Test first, quote second
Every battery job starts on the bench with a capacity check and a cell-balance reading, so the quote reflects the actual fault.
Voltcycle services e-bikes and e-scooters across Melbourne, with a workshop built around lithium battery diagnostics, repair and safe end-of-life handling.

Most e-bike faults are electrical, not mechanical. We test before we quote, so you find out whether a pack needs a cell, a connector or nothing at all.
Every battery job starts on the bench with a capacity check and a cell-balance reading, so the quote reflects the actual fault.
Motors, controllers, wiring looms, brakes and drivetrains handled in one visit, so a bike is not shuttled between two trades.
Packs that no longer suit a bike are rebuilt for lower-drain use where they are still sound, and only then sent for material recovery.
A lithium pack has a working life measured in charge cycles. Our process follows that life from the first diagnostic through to safe disposal.
Capacity test, cell-group voltages, BMS behaviour and connector condition, written up as a plain-language report.
Cell-group replacement, BMS repair or swap, loom and connector rework, motor and controller repair.
Packs below riding spec but still healthy are rebuilt for stationary, low-drain duty instead of being scrapped.
End-of-life packs are discharged, packed to the dangerous-goods rules and passed to a battery recycler for material recovery.
Commuter e-bikes, cargo bikes, e-scooters and the battery packs that power them — for private riders and for small delivery and hire fleets around Melbourne.
Scheduled servicing and repairs across the whole machine: brakes, drivetrain, wheels, bearings, plus the electrical side other bike shops send away.
Bench testing that measures usable capacity, cell-group balance and BMS behaviour, so a fading pack can be told apart from a tired motor.
Replacing failed cell groups, repairing or swapping the BMS, renewing nickel strip, wiring and connectors, then reassembling and re-testing the pack.
Hub and mid-drive motor diagnosis, controller and display faults, throttle and sensor replacement, and tracing intermittent cut-outs through the loom.
Voltcycle Pty Ltd is an Australian registered proprietary company based in Melbourne, Victoria. We chose a deliberately narrow field — the electrical side of light electric vehicles — because that is where the expensive, poorly understood failures happen.
Every job is booked, tested and reported in writing, and packs we cannot repair are handled under the same safety process as the ones we can.
Describe the fault — range dropping, cutting out under load, refusing to charge — and we will tell you what testing it needs.
