As fat bikes become more and more popular, the question of how to carry your plus tire size bike around becomes more crucial. Based on our personal and customers experience we do have a selection which we could recommend. Thule T2 Pro XTR is a good option for carrying your fat bike around. Ideal for eBikes and fat bikes as it fits 20 - 29” wheels and up to 5” tires without adapters. This model also works for our narrower tire models as well, making it the default choice for recommended racks. You can check the available Thule rack at the link below: https://voltbike.com/collections/vehicle-racks

No. Our bikes are tested in the rain whenever it is raining in Vancouver on a week day (so roughly half the year) and they handle the water just fine. It is important not to store it where it will be rained on, or as one customer learned, submerged in water.

We do offer test rides at our Port Coquitlam, BC, Canada location. Test rides are available between Monday-Friday 9am to 5pm and Saturday between 10am and 3pm. Most of the VoltBike models are available for test ride.The safety of our customers is our top priority. Wearing an approved helmet during test rides is mandatory. You can either bring your own helmet or you can use one of the VoltBike approved helmets available in the showroom. If you have never been on electric bike before then it's important to get yourself familiar with the operation of the electric bike. You can watch some of the videos available on our video section here. You can also check our Help Center section with many frequently asked questions. Our showroom staff is also available for you in case you have questions prior or after your test ride.

There are a few different possibilities for your payment not processing. Most times you will need to give your credit card company a call to let them know that you are trying to place this order. The transaction is usually a high amount and sometimes this gets flagged as unusual activity on your card and blocked from going through. A call to your credit card company usually will clear this up. Another reason could be that you have incorrectly inputted your card number, expiry date or CVV number on the back. Please ensure that everything is correct and you have called your credit card company before calling us as we will likely get the same result.

We at Voltbike appreciate and support our customers and want everyone to enjoy their Voltbikes for years to come.

We offer a few different channels of support such as:

Email: sales@voltbike.com

Definitely the quickest and best way to get any problem solved. Email us with photos or videos of any issue in question. This is the best way to contact us because if we speak with you over the phone most likely we will ask you to email us with photos regardless. 

This is very helpful because this way there is also a paper trail and anyone picking up phones can refer back to it, whereas a phonecall is between you and the rep who is sometimes walking around the warehouse and unable to record the details of your issue.

Technical telephone line: 1-800-350-4840 (Dial 2)

Call us business hours Mon-Sat and select 2 for technical support. 

Support Ticket:  If you would rather fill out a form, we have a new ticketing system. 

Bear with us as this is not the fastest way to get through to a representative. Depending on the seriousness of each case, emailing or calling is a more direct way to get a response.

The bike you may get will have all those small upgrades our customers care about.Every VoltBike is equipped with features which are extra compared to many other electric bikes on the market. VoltBike comes with headlights and rear lights connected to the main battery, fenders, a rear rack, neoprene chainstay protector, derailleur guard, an adjustable stem and many other advanced features.In addition, each VoltBike is inspected, tested and adjusted prior to leaving our distribution centers.

The short answer is: no, you do not. According to federal law, a bicycle with an electric motor capable of generating up to 500 watts of power (or 750 watts for USA) are able to propel a rider to a speed of up to 20 mph, equipped with fully functioning power assist pedals, is considered to be a bicycle or a consumer good rather than a motor vehicle. Most provinces in Canada allow riders 14 or 16 years and up to drive power assisted electric bikes. Over 18 years of age do not require any kind of license whatsoever. Please check your local regulations for further inquiries.

Our business model is direct to consumer. This means that we skip the traditional style distribution through bike shops and dealerships. We deliver the bike directly to you, skipping the middle man and passing the savings to the end customer. On top of getting a better price, the end consumer also benefits from dealing with only one company which is much easier.

In Vancouver, BC the cost per kWh varies on the time period. A good, round number that is close to the average is 8.91 cents per kWh. A rough average for an electric bike is 36 volts and about 10 Amp-Hours. To calculate the Kilowatt-hours (kWh) of your electric bike, simply multiply those two numbers together and divide by 1000. This means that it takes about 0.36 kW to charge an electric bike for one hour. In most cases, an electric bike will need to charge for about 4 to 5 hours, so let's say the total consumption for a complete charge cycle is: 5 x 0.36 = 1.8 kWh. So this means it will cost you $0.16 to charge your bike in Vancouver, BC.
