    Volton Alation 500 2013 updates

    I like the grip and the bike in white! Are those water bottle mounts at the top of the battery cover on the downtube? I've been thinking about where to mount the airzound canister for the horn I just picked up and that looks like a good place. Nice to see too that the battery doesn't just...

    Volton Alation 350 and Volton Ease DLX

    I think the 500s have a few more upgrades than the 350s. I know when I ordered the pedal assist had five levels and a better screen/display. I enquired about upgrading to just the better display, but they didn't really offer it as an option. I'd love to see some of the other details like...

    Magnetic Charging Connector Port

    With a couple of recent commercial bikes coming along with a new magnetic charging port, I became interested in knowing more about it. DIY_turbo mentions in this thread (http://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=47139&p=790733#p790733) that the Coboc bike that recently took...

    Volton Alation 350 and Volton Ease DLX

    Had a chance to check out a Stromer in person a couple of weeks ago in person and as I mentioned earlier in the review, the components seem to make a large part of the difference. That said you could replace the fork and motor and still be close to half the cost of the Stromer I would suspect...

    Anyone have a source for this handlebar switch?

    Hi methods, I sent you a PM. Thanks!

    Volton Alation 350 and Volton Ease DLX

    Definitely better on the balance. Also about 90% of people at my office didn't realize it was an ebike so guess the stealth factor is pretty good. I'm anxious to check out a Stomer in person to see how it stacks up. With the price difference you could upgrade nearly all the components of...

    Volton Alation 350 and Volton Ease DLX

    So decided that while I'm doing new fenders, I'd put on some tires with a bit less rolling resistance for the Alation. These are Planet Bike Cascadia full fenders and Michelin City Tire with Protek Plus and Reflective Sidewalls (26x1.85) that replaced the Kenda 26 X 1.95 stock ones. Fenders...

    Anyone have a source for this handlebar switch?

    Anyone have a good source for this horn switch or a close alternative? The price is good on the site it's listed, but shipping is ~30X the cost of the switch. Looking to ship to US (CA). May end up making one if I can't source it...or maybe just an excuse to get a 3d printer....

    Volton Alation 350 and Volton Ease DLX

    So a quick update on the Alation: It was questioned on the other thread about the effectiveness of the rear fender and I found today that I have to agree that there's some issues with its viability. Wasn't raining but had been most of the night and the roads were quite wet this morning. The...

    Volton Alation 350 and Volton Ease DLX

    Definitely does. I think if I finish my Specalized Hardrock build, I'm going to use that type of controller and battery mount so should end up with a pretty similar look the the "El legs."

    Volton Alation 350 and Volton Ease DLX

    Very easily done. The cover is held on with a keyed cylinder lock on the bottom and comes off easily. The battery just slides out. You would have to unscrew the XLR connector and disconnect the charger extension cord on the bottom of the battery and then plug those back in when reinstalling...

    Volton Alation 350 and Volton Ease DLX

    Thanks; it's going pretty well so far. I'll use one of the bike or running apps to figure out my elevation/rise on the commute. I haven't taken it on huge hills yet, but doesn't seem to have any issues on the commute. Granted I'm fairly trim so not adding a lot to the weight and I don't mind...

    Volton Alation 350 and Volton Ease DLX

    Added some detailed pics of the battery, dimensions, and the key/charger area. I added the foam padding at the bottom of the battery and cleaned up a lot of the wiring with zip ties and some electrical tape. Seems to be much better protected now.

    Volton Alation 350 and Volton Ease DLX

    Thanks. I'll add some pics with the battery cover off and details there too. Yes, the bottom of the battery has two connections an XLR type of screw on connector and a basic dc plug tip for charging. There's essentially an internal extension cord that plugs into the charger port of the...

    Volton Alation 350 and Volton Ease DLX

    I added a detailed photo of the motor--it's the Bafang 8FUN BPM 36V 26(11). Also added a few more photos too.

    Volton Alation 350 and Volton Ease DLX

    Hello, About a month ago I picked up two Volton e-bikes--the Alation 350 and the Ease DLX. I'm going to start this thread as a place holder for my feedback and review of two. The Alation has been my daily commuter for the last few weeks (about 8 miles round trip) and the Ease DLX is for...

    Water bottle battery

    Kicking up bit of an old thread, but I did find the case for these sold separately: $26 does not seem too bad for a locking case http://ebike-bmsbattery.com/index.php?url=dispro.php%3Fid%3D114
