The overall ratings of VOLTBIKE KODIAK Electric Cargo Bike.

Reviewed by the VOLTBIKE certified buyer, B Lad on 7 March 2021 – The overall ratings are 4.0 out of 5.0.

I ride this bike everyday. We added a trailer, bought a second bike and now we’ve sold our car. Much better handling than similar Rad Bike I tried (too long a wheelbase). The gearshift broke, but was quickly replaced.

Like: smooth ride, fast bike, throttle start for boost at heavy starts, lots of room for people and stuff, front rack. Concerns: rusting quickly (around a foot pedal, wheel bolts), the chain rubs against the kickstand when pedaling hard, loud brakes (front and now new noise in the back) that don’t seem to quiet with age.

I would like to exchange the handlebar to something more cruisers, but the cables are not long enough. Different handlebar options would be nice to have.

Could the bike better, yes. Front shocks would be nice to have, but not necessary. Excellent bike for the price. Bought a second Kodiak after two months.

Our Opinions:

  • The buyer like KODIAK for easy handling because of the shorter wheelbase.
  • KODIAK has excellent driving performance as well as smooth ride and fast, which gives the buyer a lot of driving pleasure.
  • There are concerns about the rusting problem, the noisy brake and the rubbing of the chain of the crutch, obviously the buyer can easily resolve it to the local bike store.
  • I have no other comments on the buyers comment on the handlebars and front shock because the issue is to have a personal taste.

Conclusion:

In summary, the VOLTBIKE KODIAK has proven its quality by the buyer while some shortcomings are also present. The teething issues are mostly mechanical and obviously can be easily rectified by the local bicycle shop. The highlight buyer is happy with the KODIAK performance, and with this reason buying the second KODIAK.

  1. Hi Stephen. Thank you for another great review. Summer is coming and it will be good to have decent electric bike, but its not easy to choose with so many options on market. Kodiak looks really good with decent specification, good battery and really reasonable price. It’s a shame that there is no child seat, but still I think its worth testing it in practice.

    1. KODIAK price is slightly higher than Rad Power but it is more powerful and faster. Just be fair to VOLTBIKE, not many e-bike sellers have child seats for sales. 

      You can easily buy from the local bicycle shop. Child seat is important for most parents, to ensure getting the best secure type, we have to view the actual way of fixing the child seat before buying. Do not buy online from anyone.

      Thanks a lot for the visits and best comments given to me. I wish you get your dream bike
