Special Edition. E-MTB
Bafang G510 is just monstrous with nearly 4 times more power & nearly twice more torque than a standard Bosch or Shimano motor. The bike is capable of doing 50kmh+ without breaking a sweat. We are proud of our own firmware eMTB 2.o – a two year effort to program & optimise how the motor responds to the pedalling pressure so the ride can be as intuitive & natural as possible!
This mid-drive motor measures your pedalling effort at a frequency of up to 80k Hz via a torque sensor and two speed sensors. The result is that “the harder you push , the more power you get from the motor” – the right way.
SEALED GEARS ARE THE FUTURE OF E.BIKES
Main benefits:
Important Note: there’s a clutch inside. Ease off the pedalling and stop the motor power to safely shift between gears.
VOLITION is the leader in adopting e.bike specific parts and technologies. Max is our premium model carrying all the latest results from our R&D in Australia.

VOLITION has successfully developed a wireless module to cut off the controller power with our partner in Japan and Bafang China. Without the remote, the thieves wouldn’t be able to turn on the bike thus the bike would have no re-sale value. The module is embedded in the motor system. Riders can lock and unlock the controller wirelessly within 10 meters.

Yes. You can (un-restricted version only). The throttle works like a mini e-moped ; please avoid to over-use the throttle especially the take-off.
E.Bike batteries should last up to 4-5 years before dropping to 50% of the original capacity . It is a gradual process.
It really depends. A 910wh battery on a G510 motor can get up to 100km ; but, we also have reports from users achieving less than 50km after sporty rides.
No. Volition E-Bike Australia is a factory to consumer / direct sale manufacturer based in Sydney. We’ve hammered down the price to be the lowest possible.
Most parts are just regular bike parts. You could get help from any bicycle store. If you are experiencing any electrical issue, we can remotely diagnose the issue and send replacement parts. We could also arrange a courier pick up for your bike and have it serviced in Sydney.
We have a short video. We will have also supplied basic tools in the box for you. You could also seek help from a local shop.
There are mainly two motor systems on the market
[Mid Drive]
[Hub Motor Drive]

What is an E.bike battery ?
Voltage = Power
The controller & battery really determine the power level of an e.bike; not necessarily just the motor. The controller draws the current. The battery holds the charge (voltage). The broad conclusion is that the higher the voltage, the more powerful the e.bike is
This is why you will notice the power decrease as the battery holds less and less energy during use. A freshly charged battery is in its most “potent” condition.
Watt.Hour = Range
The misconception is that ampere.hour (Ah) is the battery’s duration. Watt Hour (Wh) is in fact the correct measure of size for a battery. In an approximate estimation, you can travel 5-20km for every 100watt-hours, based on an average of mixed levels of power and variation of terrain. Our numbers are real world figures based on customers’ feedback.
E-Performance;
Like all things, batteries vary significantly in quality and engineering. Some are just unsafe and scary. Firstly, the battery cells are not made equal. Cells are “farmed” and there are Grade AAA and all the way down to Grade C. The prices vary drastically. Unfortunately, almost all highest grade battery cells are grabbed by car manufacturers in their exclusive deals. Premium E.bike batteries are made from Grade A or A- or B+. Cheap batteries tend to use lower grades of cells that tend to die prematurely or the power is lacklustre. One analogy is that if a restaurant wants the best grade of vegetables from the farms, it has to pay for it.
A battery is in fact made of lots of cells. What determines the battery’s overall duration and safety is how they are connected together. We have spent huge amounts of time researching and visiting battery factories. One can assume that the longer time the production line spends on a single battery, the better & safer the battery will be. More time = better results. We have very strict instructions and protocols with our partner factories as to how our batteries are assembled . We make sure that each and every single battery that we sell is as safe as possible. Sadly, we have seen a great number of unsafe batteries purchased cheaply online.
Battery charging;
One common question we get is that should I care about how I am charging the battery. Modern (our) e.bike batteries have a BMS computer board inside to regulate the charging, discharge and prevent over charging and over-use. It also balances the voltage level of each cell. So with our premium BMS. The answer is “no need & just charge it whenever you feel like”.
The charger determines the speed of charging. Fast charging is convenient. But it decreases the longevity of the battery because the “charging” is in fact putting the stress on the battery cells. The faster the charging, the more stress the cells have to bear. If you are not in a huge hurry, a 3 or 5amps charger will do the job just fine.
Note. This is the standard information about G510 motor. Volition re-tunes and re-programs the motor.
