Want more speed on your Voy? Before you upgrade the motor, check the following:
- Check for a damaged fuse (Replace with a 20 Amp, miniature fuse 3/16" X 3/4")
- Inflate front and rear wheels to 35 PSI
- Check that the rear wheel band brake is not too tight. Loosen the two screws a half turn, and try the throttle. Make sure you are still able to stop fully.
- Check for bloated batteries. Have you been charging your Voy properly? If you're not getting at least 12 MPH on level road, your batteries may be old or damaged.
does anyone know if this bike need to go thru the dmv?
ReplyDeleteNo, it does not need to. It is a low speed electric bicycle. See this document:

Any places to troubleshoot/repair? Scooter store? Inherited a Voy that was hardly used, replaced the fuse and it took off--the throttle seemed to be locked in the max position--as soon as you turned the key on, it took off! Had to engage both brakes to stop it. Now, nothing happens when the key is turned on. The lights work, and the battery shows a good charge.

I purchased a new controller Ct611B9 but the color codes do not match the voy's wiring, does anybody know if there is a wiring diagram for the voy or how it should be connected?
ReplyDeleteThis is the place you need to look.

I just purchased one of these for my son for Christmas, It did not run when I bought it, I replaced all 3 batteries and now it runs my husband said it just does not have very much pull, he said it will not pull up a small hill. Is this how they are supposed to run or could something be wrong?

Hi,
ReplyDeleteThat sounds about right. The Voy is a very small ebike with a small motor. Any small incline will slow it down greatly.
Please see the upgrade/modification page for ideas to make it go faster:
