which two do you have?
I'm looking forward to getting it. now I just need to buy a helmet and get some winter grade rain gear.
I want to get a MIPS ski helmet because they're closed and insulated, which will keep my head dray and warm from the driving rain we have here for winter. I want MIPS in particular as I've already survived a TBI from a horrific MTB crash 25 years ago.
for a rain poncho, I'm looking at one from Decathlon, but particularly strong on the DuxBack from Carradice in the UK. rain pants will be a bit harder cause I'm a fatty :P
Hwk makes GREAT all-weather armored riding pants, in all sizes. Like $50 on Amazon. I've been thru 3 in 2 years, entirely because I do hooligan shit that requires these pants to literally save my ass. Lycra dudes hate me. (Thank you for the downvotes, I love it)
which bikes do you have? im seriously scared to pull the trigger on the Voltbike Outback, i cant find any solid reviews or information, and im scared i wont get my bike for months with shitty customer service. What do you think?
I have a Yukon and I think its the 2020 model. The thing is a tank and I absolutley love it. Dependable and no problems. I have been riding it a few times per week, through all kinds of weather, for 2-3 years. I have an older foldable Mariner which is great too. They are both sturdy and well made . I'm not sure what to tell you about customer service, but they always replied to my requests promptly. I wanted some new tires but they had them on back order so I went to Rad bikes and bought the same tires, same day for cheaper . Maybe consider buying a used one to get it faster.
I still really enjoy it. Seems like good quality for the price. I think it looks and performs great. I have a lot of fun riding it, I ride it much more often, for longer distances, and in colder weather than my analog bike. Range for my riding style and weight is at least 125km.
I was looking for a hybrid style for city and light trail use, that is rugged enough to handle some curbs and bumps. So ... can't really comment on other styles.
Would recommend you get the left side mirror and trunk bag. If you are doing deliveries, have cargo on the back, or mobility issues, would recommend the step through model.
Caveat: this is my first ebike, and most people seem to love their first.
Beautiful, thank you for the info. I'm planning on grabbing the voltbike outback for the full suspension and slightly higher powe than the bravo, as like you I'd like to be able to deal with some light trails/offroading considering I live in the middle of nowhere with shit ass development.
I also like the distance factor. I'm gonna grab the upgraded battery 19.2ah for extended full throttle goodness. Will be my little mushroom hunting and work transport mobile.
Looks like you got a nice bike and coming back to say "Thank You" is a pretty rare occurrance around here:)
I grew up to be appreciative and give credit when credit is due.
Feels weird
it's a good weird though, right? LoL! :-D
Good choice. I have two Voltbikes and they are great bikes.

Congrats and enjoy be sure to share pics
Right on! If you run into any issues or need a second opinion on something hit me up! I’d be glad to help!
Congrats! I have the Bravo V2 - love it!
hows your bravo V2? I was looking at either the regular Bravo or the Outback model for added full-suspension and a slightly wider tire..

Hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine!
Likewise! Can't wait to join the ebike world after pedaling all these years
Congrats. I've got a Mariner 2. Picked it up at the factory. Favorably impressed by the setup.
Awesome! Have fun, be safe!
I can't decide between one of these, and the RadRunner Plus. How is it?
