The Need for Speed: Fast Charging Your Voltebyk

Time is valuable. If you find yourself waiting all day for your bike to charge, it might be time for a fast-charging accessory upgrade. But is faster always better?

What is a 3A Fast Charger?

Our standard chargers deliver 2A of current. Upgrading to a 36V 3A fast charger can reduce your charging time by about 30-40%. For a typical 7.8Ah battery, this means the difference between waiting 4 hours or just 2.5 hours.

Safety and Battery Health

Some people worry that fast charging damges the battery. However, our original smart chargers are designed to manage the temperature carefully. They only provide high current when the battery is cool and safe, slowing down at the end of the cycle to protect the cells.

The Best Choice for Commuters

If you ride to work and back, a second fast charger kept at the office is a fantastic investment. It ensures you always have a full tank for your ride home, without needing to carry a heavy charger in your bag every day.
