Default LCD parameter settings – I've messed around with my parameter settings and now I have no pas or throttle. What are the default P settings or is there a way to hard set? Show reply

Great entrance to E biking and great bike Mine second hand to boot – Purchased my Vaulk second hand from Hiring firm, 700 dollars 5 years ago. Still going strong, purchased long range battery for assurity. Had problem with display although looked new, Vaulk repairer in Fitzroy replaced and also gave me new battery as well. Aside from replacing one caliper, fluid system brake on rear it been through everything. Im… Read more ·  1

handy to fixing Motor bikes, cars etc... Now Done over 9,500 klm on it all around Australia, my second vehicle when I park my HILUX for camping , no need to destruct the campsite if you have to go places. Great reliable bike even if second hand. Get One and try it. Saves starting a car to go just to the shop!! If you look after anything it generally will look after you, My wife now rides a Vaulk too, purchased new. She loves it after never being taught to ride a bike!!! still wont get on the back of my Kawasaki though. ENJOY.

Valk bikes are rubbish – We bought a valk e bike and it lasted 2 months and the crank bearings collapsed, they become unreachable after a few emails so we fixed the bearings at a local bike shop, then the battery died after 7 months and as expected the company all of a sudden becomes unreachable so now it is an expensive piece of crap sitting in the shed, what a waste of money, don't buy one of these bikes Show details

Good but not perfect – Obviously these are a great price point for an electric bike, my wife and I ordered one each and have had for a few months now. We had some issues with the inner tubes and have replaced these. The bikes ran well for a few months and we were using them a lot. Although we have had a more serious issue with one of the cranks on the pedal coming… Read more ·  3

loose (this part was pre-assembled by manufacturer), attempting to tighten we notice the screw hole has been stripped. At the moment I am in limbo and cant seem to find an easy way to contact VALK for assistance.

Hoping to have a resolution as it sounds like a very strong support network from VALK. We do still very much enjoy the bikes and will continue to use, hopefully once fixed. You get what you pay for.

Great until it wasn’t – Purchased a Valk mountain e-bike off mytopia back in January 2023 and have 260ks worth of positive experiences. Unfortunately over the weekend the bike started to make loud clunking noises from the front wheel. Initially I found the follow up service provided efficient and responsive. They even offered to send a replacement display to compensate… Read more

for the faulty screen that was provided on delivery. From there it went downhill though. Lots of messages sent and received. Videos needed to be sent and diagnostics completed by my husband using technical videos sent my mytopia. After ruling out issues with the pin and brakes, my husband was able to identify an issue with the bearings through his own investigations. Mytopia’s response… package with all original parts and return by courier at a cost of $150+ REALLY! This is not even an option given accessories have been added and bike seat replaced. What started as a really positive experience has turned sour quickly. Up until now I have and would have recommended this product. Not so now. If they can not provide a follow up service in other metropolitan areas then perhaps they should not sell online. I am very disappointed as now I am left without a bike and only a terrible service to talk of. Just grateful that none of my friends that I have referred this product to have placed an order yet.

Fantastic bike – This the third e-bike I have purchased. Straight out of the box it’s set up is great. Comfortable to ride and the parts are good quality. There were some issues with the battery and after several emails to Mytopia, they sorted it out very quickly. The after sales service is very good. I would definitely recommend Mytopia and this bike. I have had a NCN Prague e-bike and a Cullen e-bike. This is far superior to them. Show details ·  2

VALK MX 7 – *DONT BUY VALK BYCICLES, I bought a VALK MX a year ago and the bicycle has been been basically falling apart from day one, without mention that one the tires came already punctured from the factory which i didn't have problem to fix but there must be something wrong with the wheel, as I have to replace the tyre every month, could be a dent in the… Read more

wheel! IDK, I haven't figured it out yet and I have spent a lot of my time on this bike as I refuse to put it in the bin. -The brakes are extremely noisy and make grinding noises, and YES they are perfectly centred. -It's almost impossible to find spare parts. ***THE PEOPLE FROM CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS ALWAYS FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL THO!

Buyer beware Valk MX7 – The ebike was great until it malfunctioned, then it was impossible to get it fixed. The on line seller mytopia was slow to didn't bother to reply and wanted a video of the bike sitting stationary to show that it wouldn't work.

Value for Money – I've never had an e-bike before so I can only go by my experience with this one. I absolutely love it. Well built excellent electronics long duration battery it just goes and goes. I was a little dubious about Chinese built but this thing rivals a Malvern Star. Bought on My Deal with Cash Rewards for under $900. I wasn't in the market for one but the deal was too good to pass up. 5 stars from me! Show details ·  1

Great entry level E-bike – Just clocked up 2000k, and it's running fine still. Replaced the brake pads twice (but that's to be expected). Nothing has broken, fallen off or failed. It's comfortable, easy to ride, and the battery is holding up well. I got this to replace an inferior, and more expensive leitner, and this just blows that piece of junk out of the water. Show details ·  1

Great value for money – This bike has been great value for money. I have about 450 km on it now over the year. I get about 50 km before the battery is dead flat, which is to and from Melbourne CBD. Only issue with the bike has been (and still randomly occurs) the amount of pedalling required for the power assist to kick in jumps up to 10 turns, which is really annoying.… Read more ·  1

The freight company Mytopia used could have been better as the box was heavily damaged when delivered and there was some minor scratching to the frame. But mytopia compensated with cash and some extra spare parts. I find the support team at mytopia to be really responsive for the freight damage.

Fantastic weekend tourer and weekday commuter, saves a bundle in fuel and parking fees – Done 2,700km extremely comfort with Brooke saddle. I changed the handlebars to fit luggage and multiple torches, lights up turning night into day. Paid for itself already. A great ride. Show details ·  1

Every part in the cycle is low in quality execpt for the battery! – The bike lacks it's basic function of riding. I have been riding this bike from 9 months now and have done 850 KMs. I had to service this bike every 1.5 months as something gets out of performance and need replacement or repair. I'll not recommend this bike to anyone. Just don't go after the looks. Show details

Great bike to ride however getting verbal technical support difficult – The bike arrived well packaged and was easy to assemble. Online manual clear and comprehensive. The bike is a joy to ride. Being electric means I can now tackle hills with my arthritic knees. However, the right pedal fell off today because the thread is stripped on the right crank assembly (i.e. where the pedal screws in). Possibly because I might… Read more ·  1

not have lined up the pedal properly when I first screwed it in although the metal on the crank appears quite soft. I have been unable to find a phone number of anyone to talk to at MyTopia, Edisons or MillsBrands concerning a replacement part under warranty. Fortunately, MyTopia has a good range of Valk spare parts and it was easier and quicker to simply order the replacement part than stuff around tracking down service via emails. Despite this, the bike is great value for money and I highly recommend it.

Fantastic value for money and good quality – Can't beat the value of this bike. Good quality too. Have gone as far as 70km before recharge. I replaced the seat with a softer gel sprung, although the original was ok. Brakes bite hard, gears shift correctly. Big tyres soak up smaller bumps and front forks ease the bigger ones. Lacks fixing points for water bottle and pack rack. Was able… Read more ·  1

to overcome this with creative engineering solutions, using hose clamps with cable ties and adhesive tape. Front headlight was unable to be mounted correctly due to a power lead that was too short. The battery charges up ok overnight. Speedo and instruments work well. Sometimes the electric motor has some delay before it kicks in, not sure why, but doesn't bother me too much. Just need to pedal a bit harder for a few seconds before help arrives. Have gone up some long steep hills and been very impressed and thankful for the electrical assistance. Also, importantly, not so heavy that it can't be ridden without battery power on level ground. Hills would be a challenge.
