Still waiti g for the remai ing parts
Bag is made of quality materials but having the lateral Velcro straps both on right side of bag isn’t good. The left side doesn’t hold well and bag flops around.
The two different levels for attaching the Paniers is nice as it allows a top bag to not interfere with Paniers.
Joe was personable, very helpful and knowledgeable when trying test and decide which bike to buy. Atta was lovely at checkout and helped make the whole experience for me, my wife and our little 1.5 year old girl more enjoyable.
Ordered and received new gears within a week put them in myself after watching the excellent video instructions bikes running great thanks voltbike
Overall amazing, I purchased the bikes to commute and for trail riding, not hardcore but green rated or double track and gravel roads.
Comfort- very good. Build quality-very good. Range-very good, so far😉
Details
My commute- 14 km one way, elevation change 400ft. 330ft one shot uphill on the way home. Pedal assist only, no issues, except maybe my old age. Ha! I use level 9 and maintain 21to 25km/hr.
The hydraulic brakes work well as they should as I go down that hill I mentioned every morning. They do squeak a bit when applied hard but I expect that as they get worn in. The shifting components are good, though vague when downshifting, sometimes having to activate twice before gear change, but this could be because initial chain stretch or a slight adjustment required in the derailleur (?sp.). The fat tires with puncture resistance are proving their worth as road shoulders are not swept yet and full of who knows what besides winter road gravel. They have also worked well on snow and mud.
Headlight and tail/brake light awesome. I have had been told there is a noise with the motor but I haven’t noticed it myself.
The power assist mode is awesome and makes hills like the one I described a piece of cake, just pedal, the motor does the rest. I can’t speak to the pure throttle mode yet as I haven’t used it but the mechanism is tight and well built.
Range
Like I mentioned I have only ever used pedal assist and not the throttle mode so take these numbers as a statement in relation to the above. 64 km varied terrain, long hills, (3), pavement and dirt trails, the battery went from 55.5 to 47.3 down one bar.
Overall great bike, would buy another one in a heartbeat. But probably won’t have to for quite a while.😊
The only thing is that I wish Volt Bike would have a in-depth maintenance manual for the bike as I’m going to be putting over a 100km per week on the Yukon. Not just the online videos as most places I don’t carry a smart device.

New Disc Brake Install went smoothly and the original Yukon 750 with over 2000 kms and annoying the squealing brakes are thankfully gone.
Bought this bike for my wife and she absolutely loves it , I originally had bought the Yukon 750 but it was a bit to big for my wife so I decided to keep it , they are both excellent e bikes and would highly recommend, on the larger batteries we went for a 50km ride up and down hills and still had over 60% battery left
Screen and button set are a great replacement for the original one. Nice bright display and more durable buttons. Would be nice to have an updated manual available online.
Stand is looking great and is better than original! great service, arrived ahead of schedule. pricey
Good morn, just wanted to let folks know that these helmets are excellent. They are very similar to the helmets i wore when i was riding my Harley. They are light but much more safe than a regular bicycle helmet. You don’t have the air holes but i haven’t missed them. The helmet is easy to put on and take off thanks to the quick release latch. My wife admired mine so much she got one as well. If you are getting a bike and don’t have a helmet yet (or even if you already have a helmet), get one of these, you won’t be disappointed.
Sorry we ordered the wrong type of bike thank you for your assistance on returning the VoltBike back to you.
My wife and I (in our late 70s) purchased 2 of the Urbans new Aug 3/2023. Shipping times were as promised, minimal assembly a cake walk, (more time spent cutting up and disposing of the cardboard then on the assembly). We purchased these bikes for the ability to fold and transport in a smaller vehicle. We put on a bit over 1K kms before we left for warmer climes on first of Oct.
Pros:
Well built. Especially the hinge system.
Folding is simple . Both fit easily in a little Ford Focus with lots of room left for carry on size luggage.
Very user friendly & intuitive dashboard.
Having ridden motorcycles most of our lives, the half twist throttle was a welcome feature. Works great, especially when facing uphill and taking off on a green light and without pedalling. Very peppy.
Cons:
High speed on the Freewheel Cassette has 14 teeth and combined with the 52 tooth crankset creates a result (because of the small wheels) that at 25 kph you are maxed out and spinning like a hamster on a treadmill. Now at our age, we bought these for exercise not so much for speed BUT it means that when riding with friends on standard size bikes we have to use the throttle a lot.
That is our only serious beef, but just a note that the 20" wheel size is a bit more twitchy than found on a bike with the standard 26" wheel.
It's only been a week however I love my Volt Elegant e-bike. The shipping was very efficient and it was very easy to assemble. Absolutely no complaints at this time
Overall, it's a nice bike. It's basically everything that I need. The instructions to put the handlebars on leave a lot to be desired, though. I had to Facetime one of Volt's staff to put them on because the instructions provided didn't have any guidance on the handlebar installation, which was relatively complicated. However, the service/tech person was great to deal with, accommodating and very patient in working through the problem. Good customer service overall.
My wife and I purchased 2 Yukon 750’s. One of each style. Came fairly quickly, assembly was basic and easy. We are very pleased we purchased. We have been using pretty much daily and seeing parts of the city and trails I never knew existed. So much so my adult son decided to buy one this week. One thing I will add for the bigger guys… I was sceptical about feeling unsafe on any peddle bike @ 6’ 3” 300 ish but pleasantly surprised I feel safe on the Yukon. The bike is big and it’s comfortable enough I enjoy the ride and getting out there moving and elevating the heart rate with little assistance (levels 1-3) but knowing more is available when needed. The reason we went with volt bike is my friend is on his second in 5 years passing on the other that is still going strong and speaks highly of the product!
