    Freewheel / cassette sticking

    Hi, I’m having intermittent problems with the freewheel / cassette (not sure which I have at the moment) on my volt pulse (done 1100 miles). Every now and then is becomes ‘free’ in both forward and backward directions so there is no forward drive. This seems to fix itself after a few pedal...

    Insurance for e-bikes

    +1 for that. The AXA policy does not specifically state that e bikes are covered (I'm also with AXA). I emailed them and asked the question to which I had a reply saying yes they are covered. Keeping that email safe in case it's ever needed later !! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Alpino - 6mph problem

    Do you have the manual for the LCD display. Without knowing the exact LCD you have apparently holding down the 'set' and 'down' buttons together may show any error codes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Overweight and looking for what to buy.

    Don't know if others will agree but you may be better starting with high assistance on your early rides and then lowering it as your fitness improves. If you feel you are not getting any exercise then lower the assist a bit. You can't get fit overnight and trying to use the lower settings may be...

    Battery and LCD mismatch

    Had another look and the only speed reference I can find is set at 40km/h which is the maximum value allowed. So you are probably correct about it being locked in the controller. The bike will actually do 18.5 mph before the power assistance drops off completely so slightly above the legal limit...

    Battery and LCD mismatch

    Haven't had a good look around yet but as far as I can tell all settings are available. What would I be looking for as far as speed? I seem to recall a value of max speed set at 40 (possibly km/h). Although the bike wont go that fast currently. I did notice a current setting that was set at...

    Battery and LCD mismatch

    Had a look at quite a few LCD instruction manuals and found that the volt unit firmware is very similar to a king meter KM5S. The king meter default passwords work on the volt unit. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Battery and LCD mismatch

    So I managed after some online research to access the volt LCD settings. Each battery level bar on the LCD display is assigned a voltage as follows:- 1. 31.0 2. 34.1 3. 35.0 4. 38.0 5. 39.0 These values can be changed. Do they look ok as they are ? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Battery and LCD mismatch

    Evening all, I'm after a bit of advice regarding a minor problem I'm having with my volt pulse bike. I've had the bike about three months now and have done 650 miles. The issue is that there seems to have developed a mismatch between the battery lights and the LCD power bars. When fully...

    I hate you....

    In most cases a warranty on a replacement part runs from the date of the original purchase and is not reset. Best to check with the shop !

    Freego advice re 4mph restriction

    Great tip! Tried that on my 2017 Volt Pulse and the throttle now goes to the max speed of about 17mph instead of cutting out at 4mph. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
