    Fuse before or after on/off switch?

    Hi everyone, as I'm trying to put my new 10s4p pack of 18650 in the same solid box of my bike, I'm adapting the connections to the previous ones. You'll find the attachment picture where I outlined all the connections (batteries, bms, etc.) My only double at the moment is about where to have...

    What Bottom Bracket for Volt Savile?

    Hi everyone, the story of the issues for my Volt Savile is too long for one single post...but...for now, I'd need to replace the bottom bracket. Volt Bikes is not answering at all (worst customer experience ever), a dealer/service listed by them in my area is not answering at all as well (lucky...
