sidderke Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Out of curiosity, I see Voltrides providing a free service of waterproofing a lot of the EUC's they sell. Is this a worthwhile reason for picking them above other EUC resellers in Europe? Anyone have experience with them? I don't really need a new EUC for the moment, but interested in that service. (does it make a big difference in a wheel like a Sherman Max?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheel Guy Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Interested in this as well. Also wondering what they actually do for the waterproofing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superox Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 I bought my wheel from them and also have them service my e-scooter when it needs to. I think they're a good company, they've been around for a while, the guys are enthusiastic about PEVs and involved in the community. I had the free waterproofing done on my wheel and while I don't know exactly what they did, it gives me peace of mind to know at least somebody looked inside and tightened the screws and whatnot. All I know is that it was opened, as the padding needs to be pulled off (and later glued back) in order to open the 16X. Took about 5-6 days for the waterproofed wheel to arrive, as promised. I think because they are offering this free waterproofing deal because have a fairly big workshop, which sits idle in the offseason in the time of snow and slush. Having free waterproofing done gives work for the techs and quite a useful service for the customers, so it's a win-win. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milordas Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Depending on the model we (commented: Voltride) do: Seal the outer case with silicone to prevent water ingress Motor cable connector shielding with heat wrap and silicone Seal exposed connectors Seal leakage points next to the lights and other places Seal battery connectors We do not seal points meant for water exit We (commented: Voltride) do not: We do not open the motor (in most cases) - We do not re-seal the battery (in most cases) We can’t seal the bearing (in most cases) - We do not give any extra warranty for water ingress We do not recommend riding in the rain Well.. good service anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
