    Volt 4 Year Battery

    Volt 4 Year Battery

    Hi All My Volt Metro LS is now 4 years old. It has not done a lot of miles, as my commute is only 0.5 miles one way in the dry. Volt are saying that a 4 year old battery should be replaced, at a cost of £530 for a replacement (large size), as they are out of stock of the standard size and don't...

    Can anyone explain to me whey such a bike as the Volt Big Foot is for off road only? It has the same motor and controls as others in the Volt range. I cannot find anything on it relating to why it's off road only. Thanks for your replies!

    Brompton Electric Bike... Made by Brompton

    Hi Big G In Feb. & Dec 2017 I had both knees replaced. This May I had further knee surgery. It has not stopped me using my Volt. What did stop me was several spokes failing on the same rids. Had a total rim replacement and rebuild of the hub driven wheel. Back on the bike and it helps, with the...

    Spokes

    For a numpty To check the tension on a wheel (something, I have never done) at the nipple is it clock wise to tension, or anticlockwise? As I said above, wheel geometry is new to me. Woosh stated that he nips up wheels with a sixteenth of a turn?

    Spokes

    I don't understand spoke geometry. What I do understand, is if something is larger in diameter, surely it will be stronger. Looking at Sapim 12g or 13g ebike spokes have diameters of 2.3mm or 2.6mm. I am no Geraint Thomas, but from the same part of the country. Not looking for lightness, my ride...

Contacted supplying dealers, they contacted Volt. Basically I am too heavy for the bike, but there is...

    Brompton Electric Bike... Made by Brompton

    I don't want to upset anyone. 10 months ago when looking for a folder e bike, one dealer said don't buy a front wheel hub motor, not the best traction! So I took this on board after test riding a Brompton. I purchased a Volt Metro LS with XL battery. I have to artificial knees and it works for me!
