2019 VoltBike Yukon 750 Review - $1.7k

[@teufelhund53]

Just got the Yukon V2 and put 100 miles in it in the first 5 days. Used on street, gravel, dirt/trail, and a couple inches of crusty snow. It stops at nothing and its super fun. I love it (first E-bike)

[@ug9191]

I just ordered one. It's hard to find a 17" frame from other brands, Voltbike says they have a bunch of them. The 20" frame bikes are HUGE. Bike is spec'd out nicely.

[@fredrik4527]

NRAW BlackBear owner here, a very similar looking fat ebike in sweden. Its not a throttle bike, its a pedal assist. But nonetheless, just wanted to say that fat ebikes are nice to ride. I suggest whatever you go for, go with something that makes you happy and healthy. Even an all out throttle ebike is better for overall health than no bike at all.

[@48Drummer]

I have the Yukon White 750 model, i love it so far...bought a different model for the wife, both will be hitting the road soon, spring is here

[@crooker2]

I just ordered my 20" Yukon V2 (2022). I'm a little worried I ordered a bike too big for me (5'11"), but I'm used to riding a Harley Davidson, so big bikes are kind of my thing. :) Can't wait to get it.

[@RogerDiotte]

How'd ya make out? I am thinking I fit the 20" frame but at times I just want a more manageable size lower for some reason! I'm 5'11".

[@Wilmafistfit69]

I'm about 5 10" 5' 11" amd they recommend I get the 17" frame. Just ordered mine and currently waiting if the 17" will be in stock.

[@crooker2]

@@RogerDiotte Sorry I didn't reply to this right away. I'm 5'11 as well, and I find the 20" is fine for me. It can be a bit tall if I raise the seat up, but I've had no problems with it.

[@crooker2]

@@Wilmafistfit69 I find the 20" is manageable for me. LOVE the bike. Have put about 1000kms on it since last year. (Which is great for around town riding. I don't do any long-distance hauling on it.)

[@RogerDiotte]

Hey lol no problem on the late replies... we have a life lol at times lol. Anyways I bought the Voltbike Enduro Mid Drive bike last fall and am happily riding it even though I think the frame is big it really isn't... fits perfect. I also bought on of those foldable ebikes from Amazon and it's also a blast to ride. Between the mid drive and rear hub I find for everyday regular riding the rear hub drives are way better for simplicity and durability to run. The mid drive is a bit more technical in that it needs to be in the right gear at the right time to get maximum performance so for the beginner or average person I've noticed they always take my rear hub bike.... me I love my mid drive though....

[@RabbitsInBlack]

I notice everyone is using the same Batteries and it doesn't matter what company you are going for, they just change the brand name on the case.

[@TransLink]

Yep, there's like five different companies offering the exact same bike with a different logo slapped on it. Rize, Voltbike, Rad Power Bikes... just to name a few.

[@Rhaseanw]

You've got the best job bro 💪💪💪 shout out to you bro

[@jetgold]

yes very nice the fenders are a big plus , real nice ride.

[@VoltbikeCanada]

Yes... full-size fat tire fenders are difficult to find separately. This is why we offer it standard on Yukon 750 Limited.

[@bdavison31]

Will you be doing a comparison review of the newer Yukon 2 and the Yukon?

[@CCRider100]

I purchased the 2019 Yukon a month ago, my initial impressions. Overall love the bike, worth every penny. The negatives: heavy bike combined with lack of rear suspension, and terrible seat (thin hard with no shock absorption) = tailbone rattling ride over any surface even remotely rough. Even a $25 E-Bay aftermarket seat was a noticeable upgrade over the stock Yukon seat. Adding a suspension seat post is my next purchase. Also, if you are riding this bike on the streets, get a decent (loud) horn, the toy bell that comes with the Yukon is comical for all but politely warning pedestrians. Lastly, the inability to turn off the battery power with the key, while the battery is locked on the bike, is not ideal. The RadRover is the superior system here, turn the key one way to unlock the battery from the frame, turn it the other way to disable the power while the battery is locked onto the bike.

[@stevebator3138]

Would you prefer the Rad Rover over the Volt 750?

[@CCRider100]

@@stevebator3138 - I was going back and forth choosing between the Rad Rover and Yukon 750, but ended up going with the Yukon. The deciding factor for me was the larger battery (16AH vs 14AH for the Rad Rover), and the Yukon 750 having hydraulic brakes. The Rad Rover does look like a good bike though.

[@kronomikon5355]

Can you still get a workout with this bike? Very good review by the way, sir. Very thorough and honest.

[@Myeverydaywifelife]

Yes! I own one, you have to pedal, it is just an assist. You can set at 0 to 9 I think, 0 no assist, 9 extreme assist. It also has a throttle boost.

[@billyrock8305]

It’s like the Ford F-150 of Ebikes. That is one super cool Ebike. It’s like a Swiss Army knife Ebike. 👍

[@drums911]

Excellent review as usual! I'm doing my shopping around thing before deciding whaich ebike to purchase. Today I test rode a Yukon 750 Fat Bike. I wasn't paying attention to details and will have to back to see again- unless you can tell me... does the Yukon have freewheeling capacity where rider can stop pedaling - such as on a decline - and bike will coast freely? I also tested the Rd Cidty and this did not appear to be the case on that one. Thank you!

[@jasonjennings6568]

What Fat Tire ebike would you recommend for a bigger guy... In a $1,500ish range? Best durability quality range and speed 4 the money?

Thanks for the info! I’ll pass on this brand.

[@R.B.forMER_S.]

🆒Beautiful good looking E-bikes. I kinda like the Matt black slightly more. The reason: because of the racks,fenders & water bottle... makes up for it. As far as the psi goes I would almost always leave it at MAX, also it really just depends on the terrain,wind & cargo.👍

[@Skeens55]

I'm riding and reviewing an M2S AT R750...so far so goodish, front bearings are starting to squeal, rear tire went flat over night actually.

[@Skeens55]

About the same price and save specs, I'm 250ish and hit 26mph throttle only

[@a.a.alexander6030]

Superbly equipped bike. I disagree with you about the light not pointing wherever you turn the handlebars being a downside as when I'm on a bike, the whole bike is usually pointing in the direction I want to travel and when I'm at standstill - light steady like on cars. Also... I'm not sure why you "cheat" by putting stones under the kickstand. I've seen you do tbis in several reviews. That creates a false impression. You may find it hard to believe, but I not only want to see the bike parked 'n tilting, but I'm also interested in how stable it'll be when parked.

[@Poletramp]

I read your complete review and you mentioned that the drivetrain is weak with the 14-28 tooth cassette what cassette would you suggest and would it involve changing the chainring ?

[@rafaelmejia7210]

It is not a cassette, but a freewheel. Replacing that with a 11-28T freewheel will improve speed.

[@HowDawgg]

how long have you drivebn the bike at max speed thrust only im considering replacing this as an alternative option to the bus

[@helpaholic]

Would it be better to have more teeth on the front sprocket?

[@bdavison31]

Do the Ortlieb panniers fit on the rack?

[@ty1978]

So is the rear rack specific to this bike or can you buy it separately? If you can buy it as an add-on what rack is it and where would I purchase it or something very similar?

[@paulshutts6412]

Back rack is included, but the front rack is an optional purchase.

[@zodus1220]

How fast will this bike go? Can you derestrict the bike for off road riding?

[@jwrappuhn71]

Have you done a review of the mariner folding fat bike? good vid bro, thanks.

[@VoltbikeCanada]

Yes, there is a video review of VoltBike Mariner coming soon. Not sure exactly when it will be published.

[@MikeBabsBC]

With that being a 750w eBike, do you have to register and insure it in BC?

[@jhartmggc]

I believe it’s a 750 watt motor that’s regulated to 500 watts in Canada with the controller

[@michaelsprinzeles4022]

7 speed 14-28 teeth, you sure it's not a freewheel rather than a cassette? I think the "5 volt charger" may be 5 amps rather than volts.

[@bookooc5605]

Another nice review. I am trying to decide between this and a Rad rover. anyone have an opinion? I wonder if you can add a chain guard in on the chain ring?

[@PedroPatricioFreitas]

I think Yukon is better. 750 motor, 16Ah battery and the real killer is the hydraulic break. I own a 2017 which the rear rack has a design issue. After 2 years almost zero maintenance and 2000km on it the only issue is that the battery life is no longer the same and some screw are lose (my bad for not checking) and the rear rack broke (weak material). However other than that the bike is pretty good for the price. I just ordered a new one. I am very excited with the upgrade. Let's see - btw I am selling my old one ;)

[@estuhr]

Booking c, I see for 2020, they added chainring with double bash guard so your chain does not escape even in harsh riding situations. www.voltbike.com/voltbike-yukon-750-limited-2018.html

[@mr.blackhawk142]

The chain guard has to go ON IN! There's no in on! L0L

[@PNSP]

Yes. In the advance setting, you can change the speed limit and wattage.

[@elevenAD]

@@PNSP thanks!

[@carmas54]

How different is this bike from the rad bike, or do they use the same factory in China?

[@VoltbikeCanada]

The major differences are hydraulic disc brakes, bigger battery 16Ah with Panasonic cells, fenders, rear rack, fast 5A charger, water bottle holder, adjustable stem, free motorcycle grade helmet. Also, the battery integration is modern and partially built inside the frame. This provides better weight distribution and better insulation in harsh weather. VoltBike also comes fully inspected, tuned-up and assembled out of the box. The front wheel is also attached.

[@bearsuc8331]

The difference i9s RAD sends you your bike.

[@carmas54]

They either bought the design from a Chinese company in China or the company’s design was stolen by a Chinese company because as it often happens you have to turn over your design/technology to have it built in China

[@carmas54]

VoltBike so other than those cosmetic changes or enhancements you guys ripped off RAD 😂 lol or you’re using the same factory and it’s a Chinese bike

[@VoltbikeCanada]

​@@bearsuc8331 we do build, tune-up and inspect each bike prior to shipping. Each bike is individually packed with extra layers for maximum durability. This, unfortunately, is causing a delay which is more prominent in the peak season. We figured out that this is more beneficial for customers in the long term than simply shipping boxes with bicycles.

[@albertsouj2018]

How much price?

[@scottmay4291]

How did they mount the front rack? I love that but the head tube doesn't have bosses. Tell me, tell me, tell me!

[@ledzepandhabs]

On the current model there is bosses.

[@peacefulprepper2402]

How fast does the 5a charger charge the battery?

[@VoltbikeCanada]

It takes around 4-5 hours to fully charge the battery if it's empty. The charger itself is heavy duty with metal casing and fan inside.

[@peacefulprepper2402]

Putting the fan in there is a nice idea. RADs charger gets really hot.@@VoltbikeCanada

[@VoltbikeCanada]

@@peacefulprepper2402 I agree. Also the 5A charger we provide is with metal casing for better insulation and protection.

[@peacefulprepper2402]

[@xxgg]

How does it compare to Rad Power?

[@VoltbikeCanada]

VoltBike Yukon comes with a battery which is partially built inside the frame. It also comes with hydraulic brakes Tektro, faster 5A charger, fenders, and a rear rack. There is also a choice of 17" or 20" frame size.

[@drums911]

[@ggolds5]

Under $1000 your not getting anything above fair. This bike for 1700+- is a great buy. I have basically a similar bike the Ecomotion CORE Pro E-Fat and it was 2300 and 500w rather then 750. You want 750!. 500 is fine, but not going up steep hills without assisting pedaling even with auto full throttle. This is your best deal overall.

@@mids187 they look like AA's when disassembled. Just boxed together.

Prices are coming down, this same bike 2 years ago would of been a lot more.

The cells are much better than dollar store aa batteries. You can easily get 80km from these packs, but if each cell were instead a dollar store aa, you would twist the throttle and get a fart and a whistle.

Yes, you could spend thousands of dollars on an eBike kzbin.infoUgkxUiL0GnyDjP32RJdd660sP8mZk4CRLTCJ and get something much higher quality. However, if you're looking for a basic model to try out eBiking this is a great choice. The assembly is easy as far as bikes go (took about an hour for me to do, I'm not an expert). All tools needed are included. I added the plastic mud guards you see and a more comfortable seat. The other reviews are correct that you're probably going to want a better seat (Giddy Up! Bike Seat is what I got - super comfortable). The battery easily handles a 2-4 hour ride if you add some of your own pedal power. I haven't even gotten it up to top speed yet - it is very fast. Components are not top of the line, but decent for the price and work just fine. It works great on dirt roads and singletrack and pavement although too heavy to do tricks or any serious technical mountain biking. I'm looking forward to using it a lot over the summer. Tons of fun!

How did they mount the front rack? I love that but the head tube doesn't have bosses. Tell me, tell me, tell me!

[@CCRider100]

The front rack is mounted to the frame with 4 bolts. When you turn the handlebars, the front rack does not also turn as it fixed rigid to the frame of the bike.
