and Volt Yukon 750 Limited WAS in my top 3 picks. Now i'm wondering about their customer service :oops:. Let us know what you think of the bike! And congratulations I'm sure you'll love it despite that wait.
