Mariner V2

Totally enjoying our new electric bikes, smooth riding all around. Great service from VoltBike

Very fun and easy to ride, haven’t had the bike for very long so my review is my initial reaction. The only draw back is its weight, but that is very common for electric bikes in general. I will review again after I have used it for a few months.

We ordered two Volt Mariner V2s during the Black Friday sale. They arrived here in Calgary a few days later in perfect condition; love how the bikes are shipped largely assembled with all the accessories we ordered already installed and tested!! Fantastic! Most companies would just throw the purchases (extra bright headlights, comfort seats, suspension seat posts, front racks, etc) in the box for you to figure out! It’s still snowy here so haven’t put many kilometres on the bikes yet but have ridden them a bit. Extremely happy with the purchase! Great value for money.

After 21 motorcycles and on 2nd Spyder. This in my estimation is an Electric Scooter. The pedalling can only be done using speed 7 and 6. After that pedal speed is 2 fast for Senior movement. So around neighbourhood and local trail it is 7 or six and power level 1 unless encountering grades. Seat height and tip back plus bar height has finally been set close to perfect. I will have to get extra paddding for the wide seat. The pedal crank position is further aft than a normal bike so I find myself providing assistance with the heel area - more so than the instep.The handlebar mirror(left side) does not project out far enough to easily pick up traffic. The end mounts were not selected due to door widths and rip overs. So far I have traveled 40 miles. An am looking forward to taking it and myself (Free) on the Quadra Ferry and out to Herriot Bay Pub for a pint. I would suggest that the inboard mount mirror have a tube ensign that can be extended outward several inches. Far 2 many cyclist being run over ( Law Enforcement Background). All in all it was a wise choice. If the after market seat tube with the shock absorber had a rear angle worked it - so to move the driver aft for a better pedal position - this would be a boon. Find it a little difficult to get into the Screen Menu ? But have the wheel size set up now. A upgrade you could think about is Aluminum box’s to fit on the stern and bow racks?? 6 Inches walls with attachment points and tie downs. And you Logo on both ends.OK this 80 year old has to get out to my gym in the shop. Great service and very good product packing. Had to phone company to get tracking - driver had missed in the am, but came back later in the day for a quick drop off.Assembly easy.Love the CLR. Ken Campbell River.

Love my new Mariner V2, so happy I bought an electric, Where I live in Coquitlam there are hills which kept me home, now I don’t even think twice , With both assist and throttle it’s a breeze….if your on the fence about it…. Get off you’ll be happy you did !!
