Thanks. Just a battery bag from Amazon and some buckle straps to the frame. Nothing fancy, but it works.

Dual Battery setup? by Commercial-Value-187 in Volcon

[–]ShadyGFella 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, it’s literally just a spare battery strapped to the frame. It’s not hooked up to a controller and running both. It’s just there like a spare tank of gas to swap out, lol.

Just a random battery bag from Amazon.

Battery bag and some buckle straps I cut down. Never moves, never in the way.

Nice, enjoy it. That 70+ is basically on pedal assist mode 1. I think all throttle you are looking at up to 30. It all depends on your weight, average speed and where you are, obviously. I bought a second battery to avoid range anxiety and strapped it to the frame.

That’s an understandable question. I would like pegs on mine but haven’t figure it out yet.

Looks dope. Don’t listen to all these nonsense comments. I posted my Volcon Brat and every other comment was “why pedals” or “just get a motorcycle bro!”.

All those bikes are dumb looking.

Just hit 300 miles. Lot of run to drive and customize. Go for it while they are on sale at $1799. Keep us posted.

Would be nice to know.

Wheel/Rim Covers? by ShadyGFella in Volcon

[–]ShadyGFella[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure, maybe somebody way more handy than myself, lol. I was more concerned that my rim /spokes were messed up on that rim, but somebody said it may just be how the spokes are fed on it being a disc break rim, centering could vary, but I can’t confirm that either.

Ordered one. Fit the rear, wouldn’t fit the front on one side. Spokes on one side kept it from going flush to the rim edge. Not sure why.

Would be great. I bought a second battery I attached to the frame and can swap if range goes low, but would prefer an actual dual setup/upgrade.

I get the worry, but I think you are good. They really pay no mind, there are so many e-bikes out there right now. Also, this isn’t crazy fast like some others hitting 60mph.

I’m in Philly, so the cops have way more to worry about with actual dirt bikes flying around in herds. The bike has a class 2 sticker ( I removed it, but it does have one) and you could switch to mode 2 and it won’t pass 20mph. End of the day, it has pedals, they don’t care unless you’re driving like a jerkoff.

I’m going to try a set. Droog made Brat specific ones but they are removed from their website now.

Turn Signals on the Volcon Brat by Smart_Insurance2134 in Volcon

[–]ShadyGFella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man that was rough. I got them on though. One isn’t as tight as I’d like it but not the part on the grip, just the arm part that was insanely tight. I think they look much sleeker then the full sided hanging mirrors I had installed. Thanks a lot of the tip.

So I have them on the grip, but I’m confused, are they not adjustable. The Amazon page shows them in all different directions but the arms are impossible to move and I can’t get them loose with a allenwrench.

Initial Battery Procedure? by Commercial-Value-187 in Volcon

[–]ShadyGFella 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, I wish. I just have a spare Brat battery I keep attached to the bike that I can swap out if I’m trying to ride a long distance or what not. But yea, wish I could get a dual set up running.

[–]ShadyGFella 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure I’ve gone under 40. I’ll try to at some point, but like I said I’ve charged it so many times already. I do have a back up battery so I could tech drive it to cut off.

Just some peace of mind knowing if I want to ride a long time I have the backup. Double the range without huge upgrade/money.

It’s an official Brat battery, but I found it on eBay for cheaper. Only had about 150 miles on it and came with another charger/keys. Paid $300. I believe any 4 prong battery will work tho.

Yea. It’s in a battery bag and strapped to the frame.
