| 3.
How far can I go on a single charge? |
|
This
all depends on weight ratio, terrain and few other important
factors (Inclines and Declines) We will have detailed
information posted shortly. Our Street Cruiser Series
ebikes are rated for 40km to 55km in range on a
single full charge depending on model.
|
| Our
Incline Series ebikes are rated for up to 60km to
120km in range on a single full charge depending on
model. |
| |
| 4.
How do I charge my battery and how much does it cost? |
| Charging
your Volt Canada e-Bike is done with your included DC Charger.
Simply plug in your charger to the charging plug on the
ebike and then plugging the DC charger into your 120v AC
power outlet. Make sure you use the charging system that
came with your ebike. Never mix chargers with different
ebikes. |
| |
| 5.
How long does it take to charge my battery? |
| With
a completely depleted battery it will take about 6-8 hrs
for 12v 14ah packs of charging time, and 10-12 hrs for 12v
20ah packs of charging time. The cost per charge is around
$0.12 for every full charge. |
| |
| 6.
How long will my battery last? |
|
The
life of Lead Acid batteries is around 3-5 yrs or 300 to
500 charges. This all depends on how you store your battery
when not in use and how often you charge the battery packs.
We recommend storing batteries in a warm room temperature
enviroment during off seasons or not in use. Never let
your battery packs freeze during winter storage!

What is the difference between Volt Canada's 48v ebikes
to the 60v ebikes? |
| More
voltage equals more torque, Battery amps equals your range
and motor size equals power. These are the basic equations
for brushless electric drive ebikes. Having our 60 volt
incline series gives us the hill climbing torque we were
looking for. More voltage also means longer range due to
less energy needed to propel your ebike. |
| |
| 8.
Whats the difference between Volt Canada's Lead Acid and
Lithium e-bike models? |
|
The
biggest difference is the weight, lithium batteries are
almost half the weight of lead acid batteries. Power to
weight ratio is an important factor when it comes to electric
drive systems. Less weight more torque and power.
Lithium
batteies also give FULL power during the entire use of
it cycle until to the point of low voltage cut-off.
Lead
acid batteries will slowly decrease battery power during
use decreasing power as the battery level becomes lower
until low voltage cut-off.

Can I ride my Volt Canada ebike in the winter? |
|
This
is a question we get all the time and the answer is simple.
No we do not recommend riding your ebike during the winter
seasons for a few reasons.
- It
is very unsafe with slippery terrain and icy road conditions.
- Freezing
of battery pack may may occur causing damage to batteries.
- Electronics
can be damaged if exposed to extreme cold weather conditions
from ice build up and condensation.
- Corrossion
is excelerated from salt and sand

What is the difference between the Incline Series and the
Street Cruiser Series ebikes? |
- Incline
Series ebikes 48v or 60v are equipped with 20ah
battery packs and a 500watt continuous motor. Our 48v
Incline Series comes with our 600watt smart controller,
and our 60v Incline Series comes with our 800watt smart
controller. You also have the option to go with Lithium
battery with our 60v Incline Series.
- Street
Cruiser ebikes come in a 48v 14ah battery packs
with a 500watt peek motor and 500watt smart controller.

| 12.
What is the difference between a 500watt peek motor and
a 500watt continuous motor? |
- 500watt
continuous motor will run 500watts continuously
and peek to 800watts during inclines.
- 500watt
peek motor will run 350watts continuously and peek
to 500watts during inclines.
|
| |
| 13.
What is the Anti Theft Automatic Motor Lockout feature? |
| Some
of our Volt Canada's electric scooters are equipped with
this feature. When alarm is enabled and triggered, the motor
(Rear Wheel) will lockout and vibrate preventing anyone
from moving the ebike. |
| |
| 14.
What is Pedal Assist? |
| Some
of Volt Canada's ebikes (Incline Series) use smart controllers
that will detact when a rider starts to pedal and assist
you with automatic power without the use of throttle control.
Pedal Assist enables a rider to use pedals regardless the
size of the ebike. |
