Maximizing Your Range

Not all riding conditions are created equal! To get the most out of your Grunt there are a few key things to keep in mind when it comes to range and the long term health of your battery. Lower speeds and less frequent stops will go a long way in preserving your charge. Additional rider cargo and improperly inflated tires or a poorly adjusted chain will also have a negative effect on your batteries range. So keep the following things in mind before riding off on your next adventure.

Yes, if the generator has a minimum output of 1kw.

How many amps does the charger draw?

Can they be ridden in water, mud, snow?

Yes. Volcon vehicles are IP67 rated and are waterproof.

Do the vehicles operate in low or high ambient temperatures?

The Grunt and Runt can be ridden between -4 and 140 degrees F. But they should only be charged between 32 and 133 degrees F.

What is the towing capacity of the Grunt?

The Grunt can tow up to 750 pounds.

What maintenance is needed on the Grunt?

There is very little maintenance needed on the Grunt. Tire pressures should be checked often and set at 8psi. The chain should be lubed every 250 miles or after washing. Brakes and tire tread should be regularly checked. Otherwise, no maintenance is needed.

How much noise does the Grunt make?

The Grunt is silent when sitting still and makes almost no noise when being ridden. The noise heard while riding is mostly from the chain and suspension movement.

Will I be able to power additional electronics?

Volcon Grunts feature a powered USB port.

Can I put different tires on my Grunt/Runt?

The tires on your Volcon Grunt were designed especially for these vehicles. While there are some ATV tire sizes that fit the Grunt and Runt, Volcon recommends against using ATV tires.

Can the motor overheat?

The Grunt features an internal motor temperature limit higher than a rider can likely take it. IIt will protect itself, though, and shut off before that limit is hit.

Can I ride with a passenger on my Grunt/Runt?

The Grunt has the accommodations and load capacity for a passenger if the passenger footpegs are used. The Runt is made for the operator only. A passenger should not be carried on the Runt.

Can the Volcon Grunt battery overheat?

The Volcon Grunt is an electric trail bike designed for off-road operation under Stroll, Explore and Sport Modes.

- Sport mode offers the highest level of performance and draws the highest level of current from the Lithium battery.
- Sustained high load operations may create an elevated battery temperature.
- At higher temperatures the battery is designed to throttle or suspend discharge until it cools to a normal operating temperature.
- While the actual cooling time depends on previous run time and ambient temperature, generally the battery will cool to an operating temperature in approximately 10 mins.
- Once cooled to an operating temperature, we recommend riding the bike in Stroll or Explore modes at partial throttle
